    "Does your child exhibit giftedness and behavioral issues like meltdowns, power struggles, and difficulty relating to their peers? Are they out-of-the-box thinkers requiring different teaching and learning methods? It's a widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. In fact, "twice exceptional" kids-those who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, high-functioning autism, or dyslexia-are often misunderstood by parents, teachers, and themselves. This much-needed and empowering guide reveals the unique challenges these remarkable kids face, and offers strength-based, hands-on strategies for understanding, supporting, and advocating for twice exceptional kids. In a world that labels them lazy, scattered, attention-seeking, and a problem that can't be solved, these tools will help you reimagine the world through your child's unique perspective-so you can help them thrive"--

In fact, the UK's careless'humanitarian' interventions, grandiosity and greed havehelped to fracture the global order built after World War II.Why is the world sodangerous now?How Britain Broke the Worldis by former senior British diplomat Arthur Snell.It critically assesses UK foreign policyover the past 25 years, from Kosovo in1998 to Afghanistan in 2021, while alsoscrutinising British policy towards thepowerhouses of the USA, Russia, India,and China.Far from being unimportant, Snellreveals, Britain has oftenplayed a pivotal role in world affairs.For instance, London supplied the falseintelligence that justified the Alliedinvasion of Iraq and plugged Russia'scorrupt elite into Western economies.Then come the bungled humanitarianinterventions in foreign states.Without the UK's marginal but key role,the author argues, it's likely that warswould not have blighted the Balkans,Iraq, and Libya, hundreds of thousandsof lives would have been saved, and theworld would be a safer place in the 2020s.Taking in Russia's full-scale invasionof Ukraine in 2022, Snell charts the keypolitical, economic and geographicfactors that drive the behaviour of themost powerful and populous countries.Like a diplomatic version of Prisoners ofGeography by Tim Marshall, How BritainBroke the World reveals the ignominiousreality of UK foreign policy and the truestate of world affairs. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Britain's role in international affairs.Review'In this engrossing and frankly deeply troubling book,former senior British diplomat Snell explains howBritain's often incompetent, inconsistent and sometimesdownright greedy foreign policy has played a pivotalrole in rendering the world a more dangerous place.'Not only in regard to Russia, where successive British governments have helped to plug Putin's oligarchy into the Western economic system, but also when it comes to the wars in Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and more'Caroline Sanderson, awarding an 'Editor's Choice' for Non-fiction, The BooksellerAbout the AuthorAfter graduating from Oxford with a firstclass degree in history, Arthur Snell joinedthe Foreign and Commonwealth Office.A fluent Arabic speaker, he served inAfghanistan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Yemen,and Iraq.He headed the international strand ofthe UK Government's Prevent counterterrorismprogramme.He is currently a geopolitical consultantand host of the hit podcast DoomsdayWatch.ExtractThere was a brief silence after the bomb blast. Then shouting,and nervous laughter. The Iraqi official gestured to the shatteredwindow and stammered: 'Shay 'aadi,' a 'normal thing.' We wereboth uninjured, but I learned later that several guards had diedoutside the office where we were meeting. It was 2005 and I was inBaghdad, working as a British diplomat. Car bombs were normal.As I left the building I noticed a charred hand on the ground,probably the bomber's....That day, in the bombed building,I could no longer deny to myself that the Allied powers hadunleashed a terrible whirlwind. Now, as I write in the early 2020s,the existence of Islamic State is a direct consequence of the 2003invasion. But the impact of that terrible mistake stretches farwider: from regional chaos in the Middle East, to shredding thecredibility of Western governments, to the renewed power ofautocratic countries, chiefly Russia and China.A FAILING WORLD ORDERThe unsteady rules-based international order finally collapsed on24th February 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasionof Ukraine. Under stress for some time, this system - internationallaw, accepted national borders, with the United Nations as globalpolice chief - had delivered peace and security for most Westerndemocracies from World War II into the 1990s. Admittedly, manycountries, particularly in the Global South, missed out on theupsides. But a world without this framework is volatile. We areliving in a period of global disorder, conflict and uncertainty.As I write in 2022, major conflicts are laying waste to the largeand geopolitically sensitive states of Ukraine, Libya and Yemen,and civil wars are raging in the large countries of Ethiopia andSyria. In addition, an arc of instability runs across the entireSahel region of Africa and widespread civil strife continuesin Myanmar, Afghanistan and Iraq. Running alongside theseflashpoints is the spectre, once more, of great power conflict.ContentsIntroduction1. An 'Ethical' Foreign Policy2. Kosovo: War in Europe3. Iraq, MI6 and a Botched Invasion4.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Unapologetically optimistic and bracingly realistic, this is the most inspiring book on ';ethical living' I've ever read.' Oliver Burkeman, Guardian ';A monumental event.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind ';A book of great daring, clarity, insight and imagination. To be simultaneously so realistic and so optimistic, and always so damn readable well that is a miracle for which he should be greatly applauded.' Stephen Fry Humanity is in its infancy. Our future could last for millions of years or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. As we approach a critical juncture in our history, we can make profound moral decisions about how humanity's course plays out. We can create positive change on behalf of future generations, to prevent the use of catastrophic weapons and maintain peace between the world's great powers. We can improve our moral values, navigating the rise of AI and climate change more fairly for generations to come. The challenges we face are enormous. But so is the influence we have. If we choose wisely, our distant descendants will look back on us fondly, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world that is beautiful and just.

Sveriges historia är spännande för många svenskar att läsa om, och här är boken "Sveriges historia" av Björn Höglund intressant. Här fokuserar författaren på de människor, förhållanden och händelser som på gott och ont har satt sina spår i Sveriges historia tillsammans med massor av härliga illustrationer som gör det hela mer lättillgängligt.
Förutom att vi erbjuder böcker om Sveriges historia, erbjuder vi också historiska böcker om händelser i andra länder. Om du har ett stort intresse för historiska böcker om andra världskriget och till exempel vill bli klokare om de många politiska strategierna och om Sveriges agerande under kriget, kan en rekommendation från Tales.se vara boken ”Hitler, Stalin och Sverige” av John Gullmour.

Böcker om samhället

Ett samhälle är en gemenskap av individer och det förändras mycket genom historien. Samhället vi har levt i har haft många olika faser, vilket har gjort att vårt stora urval har varit en nödvändighet då vi vill ge alla en bok de tycker är spännande. Om du är intresserad av de konkreta samhällen som har funnits genom tiderna kan du hitta böcker om allt från det traditionella, det moderna och det senmoderna samhället till det humanistiska samhället.
Här kan du till exempel läsa om de sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella relationerna mellan befolkningen, eftersom det har varit stora fluktuationer över tiden. Om du till exempel är intresserad av Kväkarna, kan en bok som ”Kväkarnas människosyn” av Henning E. Sandström vara en spännande bok att läsa. En fascinerande berättelse om kväkarna i det förflutna, nuet och framtiden. Annars kanske du tycker att boken ”Society without God” av Phil Zuckerman är intressant? Boken behandlar många frågor om hur vårt samhälle kan fungera när Sverige tror mycket mindre på Gud än resten av världen. Vi har en bok för alla.

På Tales.se hittar du därför ett stort urval av svenska och utländska böcker, som ger en inblick i hur historien har påverkat vår värld. Vi har också böcker om den värld vi lever i idag och vilka svåra samhällen människor har varit med om tidigare och naturligtvis vilket inflytande det har haft på oss idag. Så skynda dig att utforska vårt historiska universum och lär dig mer om världens historia.
