A must read for anyone looking to understand Russia better!” — Clarissa Ward, CNN chief international correspondent and author of On All Fronts After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the timing appeared perfect to bring Sesame Street to millions of children living in the former Soviet Union. With the Muppets envisioned as ideal ambassadors of Western values, no one anticipated just how challenging and dangerous this would prove to be. In Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia, Natasha Lance Rogoff brings this gripping tale to life. Amidst bombings, assassinations...

School-based food and nutrition education
School-based food and nutrition education (SFNE) helps schoolchildren and the school community to achieve lasting improvements in their food practices and outlooks; build the capacity to change and to adapt to external change; and pass on their learning to others. SFNE has also an important role in complementing efforts that are being made globally to improve food environments, and in empowering children and adolescents to become active participants in shaping the food system to be better able to deliver healthy and sustainable diets. Despite increasing interest for SFNE, the evidence that supports it and its potential, much of traditional SFNE, particularly in LMICs, is largely underfunded,...

We are living and working in times that are complex and fast changing. The Dao of Complexity is a book about challenging and deepening worldviews.

It connects to ideas from such diverse fields as quantum physics, brain science, political theory and economics. Jean asks what ‘making sense’ of the world means in these turbulent times and how that can galvanise action for ...
