There is no shortage of challenges in schools today—from bullying to gun violence and beyond—yet The Magical Place We Call School reminds us of the extraordinary things that still happen in classrooms all across America and that school truly can be a safe and happy place for learning.
At a time when public discourse rages on about what students should or should not be taught, when books are being banned, when school shootings fill the news, and when families are still reeling from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic—here comes The Magical Place We Call School.

In her literary debut, school principal Dr. Kathleen Corley, a forty-year veteran in elementary education, writes knowingly and with unique humor and insight about the value of education, how kids think and learn, what they need to succeed in and out of school, and how their home life affects their performance. Plus, she tackles some of the most daunting societal issues impacting children today, from bullying to gun violence and beyond.
Dr. Corley reminds us that something extraordinary still occurs in classrooms across America—not just miraculously, but by design and with tenacity.
In The Magical Place We Call School, Corley shares human interest stories that shed light on what is and isn’t working and provides a calm hand and a much-needed perspective from the front lines of learning. Her deep caring for the children, educators, and parents in her midst shines through, providing a true sense of what she calls “the magic of schools.” It’s a book not to be missed.

Did you know that the English longbow was the “machine gun” of the medieval era, with its effectiveness being far greater than the crossbow?
The English longbow, typically made of yew wood, was one of the most powerful weapons in the Middle Ages that could change the course of battles. Measuring up to six feet in length, this weapon was highly regarded for its power and accuracy—trained archers could accurately shoot their target from over 200 yards.
The longbow also had a faster rate of fire compared to crossbows. Archers could release up to twelve arrows in a minute, while a crossbowman could only fire a maximum of three bolts in the same span of time. Because of this, longbowmen could unleash a devastating rain of arrows upon their enemies, disrupting their formations so the other units could charge in.
The medieval archers also required less training time to master the art of the longbow since the weapon’s mechanics were far simpler than that of crossbows. The most significant advantage of the longbow, however, was its penetrating power. An accurate shot could easily pierce through the armor of medieval soldiers. These archers would also fire at charging steeds to take down mounted knights. Without their mounts, heavily armored knights would be rendered immobile, making them almost completely vulnerable.
The history of the Middle Ages is rather complex and intricate. With so many events taking place simultaneously, it is easy to get confused over time. But that is about to change as this all-new history audiobook allows you to easily explore the gripping events that took place within this interesting period.

La paranoia y las recriminaciones desatadas por las inquisiciones religiosas son extraordinarias.
Este libro explora la Inquisición en profundidad, sin dejar piedra sin remover para encontrar la raíz de lo que impulsó estas persecuciones religiosas.
La mayoría de la gente conoce la Inquisición española, pero hubo otras inquisiciones, como las llevadas a cabo por los romanos y los portugueses. ¿Qué fue lo que motivó a estos fervientes fanáticos religiosos a aplastar todas las opiniones contrarias de su entorno?
Es bastante fácil pintar a un bando como los «buenos» y al otro como los «malos». Pero, a menos que seamos un grupo de niños jugando a policías y ladrones, esta es una interpretación demasiado simplista, estrecha de miras y vaga de lo que es una historia muy compleja. En este libro exploramos todos los oscuros recovecos de lo que desencadenó la investigación masiva de la fe de los demás y la persecución desenfrenada de las creencias religiosas.
En este libro fascinante, descubrirá lo siguiente:
- Las causas profundas de la Inquisición.
- Las verdaderas motivaciones de la persecución.
- Los duros métodos de tortura utilizados para obtener confesiones.
- El costo estimado que la Inquisición tuvo en la vida de las personas.
- Cómo terminó la Inquisición.
- Su impacto y su legado.
- ¡Y mucho más!
