Book Description
The exercises by Audrey McAllen as published in The Extra Lesson are not just an example of what an individual teacher can develop when confronted with the needs of her students. Audrey developed an archetypal concept, deeply rooted in Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy, which goes far beyond the level of the individual. The exercises address the spirit forces within the body and integrate the movements of the students into the universal movements of the earth. Practicing the exercises oneself will reveal their effectiveness; studying the concepts from which these exercises are developed will deepen our understanding of why they work.

Book Description
Interweaves the perspectives of school counseling educators with those of practitioners in the trenches This foundational text for school counselors-in-training is the only book to have chapters coauthored by counselor educators and practicing school counselors. It delivers easily accessible information based on a scholarly foundation of best practice recommendations from the field and research-based, data-driven content, including school counseling interventions, issues for professional practice, and a toolkit of helpful resources. The book is distinguished by its in-depth examination of the day-to-day role of the school counselor in elementary, middle, and high school settings—often a different reality than the recommended practice by the ASCA National Model—along with a commitment to cultural competency and social justice throughout. Providing a platform for the contributions of historically underrepresented voices, the text links theory and practice to provide readers with tangible and concrete strategies to implement. It covers the nuts and bolts of school counseling interventions including individual, group, classroom guidance, and crisis intervention. Each chapter begins with a K-12 student testimony to highlight the impact of school counseling interventions and to promote a better understanding of student needs. This strengths-based text also examines a variety of contemporary topics that strongly affect students, including an entire chapter on LGBTQIA+ issues and coverage of Anti-Racism policies and Virtual Counseling. Additional features include Voices from the Field and Practical Applications that demonstrate real scenarios in practice.

Book Description
With over a million copies sold, Economics in One Lesson is an essential guide to the basics of economic theory. A fundamental influence on modern libertarianism, Hazlitt defends capitalism and the free market from economic myths that persist to this day. Considered among the leading economic thinkers of the “Austrian School,” which includes Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich (F.A.) Hayek, and others, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), was a libertarian philosopher, an economist, and a journalist. He was the founding vice-president of the Foundation for Economic Education and an early editor of The Freeman magazine, an influential libertarian publication. Hazlitt wrote Economics in One Lesson, his seminal work, in 1946. Concise and instructive, it is also deceptively prescient and far-reaching in its efforts to dissemble economic fallacies that are so prevalent they have almost become a new orthodoxy. Economic commentators across the political spectrum have credited Hazlitt with foreseeing the collapse of the global economy which occurred more than 50 years after the initial publication of Economics in One Lesson. Hazlitt’s focus on non-governmental solutions, strong — and strongly reasoned — anti-deficit position, and general emphasis on free markets, economic liberty of individuals, and the dangers of government intervention make Economics in One Lesson every bit as relevant and valuable today as it has been since publication.
