From a New York Times bestselling authority on education comes a groundbreaking guide to navigating classroom challenges through an approach that is proactive instead of reactive, collaborative instead of unilateral, and focuses on solving underlying problems rather than punishing the behaviors that are caused by those problems.Educators have never felt less safe at school and are leaving the profession in droves. There have never been more students with concerning behaviors, and the behaviors are more extreme than ever. And there has never been more pressure—on both kids and educators—to achieve. Dr. Ross Greene, renowned for his pioneering work in education, observes that a huge part of the problem relates to the practices schools have traditionally used when working with students with concerning behaviors; practices which have become obsolete and counterproductive. Those practices share three common (1) they’re reactive (late) rather than proactive (early); (2) they’re unilateral rather than collaborative; and (3) they’re focused on concerning behaviors (modifying them) rather than the problems that are causing those behaviors (and solving them). For years, we’ve been training educators what to do once students are already escalated; in order to move things in the right direction, we need to be training educators on what to do so students don’t become escalated in the first place. That’s true crisis prevention. Building on the principles introduced in his landmark, New York Times bestselling book, Lost at School, Greene shows readers how to focus on identifying and solving problems with students, how to be early and collaborative, and how to refine structures and policies in schools to accomplish the mission. He underscores the importance of meeting students where they are and recognizing that concerning behaviors and crises typically arise from unmet expectations and the frustration they provoke. Greene equips educators and caregivers with the tools to foster safer, more inclusive learning environments. In easy-to-understand, practical terms, Greene provides a clear roadmap for turning things around, complete with vignettes, case studies, and the voices of educators who’ve done it. This book offers actionable solutions that can transform the educational experience for all students and their caregivers and shows that real change is possible. As our current school system navigates unprecedented challenges, this book serves as a vital resource—providing hope and guidance to create a better, more supportive future for students and educators alike.

A thrilling book about the abounding queerness of the natural world that challenges our expectations of what is normal, beautiful, and possible.Growing up, Patricia Kaishian felt most at home in the swamps and culverts near her house in the Hudson Valley. A child who frequently felt out of place, too much of one thing or not enough of another, she found acceptance in these settings, among other amphibious beings. In snakes, snails, and, above all, fungi, she saw her own developing identities as a queer, neurodivergent person reflected back at her—and in them, too, she found a personal path to a life of science.In Forest Euphoria, Kaishian shows us this making of a scientist and introduces readers to the queerness, literal and otherwise, of all the life around us. Fungi, we learn, commonly have more than two biological sexes—and some as many as twenty-three thousand. Some intersex slugs mutually fire calcium carbonate “love darts” at each other during courtship. Glass eels are sexually undetermined until their last year of life, which stumped scientists once dubbed “the eel question.” Nature, Kaishian shows us, is filled with the unusual, the overlooked, and the marginalized—and they have lessons for us all.Wide-ranging, richly observant, and full of surprise, Forest Euphoria will open your eyes and change how you look at the world around you.

A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power, and redemption. In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gévaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake. Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of his indwelling demon, Sarmodel – who takes payment in living hearts – it nearly cost him his life to bring the monster down. Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d’Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse. But Gévaudan is not as he remembers it, and Sebastian’s unfinished business is everywhere he looks. Years of misery have driven the people to desperation, and France teeters on the edge of revolution. Sebastian’s arcane activities – not to mention his demonic counterpart – have also attracted the inquisitorial eye of the French clergy. And the Beast is poised to close his jaws around them all and plunge the continent into war. Debut author Cameron Sullivan tears the heart out of history with this darkly entertaining retelling of the hunt for the Beast of Gévaudan. Lifting the veil on the hidden world behind our own, it reimagines the story of Europe, from Imperial Rome to Saint Jehanne d’Arc, the madness of Gilles de Rais and the first flickers of the French Revolution.

From the author of Abolish the Family, a provocative compendium of the feminisms we love to dismiss and making the case for the bold, liberatory feminist politics we’ll need to stand against fascism, nationalism, femmephobia, and cisness.In recent years, “white feminism” and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won’t make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need.Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today’s anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist.At once a left transfeminist battlecry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms /em> is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.
