Nick Drummond and psychologist & co-author Mats Edin talk about their book "Order and structure in the school: one step on the path to dynamic harmony in the classroom" (Ordning och reda i skolan - ett steg på vägen mot dynamik och harmoni i klassrummet). The book was published in Sweden in May 2006, with the authors planning on having an updated version published in English as well as Dutch and Danish.

Mats and Nick give an overview of the book and describe the use of Clare Graves model Spiral Dynamics, Kohlberg and Gilligan's model of moral development as well as using Developmental Scales as a tool for objectively describing levels of maturity.

The book also introduces an enlightenment or absolute perspective to education. This makes development and transformation from chaos to "dynamic harmony" an immediate possibility in every classroom and school. This is done using the model "It's your choice!" (see http://www.nordicintegral.com/education.html) which is based on the teachings of Andrew Cohen.
