Paperback. Condition: Very Good. All major cities in Africa have at least one international school and they are prominent in the lives of transient diplomats, other expatriates, and, increasingly, of the local middle classes. They throw up multiple challenges as different cultures interact, not always easily or willingly. The International School of Ndwalowe, in the imaginary African country of Awanza, is just emerging from bankruptcy. Charged with this responsibility, indeed daunted by it, is Peter Corby, British, in his first headship and in Africa for the first time. He must deal with recalcitrant teachers, unreasonable parents, intractable students, and a sometimes-frustrating Board of Directors in this affectionate tale often inspired by the authors own experiences. "Superbly evoked are the entertaining characters found in many an international school worldwide, in the emotively described context of a fictional country in southern Africa. Peter Mackenzie draws on his broad and varied experiences in many countries, but especially in Africa which he clearly loves. The result is a lively page-turner full of insights and plenty of fun a reader's delight. Harry Deelman, International school veteran. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'Read this and add at least a fortnight to your life.' - Jeremy Vine'Real, down-to-earth and urgently needed.' - Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand WeeksWhy do we feel stress? And how can we change things?How Stress Works is a pioneering collaboration between leading researcher Richard Mackenzie and journalist Peter Walker. Investigating the science of stress hormones, real-life case studies, the history of stress, societal factors and how they interact with stress, Mackenzie and Walker explain exactly how stress works, and what we can do to mitigate its long-term health impact. This is the book exploring the nuances of stress and how it affects you.You'll learn how stress impacts and interacts with:Your hormonesWeightType 2 diabetesYour work and socio-economic statusFertility and pregnancyEarly childhood and upbringingPlus practical and adaptable strategies for coping with stress at home and at workPacked with conversation-starting science and stories, How Stress Works answers the important questions and busts common myths. Did you know that low-carb diets can increase cortisol levels, as can HIIT exercise, causing insulin and glucose surges? Or that stress hormones can affect fertility for all genders? Mackenzie and Walker dive into society and stress, considering if the higher rate of type two diabetes in disadvantaged communities is entirely due to lack of healthy food and exercise - or is the stress of poverty itself a major factor?One thing is clear: stress is complex and personal, with many contributing factors. In How Stress Works, the authors present the view that much (if not most) stress is caused by factors outside of your control. It's not your fault if you're stressed. But having the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in your body when stress occurs is a powerful step towards minimizing it.
