Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Consider two wheelchairs in Washington, DC—one well-known, and one forgotten. The former belonged to FDR and is now memorialized in bronze with a statue of its user forever attached to the seat. The other sits in the climate-controlled basement of the Smithsonian. Its owner was Ed Roberts, the deceased father of the Disability Culture Movement, and it was dropped off at the museum with a note that argued that the chair has an important story to tell. Christopher R. Smit understands that all wheelchairs have stories to tell, narratives described in this book as integral to our understanding of how technology and human beings are forged together into meaningful markers of progress and power. While the wheelchair can so easily evoke positive concepts like mobility, nimbleness, transport, and volition, it is also often attached to darker notions of neediness, isolation, sickness and inertness. Wheelchair demythologizes a revolutionary machine and revises its place in the history of objects. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Until the recent political shift pushed workers back into the media spotlight, the mainstream media had largely ignored this significant part of American society in favor of the moneyed "upscale" consumer for more than four decades. Christopher R. Martin now reveals why and how the media lost sight of the American working class and the effects of it doing so. The damning indictment of the mainstream media that flows through No Longer Newsworthy is a wakeup call about the critical role of the media in telling news stories about labor unions, workers, and working-class readers. As Martin charts the decline of labor reporting from the late 1960s onwards, he reveals the shift in news coverage as the mainstream media abandoned labor in favor of consumer and business interests. When newspapers, especially, wrote off working-class readers as useless for their business model, the American worker became invisible. In No Longer Newsworthy, Martin covers this shift in focus, the loss of political voice for the working class, and the emergence of a more conservative media in the form of Christian television, talk radio, Fox News, and conservative websites. Now, with our fractured society and news media, Martin offers the mainstream media recommendations for how to push back against right-wing media and once again embrace the working class as critical to its audience and its democratic function.

If you want to know how to run an Outstanding School then read this This book is a memoir of an outspoken maverick Headteacher who did it his way. He was a Rock 'n' Roll Head who fought for his philosophy and lead his school to three consecutive Outstanding Ofsted inspections. He had a passion and a vision that permeated the fabric of the school and transformed it into one of the best schools in the country. He was a rebel who did not kow-tow to Ofsted or the Local Authority, who spent the early years of his teaching fighting for his beliefs in a traditional, hidebound school that was floundering and found himself taking on the entire hierarchy of the school. He believed in valuing all his students, caring for them and putting that above all else. He believed in equality, freedom, and fairness and refused to allow any system into his school that was contrary to those principles. He believed racism, sexism, bullying, violence and xenophobia were evils that should be opposed before all else.In the course of standing up for his beliefs he led the school on a journey that culminated in three 'Outstanding Ofsted's', Attendance rates that were the best in County, an exam success rate that built year upon year to great heights, and a behaviour record that was unsurpassed. Every single area of his responsibilities over the whole thirty six years of his teaching was deemed by inspection to be outstanding, excellent or exemplary.This is the story of how he created that success.

How should the Arctic be viewed in the 21st century? In this book, a leading commentator assesses the competing players for the Arctic, looking at broad questions of governance and security. The author challenges the view that the Arctic is a passive space which is the focus of competitive advances from superpowers, arguing that it is more correctly understood as a dynamic pluriverse. Drawing on international law, international relations and diplomacy, this is an important re-assessment of the Arctic and its position in geo-politics.
