Poles Apart!

Product Information

In Poles Apart, the authors give us a comprehensive review of the psychology of groupishness and polarisation. It's a fascinating read, which will help anyone who wants to step out of the polarisation cycle and become part of the solution, rather than part of the problem that is now damaging the world's leading democracies. Jonathan Haidt, NYU-Stern School of Business, author of The Righteous Mind and The Happiness Hypothesis A nice adventurous story of Polar Bear and Penguins and friendship which grew between them with a wrong turn. Illustrations are beautiful and colourful.

Meeting Point: St Mary's Church (Pavement in-front of St Mary's main church access), Church Rd, Wallington SM6 7NJ. Our Nordic Walking Group has evolved to become its own little community consisting of friendly, welcoming and supportive people who enjoy a chat whilst they exercise. You can participate social element as much, or as little, as you wish.You will receive support, technique guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor. We do warm-up exercises before the session and cool-down stretches after our Nordic Walk. In Poles Apart, an expert on polarisation, a behavioural scientist and a professional communicator explain why we are so prone to be drawn into rival, often deeply antagonistic factions. They explore the shaping force of our genetic make-up on our fundamental views and the nature of the influences that family, friends and peers exert. They pinpoint the economic and political triggers that tip people from healthy disagreement to dangerous hostility, and the part played by social media in spreading entrenched opinions. And they help us to understand why outlooks that can seem so bizarre and extreme to us seem so eminently sensible to those who hold them. These will be done under the guidance/correction and motivation from a qualified Nordic Walking and First Aid Trained Instructor.

I don't think the countries are explored or explained very well, but it might give you a jumping off point for young readers. I mean, if they can learn to visually identify the Sydney Opera House (and they don't live in Australia), I think that's a win. Perhaps the book will give them ideas about traveling, which is good. A fascinating and thought-provoking analysis of the divisions between us, how we bridge them, how we reshape the world - and ourselves too. Essential reading.' Cathy Newman, presenter of Channel 4 News and author The penguins are little idiots. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be funny, but I found it annoying. Spaces are on a first-come, first-served basis. If the course is full, it will be necessary to wait for the next course with available spaces. This is a light-hearted session, in which you’ll learn the correct set-up of the poles for you, we’ll provide an overview of the benefits of Nordic Walking, and differences from ordinary walking/hiking, as well as teaching you the technique basics, to get you out trying your first Nordic walk, to see if it's something you might enjoy. This is a FREE session (poles provided) and is designed for those new to Nordic Walking.These sessions also sometimes incorporate exercises designed to improve balance, strength, mobility and general fitness.
