Mindfulness is a wonderful technique to restore tranquillity. There is a growing body of evidence to show that mindfulness has substantial benefits in reducing stress and improving learning retention in the school and university environment.The Misted Mirror is one of few books that provides readers with not only an insight into the nature of mindfulness in the context of psychotherapy, but also takes the practice and philosophy of mindfulness into the learning environment and the realm of holistic education. While the target readership are students between 13-20 years of age, it is highlighted that mindfulness practice is equally important to both teachers and students.Unlike other books on the subject, The Misted Mirror adopts a purely secular slant and avoids the promotion of any religious content whatsoever. With his background knowledge of education theory, the author has explained very clearly the application of mindfulness principles to classroom learning, managing learning stress and improving teaching approaches, with appropriate examples. In one of the chapters, he has even expounded a personal experience of how contemplative learning is conducted in an outdoor excursion using mindfulness principles.What is perhaps most amazing with this book is the series of guided imagery scripts and practical art exercises provided in the appendix. These are based on the author's own experience of combining mindfulness with art expression in supporting hospital patients emotionally. Furthermore, a college teacher has kindly contributed the content of her own mindfulness-based art program to enrich the appendix. Parents and other teachers will most likely find these exercises invaluable in helping their own children.

Throughout the many centuries of human history, each successive generation has accumulated its own collection of knowledge, experience, and wisdom to be passed on to the next. "Two Chairs and a Box of Tissues" is author Greg Delaney’s vision of how the "baton of knowledge" is being passed from generation to generation in the sometimes misunderstood and mischaracterized profession of mental health and substance use disorder counseling. Delaney draws upon decades of his own training and experience as a counselor as well as over fifteen years of educating and training addiction counselors in order to tell the tale of Kathleen, just beginning her career, and Greg, nearing retirement after four decades of helping others.Kathleen is a graduate student in mental health counseling who needs help with her thesis. Clinical research related to the topic of Kathleen’s dissertation is difficult to find. Frustrated, she initiates a series of interviews with Greg, an experienced counselor and educator, to examine her strongly held beliefs about the importance of the counselor’s personal health and wellness to the success of the therapeutic process. Kathleen hopes that these discussions will give her examples in support of her thesis.Even though her initial expectation was simple answers to a number of interview questions, Kathleen soon realizes that Greg seems willing to share with her in depth and detailed information about his career. She senses that this is a unique opportunity to get a true "behind the scenes" learning experience from someone who has almost forty.

Career pathways (CP) has gained prominence as a strategy to ensure that high school students and displaced workers acquire the college and career readiness skills needed in a fast-changing, globalized economy. In an effort to ensure future success for CP, Stephen F. Hamilton examines the School-to-Work (STW) movement of the 1980s and 1990s and explores how the lessons learned from that campaign's demise can pave the way for a CP program that endures and serves the most deserving.<BR><BR> Hamilton recounts the history and trajectory of STW and CP and outlines the components of a career pathways program that can stand the test of time. He recommends a plan that includes work-based learning, dual enrollment opportunities, coordination at the K-12 and post-secondary levels, private and public funding, and above all, the creation of a CP infrastructure or "system" rather than a loose collection of programs that characterized the earlier STW initiative.<BR><BR> Guided by the latest research, Career Pathway for All Youth features vignettes and interviews with educators, leaders, and career-to-work industry veterans, including High-Tech High, YouthBuild, Linked Learning, CareerWise Colorado, and Apprenticeship Carolina. Showcasing CP's many guises and possibilities, the book should help educators learn from the past and secure a more equitable future.

In Home Inspector Confidential, Matt Fellman provides twenty years' worth of authentic insider knowledge and practical know-how from his career as a home inspector-an industry that is more complex, and more rewarding, than most people know.<BR>Not that it's always been easy. In honest, lighthearted, and often humorous prose, Fellman describes being screamed at by sellers, buyers, real estate agents, and contractors; being bitten by dogs; knocking open beehives; trying to avoid dead rats in thousands of crawl spaces. Oh, and he's been sued a few times, too.<BR>But Fellman shows how all the hard work and unpleasantness are ultimately worth it. Aside from the financial reward and interesting technical challenges, there is the deep satisfaction that comes from helping people find not just a house, but a home-a place where, as Fellman points out, they will likely experience "births, deaths, marriages, graduations, and all kinds of other life-changing events."<BR>Essential reading for anyone considering a career in this field-but others will enjoy it too.
