Linor Goralik

Richard Panchyk
A broad, structured introduction to New York City’s history, linking people, places, politics, geography, conflict and change. It suits a reader who enjoys learning through chronological chapters and visual material, with optional hands-on activities alongside the historical account.
Edward Humes
A fact-rich investigation of rubbish as a cultural, economic and environmental problem, combining statistics and history with vivid people and practical examples of communities reducing waste.
Satoshi Kitamura

Liz Miles
This book offers a personal, question-led route into Ancient Greek society rather than only a summary of rulers or events. Its range of voices can help readers compare work, status, religion and community life.
Jerome Pohlen
A chronological introduction to LGBT civil-rights history, told through people’s experiences, major struggles and contributions. Its creative activities make the subject participatory, while the historical scope connects earlier activism with more recent events.
