Dear Readers,
This week, because of the great response from last week, we decided to continue the conference MP3 audio package sale. Additionally, we are having a post-conference book sale, which includes titles that were sold out at the conference. We also have two reviews from AERO conference (including Alfie's BGUTI comment) and, as always, news and resource items from around the world of educational alternatives. We hope you enjoy the content.

Post-Conference Book Sale!
| |
Book sales were amazing at this year's AERO conference, maybe the best ever. This may be because we are very selective about what we sell and we are also, sometimes, the first to find and distribute great new education books. Several of these sold out quickly at the AERO conference but we have restocked and can offer these titles to you right now! All orders over $50 receive a free gift (see below). All titles below are on sale!
Sold Out Titles Now Available:
All orders over $50 will receive a complimentary signed copy of AERO director Jerry Mintz's book, No Homework & Recess All Day: How to Have Freedom & Democracy in Education.
After being translated into German, No Homework was recently translated into Hungarian by AERO member Peter Foti!

Due to the overwhelming response we received last week, we've decided to extend our special offer to access MP3s of our entire audio selection from AERO Conference for only $10!

We are in the process of gathering additional audio recording of workshops, so anyone who orders this package will be given access to the new files in the near future. Attendees, please let us know if you have others so we can add them!

AERO Members & Readers Receive a Discount to Attend IDEC: Read Below for More Information
AERO has been intimately involved in the International Democratic Education Conference (IDEC) throughout its twenty-one year history. Director Jerry Mintz participated in the very first conference in Hadera, Israel back in 1993 and has been instrumental in its development since that time. In 2003, AERO hosted IDEC in Troy, NY which had over 600 participants from 25 countries around the world. Inspired by the conversations and workshops taking place that year, we created the first ever AERO conference which was hosted the next year in 2004 and after ten years is still running strong! This year's IDEC, while not organized by AERO, involves many familiar faces. Our former conference director (and current new media coordinator), Isaac Graves is on the core organizing committee, while many AERO member schools, organizations, and individuals will be participating. Jerry Mintz will be offering multiple workshops and AERO will bring its famous alternative education bookstore to the event! It is through our close relationship that we cordially invite you to join us this August, 4-8 in Boulder, Colorado.
 We have arranged special registration options for AERO members and readers: - AERO Members will receive a 10% discount on registration fees. Just write "AERO" on the registration form where it asks how you heard about the conference.
- AERO Readers (all nonmembers) who register for IDEC will receive a complimentary six-month membership to AERO. Just write "AERO" on the registration form where it asks how you heard about the conference.
