For Teachers and Parents

Take Time	Movement exercises for parents, teachers and therapists of children with difficulties in speaking, reading, writing and spelling.
The Left-hander's Handbook	The guide for parents and teachers to help left-handed children succeed in a right-handed world.

Readers
Stories for the Festivals of the Year	This book will be particularly appreciated by children aged six to nine years. At this age, children relate easily to the pictorial language of fairy tales and legends where both human and supernatural beings are closely connected. Irene Johanson is much at home in the world of these images and has retold some major events of Christ's life with this approach.
The Eden Mission	The Eden Mission brings the real live world of conservation and the fight to save the planet to a whole new audience.

General Interest

shaping the flame	shaping the flame is a unique publication – inspired by the artistry that is central to life in Camphill communities in which co-workers live and work alongside people with learning difficulties.
THE WELL-TROD STAGE	The Well-Trod Stage of the Kenton Theatre Henley-on-Thames – with a foreword by Boris Johnson MP and a message from Kate Winslet.

For Eurythmists
Eurythmy	Produced with the Eurythmy Association in Great Britain, this title provides a colourful introduction to an art form gaining in popularity in many contexts around the world.
Rests & Repetitions in Music	For eurythmists, the importance of the 'rest' – the absence of sound – and its position between and relationships to the sounds before and after is fundamental. So, too, is the effect of repetition. This book is a useful analytical tool for those training or already working as eurythmists.
The Human Being as Music	Lea van der Pals was very much involved in the founding of eurythmy. The Human Being as Music reflects her extensive experience as teacher and is specifically aimed at students of eurythmy. It assumes some prior knowledge of the subject.
