The second edition of this source book contains essays and annotations on a number of issues related to multicultural education. The authors define multicultural education as a process-oriented creation of learning experiences that foster an awareness of, respect for, and enjoyment of the diversity of our society and world. Inherent in this definition of multicultural education is a commitment to create a more just and equitable society for all people. This book, then, offers suggestions relevant to the teaching of all children, all teaching and curricular decisions, and every aspect of educational policy.
Never has our culture been more aware of personal and global health hazards, from both within and without. While most people may feel some anxiety in this regard, some have an unbearable sense of dread that prevents them from functioning. Chronic health anxiety—heightened fears of illness, disease, and death—is a central feature of hypochondriasis, of course, but can also present as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and other diagnoses. Treating Health Anxiety offers the professional reader not only an understanding of this condition, but also an easily implemented cognitive behavioral program for reducing fear of illness, overcoming fear of death, and getting more enjoyment from life, including: -Step-by-step coverage of the assessment process and therapy sessions -Client worksheets and self-monitoring forms -Specific guidelines for treating health anxiety in children and the elderly -Strategies for handling impasses and setbacks -Up-to-date guide to pharmacotherapy for health anxiety. As media attention to health issues increases, client fears of illness won’t go away any time soon. Treating Health Anxiety gives prescribing and non-prescribing clinicians (as well as the counselors and social workers who encounter the problem) the tools to reduce both the fears and the medical costs that so often accompany them.

Unpopular, shy, and easily led astray, sixteen-year-old Marilyn Martin has problems that are only getting worse. Growing up in a tiny town in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, she's been sheltered and a victim of neglect, abuse, and bullying. She believed the Summer of 1975 would bring more of the same cruelty. She was wrong. As Marilyn is dealing with her problems, trying to overcome all her hardships, a seven-year-old little girl vanishes. Lindsay Vernon. A girl who was also neglected and her abuse ignored by the town. A girl Marilyn identifies with, and one she'd like to rescue. One day, two months later, when everyone had given up looking for the missing girl, a strange car with New York plates comes to town. To Marilyn, this doesn't seem eventful, but little does she know that its appearance has already set in motion a series of events that will lead her to the truth. She'll discover herself and what happened to Lindsay Vernon. And neither Marilyn, nor those around her, will ever be the same again. The Girl Who Walked in Shadows is a dark, character-driven tale for mature readers.
