Nurturing the Whole Student: Five Dimensions of Teaching and
Learning begins with the assumption that education is at its
best-healthiest, most engaging, and most effective-when it is
holistic. By holistic , the authors mean that the various
dimensions of the teacher and student are honored and nurtured
throughout the education process. These dimensions are organic,
psychodynamic, cultural, academic, and existential. Nurturing the
Whole Student contends that any truly humane educational theory or
practice must celebrate and cultivate these facets of the
student-teacher relationship. In readily-accessible theoretical
terms-as well as in practical suggestions for classroom
application-the authors demonstrate how holistic education is an
antidote to the standardized approaches to education that breed
failure, alienation, and discouragement in the classroom.
Systematically broken down into five thematic chapters, this
teacher's guide will help any educator foster the five dimensions
of teaching and learning.
Therapists Kathleen Burns Kingsbury and Mary Ellen Williams have treated hundreds of people with eating disorders in their many years of practice, from slender seven-year old Madeline who 'feels fat', to Clare, an overwhelmed mother who can only cope with stress by bingeing three times a day.
In Weight Wisdom, they draw on their vast experience to illuminate a clear and practical path to recovery, offering a unique collection of daily affirmations that focus on the irrational beliefs, thoughts, and fears behind eating disordered behaviour. In this powerful guide, Kingsbury and Williams equip readers with simple reflections, vignettes, and everyday analogies that they have successfully used with their own clients to counter destructive feelings and shatter distorted ideas of food and weight. Pithy and positive statements replace compulsive, perfectionist rules with new strategies to cope with blame, guilt, vulnerability, and self-criticism. Concrete activities help people with eating problems get off the scale, get in touch with their feelings, and make friends with their bodies. Written by experienced therapists who understand the needs and fears of people with eating problems, the book is a refreshing guide to lasting change and recovery.

TRIUMPH is an inspiring true-life story of a girl from a small town
who became a world renowned legend. It begins in a time and place
where women had few options and sports were a man's world. As a
child Kay loved playing basketball but like many young women of
that time she anticipated life as a teacher. Through the
encouragement of her parents and principal, she changed her
expectations and raised the bar on what women could accomplish. Kay
defied these limitations to become a successful Basketball coach, a
hall of fame inductee, and an Olympic gold coach. With her many
successes there would be even bigger challenges. Her fiercest
opponent would become her ongoing battle with breast cancer. Coach
Yow faced these trials head on with grace, dignity, and her deep
faith. Kay's love of people, her sense of humor, and her undying
hope were contagious. She believed "When Life Kicks You, Let it
Kick You Forward." This story will inspire you, give hope to you
and let you find the hidden hero within yourself.

Union horse soldiers in the far west
Curiously for a work that is at least in part the regimental
history of a cavalry unit, its author was a woman, Ellen Williams,
who was not only a mere chronicler of the horse soldiers fortunes
but who also campaigned with them as the wife of a bugler of the
regiment. This remarkable camp follower recounts the activities of
the Colorados in combination with her own first hand experiences
which illuminate the text with a unique female perspective. The 2nd
Colorado Cavalry's campaigns during the American Civil War involved
combats with the Confederate Army, guerrillas and the hostile
Indians of the western frontier. Organised in St Louis, Missouri in
late 1863, the regiment was principally put to use as detached
companies working in concert and numbers as the task required. For
example three companies were despatched to Fort Lyon in the
Colorado territory and then to various posts before being assigned
to the protection of the Kansas border region from depredations by
guerrillas which put them perpetually on the firing line until late
1864. Other companies were involved in the scout from Pleasant
Hill, the expedition into Missouri, the scout to Lafayette and
Jackson county and more. The principal engagements of the regiment
against the Confederates were the battles of Camden Point, Second
Lexington, Little Blue River, Second Independence, Byram's Ford,
Westport, Marais des Cygnes, Mine Creek and Second Newtonia. The
regiment then moved to the District of the Upper Arkansas to engage
in operations against hostile Indians around Forts Riley, Zarah,
Ellsworth and Larned. It took part in numerous skirmishes including
Godfrey's Ranch, Pawnee Rock and Plum Butte whilst also protecting
the overland stage route from Denver to Julesburg until September
of 1865.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
