For the first time in Australia's history, women economists lead three of our top economic institutions - Treasury, the Reserve Bank and the Productivity Commission. Power in Numbers celebrates their achievements, profiling Jenny Wilkinson, Michele Bullock and Danielle Wood alongside thirteen trailblazing women who have shaped Australian economics over the past two centuries. Drawing on interviews and historical research, economists Catie Bradbear and Melissa Bray explore the pivotal moments, the strengths and challenges that have defined these women's careers, including their sliding door moments, their superpowers and their struggles. Shared themes emerge, including the influence of great teachers, the importance of mentors and networks, and the persistence required to succeed in a profession where women have long been underrepresented. Against the odds these women have emerged as leaders, using economics as a tool to improve lives and build a better society.

Many students today struggle with stress and anxiety caused by increasing academic, social, and extracurricular demands. This book provides school psychologists, counselors, teachers, and other school faculty with guidelines for improving students amp rsquo mental and physical well‑being, which in turn leads to improved academic performance and happier, better-adjusted students. Chapter authors review important considerations related to the benefits, limitations, and potential risks associated with implementing mind amp ndash body interventions in school settings. In addition to general guidelines, they review specific practices in depth-including yoga, mindfulness, physical activity, and hypnosis-presenting a three-tiered model for delivering services universally, with targeted groups, and with individuals. They also discuss how these and other interventions can be used to target specific issues such as eating disorders, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and trauma. Illustrative case studies demonstrate how to implement these interventions in realistic scenarios. Collaboration between mental health professionals, faculty, and parents is emphasized throughout the volume so that students amp rsquo mind amp ndash body health is addressed both at school and at home.
