  The Inside Scoop on Eating Disorder Recovery is a fresh, smart, how-to book that helps people with eating disorders to heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and ultimately themselves. 
   
   
   
  Written from the perspective of two eating disorder therapists, both of whom are recovered from their own eating disorders, this book uses humor, personal narratives, and research-proven techniques to offer specific actionable guidelines on how to reclaim one's life from an eating disorder. The authors explain the difference between dieting and eating disorders, break down the stages of recovery, and provide tips on how to thrive in each stage. The book provides powerful myth-busting on topics that have historically not been addressed in eating disorder recovery books, such as clean eating and orthorexia, exercising in recovery, and fat positivity. Tangible exercises at the end of each chapter provide listeners with advice and tips on implementing this approach to recovery in their day-to-day lives. 
   
   
   
  The humorous and down-to-earth tone of the book creates an authentic and genuine feel that leaves those who struggle with chronic dieting, eating disorders, and negative body image feeling connected and heard.

  The Firm Market and the Law

  R.H. Coase

  Few other economists have been read and cited as often as R.H. Coase has been, even though, as he admits, “most economists have a different way of looking at economic problems and do not share my conception of the nature of our subject.” Coase’s particular interest has been that part of economic theory that deals with firms, industries, and markets—what is known as price theory or microeconomics. He has always urged his fellow economists to examine the foundations on which their theory exists, and this volume collects some of his classic articles probing those very foundations. “The Nature of the Firm” (1937) introduced the then-revolutionary concept of transaction costs into economic theory. “The Problem of Social Cost” (1960) further developed this concept, emphasizing the effect of the law on the working of the economic system. The remaining papers and new introductory essay clarify and extend Coarse’s arguments and address his critics.“These essays bear rereading. Coase’s careful attention to actual institutions not only offers deep insight into economics but also provides the best argument for Coase’s methodological position. The clarity of the exposition and the elegance of the style also make them a pleasure to read and a model worthy of emulation.”—Lewis A. Kornhauser, Journal of Economic LiteratureRonald H. Coase was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1991.
