Book Description
Importance of education in fostering positive international relationships In today's intricate global landscape, education stands as a cornerstone in the edifice of fostering positive international relationships. Its significance transcends mere academic attainment; it embodies a transformative force that shapes individuals, societies, and nations towards mutual understanding, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence. At its core, education serves as a powerful catalyst for cultural appreciation and empathy. Through exposure to diverse perspectives, traditions, and beliefs, education cultivates a mindset of respect and tolerance. It teaches individuals to navigate the complexities of cultural differences with curiosity rather than bias, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and mutual respect essential for building bridges across nations. Moreover, education equips individuals with the essential tools for effective communication and collaboration on a global scale. Proficiency in languages, intercultural communication skills, and a deep understanding of global issues are nurtured through educational experiences. These skills are fundamental in fostering meaningful dialogue, resolving conflicts amicably, and forging partnerships based on mutual benefit and shared values. The role of education extends beyond interpersonal interactions; it is intricately linked to economic and social development. Educated societies are more equipped to address pressing global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental sustainability. Education empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities and economies, creating a ripple effect of progress and prosperity that transcends borders. Furthermore, education nurtures the seeds of global citizenship, instilling a sense of responsibility towards the broader human family. It cultivates ethical leadership, social justice advocacy, and a commitment to upholding universal human rights. These values form the bedrock of positive international relationships, as they inspire collective action towards common goals and aspirations. In essence, the importance of education in fostering positive international relationships cannot be overstated. It is a transformative force that shapes attitudes, behaviors, and aspirations towards a more interconnected and harmonious world. By investing in education, we invest in the foundation of peaceful coexistence, global cooperation, and sustainable development for generations to come.

Book Description
Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, the long-awaited follow-up to Mom's Cancer, is a unique graphic novel that tells the story of a young boy and his relationship with his father. Spanning the period from the 1939 New York World's Fair to the last Apollo space mission in 1975, it is told through the eyes of a boy as he grows up in an era that was optimistic and ambitious, fueled by industry, engines, electricity, rockets, and the atom bomb. An insightful look at relationships and the promise of the future, award-winning author Brian Fies presents his story in a way that only comics and graphic novels can. Interspersed with the comic book adventures of Commander Cap Crater (created by Fies to mirror the styles of the comics and the time periods he is depicting), and mixing art and historical photographs, this groundbreaking graphic novel is a lively trip through a half century of technological evolution. It is also a perceptive look at the changing moods of our nation-and the enduring promise of the future. Praise for Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? “A graphic novel that looks like TV’s “Futurama” bred with The Golden Age of Comic Books, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? is at times charming, at times sad and foreboding, and always thought provoking.” —Air & Space Smithsonian "A hopelessly optimistic moon-age daydream"—The Village Voice “An exceptional and highly engaging experience.” —The Miami Herald "Whatever Happened To The World Of Tomorrow is a very special book that will speak to you on so many levels. And at the end of it, when you sit there and think on what you’ve just read, it may even make you, like it did me, realise that Fies’ vision of our past and his hope for the future is something we can all share in. Quite brilliant."—Richard Bruton, forbiddenplanet.co.uk F&P level: Y

Book Description
This is a book about what many teachers know but are increasingly being prevented from talking about: that real education always involves a risk. The risk is there because, as W. B. Yeats has put it, education is not about filling a bucket but about lighting a fire. It is there because students are not to be seen as objects to be moulded and disciplined, but as subjects of action and responsibility. The Beautiful Risk of Education is organised around a critical discussion of seven key educational concepts: creativity, communication, teaching, learning, emancipation, democracy, and virtuosity. By opposing the risk aversion that characterises many contemporary educational policies and practices, Gert J.J. Biesta makes a strong argument for giving risk a central place in our educational endeavours and brings risk taking to the forefront of a critical pedagogical practice.

Book Description
A new history explains how and why, as it prepared to enter World War II, the United States decided to lead the postwar world. For most of its history, the United States avoided making political and military commitments that would entangle it in European-style power politics. Then, suddenly, it conceived a new role for itself as the world’s armed superpower—and never looked back. In Tomorrow, the World, Stephen Wertheim traces America’s transformation to the crucible of World War II, especially in the months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the Nazis conquered France, the architects of the nation’s new foreign policy came to believe that the United States ought to achieve primacy in international affairs forevermore. Scholars have struggled to explain the decision to pursue global supremacy. Some deny that American elites made a willing choice, casting the United States as a reluctant power that sloughed off “isolationism” only after all potential competitors lay in ruins. Others contend that the United States had always coveted global dominance and realized its ambition at the first opportunity. Both views are wrong. As late as 1940, the small coterie of officials and experts who composed the U.S. foreign policy class either wanted British preeminence in global affairs to continue or hoped that no power would dominate. The war, however, swept away their assumptions, leading them to conclude that the United States should extend its form of law and order across the globe and back it at gunpoint. Wertheim argues that no one favored “isolationism”—a term introduced by advocates of armed supremacy in order to turn their own cause into the definition of a new “internationalism.” We now live, Wertheim warns, in the world that these men created. A sophisticated and impassioned narrative that questions the wisdom of U.S. supremacy, Tomorrow, the World reveals the intellectual path that brought us to today’s global entanglements and endless wars.
