Asperger Syndrome - Practical Strategies for the Classroom: A Teacher's Guide
We have bought this simple, practical, straight-forward guide for each of our son's teachers (kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade). Each teacher has thanked us repeatedly, as the book is so easy to use as a reference tool. You simply look up the unusual behavior, read the brief text explaining why the child with Asperger syndrome does this, and read the practical solutions and strategies for ...

Macmillan Pub Co, 1975

Wonderful Glimpse!
I read her "Front Row at the White House" first and expected to get the same information, just not as many presidents. But in her first book, Ms. Thomas included more information than in her second book. You've always read about the presidents, by reading this book you get a 'behind the scenes' glimpse into their lives and how the reporters do their jobs.

History of Swimming Pool
This is the second in an anticipated series of four unorthodox books by a Dutch historian on architecture in relation to the classical elements: sky, water, fire and earth. The first volume, about the metaphysics of the American skyscraper, was published in 1988; while the third, which will focus on buildings destroyed by fire, is in preparation. This second volume, which is illustrated by ...

Stedman's Ob-Gyn Words: Including Neonatology, Pediatrics, Genetics (Stedman's Word Book Series)

2 reviews

Williams & Wilkins, 1995

This book is a must-have for the OB/GYN transcriptionist.
I have recently started working as a medical transcriptionist for several OB/GYNs. This book has been invaluable to me (and would be to anyone new to the field) because it not only lists each word, as a medical dictionary does, but also lists phrases as you would hear them, and matches words that would follow or preceed other words. When the doctor mumbles "lichen ___" I can just look up ...

Changing the Face of Power
Melina Mara takes us far beyond the obvious things we know about these women. She has penetrated their lives with her camera in a powerful and often surprising way. It is important subject matter as the face of congress changes. Melina does a wonderful job letting us know what these people do and who they are.

Spiritually challenging and very 'real.'
Here - in a book that young adult readers will find remarkably beckoning - one will discover not only an intelectually stimulating, but a spiritually-challenging combination of insight, wit, and wisdom which challenges, amuses and provides - with remarkable impact - realistic, meaningful connections to the contemporary life experiences of the contemporary young adult.

Signet translation much better than others
I bought this Signet translation by Keith Baines after a frustrating attempt to read the Modern Library translation by William Caxton. Caxton's dry, stilted rendition left me hungry for a cleaner, more modern version. Here's a prime example from page 1: Caxton: "It befell in the days of Uther Pendragon, when he was king of all England, and so reigned, that there was a mighty duke in ...

My three year old enjoys reading this book, and he is learning what many of the things in the church are called. The book taught him about the stations of the cross, the lector, the tabernacle, etc. I bought four more copies for his cousins!

Wonderful for my kids!
I was looking for some pictures that my kids could relate to and have something to look at and picture while we pray the rosary. I was hoping for something a little smaller - maybe 8x10 but these are great!

Time Life UK, 2001

A Great Place to Start
If you have ever wondered why some of your friends are vegetarian, and why this movement is growing so fast, or why people recyle, etc. this is a great place to find the answers. A very inviting reading on why these things are important, how you can get involved-and might I add-feel "normal" about it. Toss off keeping up with the spending habits and overconsumerism of your friends, and get ...

The Woman Who Wouldn't Talk

Carroll & Graf Publishers, 2002

Emotional catharsis
I was disposed to like Whitewater figure and Kenneth Starr nemesis Susan McDougal before I ever read her book and have long felt that a justice system which rewards those who tell prosecutors what they want to hear (immunity, plea bargaining) and penalizes those who insist on their innocence or their right to a jury trial, is flawed. So I'm not exactly unbiased. But who is? The first part of ...

THE #1 BEST book to start out with!
I went to the library and tried every book they have on the topic... we keep renewing this one, so now I'm going to buy it. This is like all the other books combined... it has everything! The diagrams of steps and positions, in adition to the basic first five, are extensive and well-organized into chapters on Exercises at the Barre, Centre Work, Jumps and Travelling Steps... rounding off with ...

This was truely created through a mother's pure love for her children. Richard Paul Evans of the "Christmas Box" puts it best when he wrote in ...

Oval Books, 1999

I laughed till I cried - the second time I read this..
After 2 years in Denmark this book still managed to provide insights into the Danes. I find myself quoting it when trying to discribe Denmark to others ... and even gave it to my Danish boyfriend to give him perspectives on what others see as 'Danish'. His constant 'you mean other people dont do that' where only interupted by his laughter. What is more it has been used as a textbook in a ...

Helen Marx Books, 2000

Stalking the Soul
Before reading Stalking the Soul, I read two other books on emotional abuse (No Visible Wounds by Miller, and Why Does He Do That? by Bancroft). Each book is a jewel, a long drink of water in a dry parch of land. My favorite part of this book is that it has gifted me with a visceral understanding of what was going on during all those years of so-called "conversations" between abuser and victim. ...
