  Foreword by Ian Gilbert.
  At a time of unprecedented challenges in relation not only to the climate crisis but also to children's and adolescents' mental health, connecting to nature offers an accessible and desirable way forward for today's learners - especially those living in urban surroundings.
  Bringing together evidence from psychology, environmental science and education, Alexia aims to support teachers as they provide meaningful experiences rooted in learning about and through nature. The book can be used in two ways: to inspire individual sessions in nature, or to support teachers in building a cohesive outdoor-learning curriculum throughout the school.
  Featuring practical advice, case studies and discussion of original theory, the book aims to inspire, motivate and stimulate educators to engage with alternative approaches to teaching in the outdoors and with nature in mind - and in such a way that promotes students' learning and fosters a long-lasting relationship with nature.
  Independent Thinking on Nature-Based Learningshares case studies and examples of good practice from a variety of settings - ranging from kindergarten to secondary. Detailing the physical and psychological benefits of being outdoors, the book suggests ways to help build young people's connection with nature and support their autonomy in naturalspaces. Alexia offersideas on how to weave nature and the outdoors into the very fabric of the curriculum - for example, in relation to art, literature and technology.
  Suitable for teachers and outdoor-learning leaders in early years through to secondary schools.
  Independent Thinking on Nature-Based Learningis one of a number of books in the Independent Thinking On seriesfrom the award-winning Independent Thinking Press.

  Good God - Suffering faith...

  How can Christians believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing and loving God whilst there is so much suffering in the world? Contemporary theology books refer to the problem of theodicy as a significant and unresolved problem. Engaging with theology, biblical study, physics and biology, and philosophy and producing a cohesive synthesis of these subjects, Good God offers an answer that has the potential to re-integrate Christian theology with science and philosophy for the first time since the Enlightenment.
  
   
  Michael Brooks writes with both academic rigour and pastoral sensitivity. As a science and medicine graduate who is also an ordained minister, he makes science and theology comprehensible to those not trained in either discipline.
  
   
  The book opens the reader to the notion of a wonderful creation that is so full of the miraculous that this is taken for granted. Good God provides an answer to a very important question in a way that edifies faith and offers eternal hope.

  Aceh War The: The History of the...

  During the 17th century, the Netherlands, despite having only 1.5 million people in 1600, became a global maritime and trading power. By contrast, France at the time had 20 million people, Spain had 8 million, and England had 5 million. Nevertheless, Amsterdam became one of the most important urban centers in the world and the location of the world’s first stock market, and Dutch merchant ships and pirates plied the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. The Dutch acquired colonies in the East Indies, where they seized control of the spice trade from the Portuguese, and in the West Indies, they acquired a number of islands from the Spanish (several of which are still Dutch today). They became the only Westerners who were allowed to trade with Shogunate Japan from a small island next to Nagasaki, and they settled the town that ultimately became New York City. Naturally, all of this imperialism generated enormous amounts of wealth that flowed into the Netherlands. 
  	Naturally, not everybody welcomed the Europeans, and some of the fiercest opposition came from the Sultanate of Aceh. Aceh is now a part of Indonesia, but the people have stubbornly maintained a unique sense of self-identity based on a quite distinct and separate history. Once a major political and military power in the Indian Ocean, its power gradually declined over a period of several centuries, but Aceh successfully maintained its independence until 1873, when the Dutch invaded. The war between the Dutch and the Acehnese was the longest and bloodiest of the many Dutch military campaigns in Indonesia. Even after the Dutch technically subdued them, insurgency campaigns would last well into the 20th century, and sporadic fighting was still ongoing as the Japanese pushed across the Pacific in the 1930s and 1940s.

  Mexico - Historical Milestones...

  Mexico’s history is a fascinating blend of ancient civilizations, colonial rule, and modern economic evolution. Situated at the crossroads of North and Central America, the country has played a crucial role in shaping regional and global events. From the sophisticated societies of the Mayans and Aztecs to the dramatic upheavals brought by Spanish colonization, each era has left an indelible mark on Mexico’s cultural and economic landscape. This book explores key milestones that have defined Mexico’s development and the economic transformations that continue to shape its future.  
  The origins of Mexico’s rich history begin with its diverse geography, which has influenced the rise of powerful civilizations. The Aztecs, with their vast empire and advanced societal structures, left behind a legacy of engineering, agriculture, and governance that still resonates today. Similarly, the Mayans developed sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems, highlighting the intellectual achievements of pre-Columbian Mexico. These civilizations thrived for centuries before encountering the seismic changes that came with European arrival.  
  The Spanish conquest in the early 16th century marked a profound turning point. Hernán Cortés and his forces, aided by superior weaponry and alliances with indigenous groups, dismantled the Aztec Empire and imposed colonial rule. Spain’s domination reshaped Mexico’s social, economic, and political structures. The encomienda system placed indigenous populations under harsh labor conditions, while the introduction of Catholicism and European traditions altered local customs and belief systems. Despite the oppression, Mexico’s indigenous and mestizo populations adapted, creating a unique cultural fusion that remains a defining aspect of the country’s identity.
