Too often school counselors find themselves stuck when they try to improve students' social and emotional health, or they react to problems that present themselves rather than preventing those problems before they happen. This exciting new book by leaders in the field of school counseling provides school counselors with:

• Characteristics and abilities of learners that promote effective academic learning and postsecondary success
• Understanding of how to intentionally develop these characteristics and skills in all learners through developmental programming.

The authors take a fresh new look at the relationships between school counseling standards, school counseling research, and the best research on student success. Achieving Excellence in School Counseling provides a framework for understanding the role of 4 constructs that lead to student excellence: motivation, self-direction, self-knowledge, and relationships. The book focuses on student achievement and the key processes involved when school counselors help students grow and achieve. Key processes include defining standard and competency statements for student excellence, delivering a rigorous curriculum based on the standards and competencies, assessing student progress toward standards, and implementing a construct-based school counseling program.

Strippers and Flippers . . . or a New Positive Force Helping to Drive the Economy . . .
 
The untold story of Steve Schwarzman and Blackstone, the financier and his financial powerhouse that avoided the self-destructive tendencies of Wall Street. David Carey and John Morris show how Blackstone (and other private equity firms) transformed themselves from gamblers, hostile-takeover artists, and 'barbarians at the gate' into disciplined, risk-conscious investors.
The financial establishment—banks and investment bankers such as Citigroup, Bear Stearns, Lehman, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley—were the cowboys, recklessly assuming risks, leveraging up to astronomical levels and driving the economy to the brink of disaster.
Blackstone is now ready to break out once again since it is sitting on billions of dollars
that can be invested at a time when the market is starved for capital.
 
The story of a financial revolution—the greatest untold success story on Wall Street: Not only have Blackstone and a small coterie of competitors wrested control of corporations around the globe, but they have emerged as a major force on Wall Street, challenging the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for dominance.
 
Great human interest story: How Blackstone went from two guys and a secretary to being one of Wall Street's most powerful institutions, far outgrowing its much older rival KKR; and how Steve Schwarzman, with a pay packet one year of $398 million and $684 million from the Blackstone IPO, came to epitomize the spectacular new financial fortunes amassed in the 2000s.
 
Controversial: Analyzes the controversies surrounding Blackstone and whether it and other private equity firms suck the lifeblood out of companies to enrich themselves—or whether they are a force that helps make the companies they own stronger and thereby better competitors.
 
The story by two insiders with access: Insightful and hard-hitting, filled with never-before-revealed details about the workings of a heretofore secretive company that was the personal fiefdom of Schwarzman and Peter Peterson.
 
Forward-looking: How Blackstone and private equity will drive the economy and provide a model for how financing will work.

For the first time in one hardcover volume—three classic novels by the author of Nineteen Eighty- Four and Animal Farm.

The lushly descriptive and tragic Burmese Days, a devastating indictment of British colonial rule, is based on Orwell’s own experience while serving in the Indian Imperial Police. His beloved satirical classic, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, features a young idealist whose attempt to rebel against middle-class respectability—by working in a bookshop and trying to be a writer—goes terribly and comically awry. The hero of Coming Up for Air tries to escape the bleakness of suburbia by returning to the idyllic rural village of his childhood—only to find that the simpler England he remembers so nostalgically is gone forever.

These three novels share Orwell’s unsparing vision of the dark side of modern capitalist society in combination with his comic brilliance and his unerring compassion for humanity.
