Exactly the kind of beautifully illustrated shenanigans I've come to expect from Adam Rex's collaborations and solo works.

Punished by Rewards: Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes | Alfie Kohn

#Alphabetgame #LetterP @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

P brought a difficult choice, but I decided to feature Punished by Rewards because it was such a game changer for me. It made me rethink my classroom practices for motivation and led to fascinating discussions with teacher trainees. Great book.

Honourable mentions:
🔸Pride and Prejudice
🔸and Persuasion by Jane Austen
🔸The Pendragon Legend by Antal Szerb

Always good. Hephaistos‘ story is also Prometheus‘ story, and it raises lots of interesting questions on both fronts.

Caffeinated_Reader Dang. It‘s sad to think how public executions use to be. Like a free for all showing. This was beautifully written and gave voice to even a badly broken and beaten fist. I love the language and the emotion it conveyed. Not a bad little read! 5y

3.5/5 Stars!

This book was so interesting. In between travel and binging Outlander, I was able to invest into a story about the morally gray world of vigilante justice.

There are a few things I wish could change about this book, but it was still so entertaining. As soon as I hit page 250, I could not put it down!

Hamlyn History of Punishment and Torture | Karen Farrington

DS9 4.19 #HardTime Let's torture Miles O'Brien again! A favourite of mine, a gut wrenching episode on the real trauma of incarceration, but it sadly stands alone and is never heard of again. Depression should not solved in between episodes. Fear not, though, he'll be tortured again soon. This epi, along with TNG's Chain of Command, are perfect examples to teach how torture affects humans. #startreksummerjune

Megabooks Chain of Command was very powerful, too, I agree. Both the DS9 episode and the TNG one are hard for me to rewatch. 5y

tournevis @Megabooks I'd be worries if you found them easy to watch. 5y
