Create a multifunctional – and stylish – space for working and living at home. Own Your Zone helps you to create a multifunctional, calm space that works for you and strikes the perfect balance between living and working from home – without compromising on style. Our home now needs to serve multiple purposes; it needs to be a place we work, work out, wine, dine and chill. With Own Your Zone, learn how to break your home into different zones for work and play. Create an environment that helps you get in the zone at the start of the working day and to easily switch off and wind down when 5.30pm hits. With more and more of us working from home and it looking likely to become our ‘new normal’ (firms including Twitter and Facebook have said they will allow employees to work from home for ever!), the work-life divide has become hopelessly blurred. Whether you’re working from your bedroom or your kitchen, learn how to carve out a space to help you focus for your 9 to 5, create a book nook for all that important down time or a clutter-free space for yoga – all in the same room.

This series helps students and teachers following the Cambridge AS & A Level Thinking Skills syllabus (9694) for examination from 2020. Universities and employers have high expectations for 21st century learners. They want students who can think critically, collaborate efficiently and produce creative solutions to problems. With more practice questions than the previous edition, this coursebook provides opportunities for students to improve both their critical thinking and problem solving skills. It walks students through different scenarios – such as drawing conclusions from arguments – explaining the thinking process involved and helping to increase confidence when thinking independently. Suggested answers to the coursebook questions are in the teacher's resource.

This is a complete guide to planning for and teaching critical thinking in schools, whether for discrete assessment or to improve analytical skills across the curriculum. National strategies across the globe are increasingly emphasizing the need to enhance pupils thinking skills to respond to employers' requirements. Most schools now offer qualifications in critical thinking in some form or another, be it an AS level or Pre-U qualification, and it's down to teachers with little or no previous experience of the subject to teach it. "The Thinking Teacher's Toolkit" will equip new and existing teachers of critical thinking with the skills and confidence to deliver vibrant and thought-provoking lessons. With a clear introduction to what critical thinking skills are, clear approaches to preparing to teach, lesson plans and ideas for integrating critical thinking skills across the curriculum, as well as advice on how to handle assessment, this is the ultimate toolkit for any teacher wanting to improve their students reasoning and problem-solving skills.
