amazing, magical story
I have read this book to my fourth grade class for the past two years. They are instantly drawn to Hana, Fumiko, and the story of the Holocaust. The minute they see the picture of Hana's Suitcase, they begin to ask all the questions that the children in Japan asked of Fumiko. They always want me to continue reading and they are so eager to find out about her story. This book has inspired so ...

Best Way in the World for a Woman to Make Money

The best book on selling ever
I took a one-day seminar with David King in 1982 which totally changed the way I thought about selling, and his book will revolutionize your thinking as well. But it was David's own change in thinking that was the most profound, as he reveals in his book. A business to business sales manager, David reluctantly hired his first woman, essentially threw her out there with no training and little ...

Replays: Using Play to Enhance Emotional And Behavioral Development for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2007

Systematic Desensitization Meets Pretending
I'm a fan of any book that opens with a quote from Jerry of Ben and Jerry's ("If it's not fun, why do it?"). I'll officially say he's my second favorite hippie-Jerry. This is a nice guide to a specific technique of play therapy for enhancing emotional and behavioral development for children on the PDD spectrum. The idea is to use repetitive play as a symbolic reenactment of events associated ...

The Architectural Pattern Book: A Tool for Building Great Neighborhoods

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Not just a house, design a whole neighborhood
Most of us like architectural books because we think, or possibly just dream of building our own ULTIMATE house. Here, however, is a book not on building a house, but on building an entire neighborhood. It starts with a bit of history, the pattern books written in roman times. It brings them up to date with a survey of several American neighborhoods dating from turn of the century times. And ...

MCSE Lab Manual for SQL Server 2000 Administration

A good Lab Book, but not even close for test-prep
Let's say that they gave it a try. Labs are fine, just less than about 20 typos. Just like all other test-prep books, this one also have copied a lot out of MOCs and since MOC did not help with the certfiication, at least for SQL exams, this book did not come out good either. Even Sybex, Microsoft Press seem to follow the same trend. I gave it four stars, because labs are at least ordered and ...

Real Help for Real Parents
As a parent, I've read lots of parenting books. Most of them seem to tell you what to think and what to do, and often give advice that doesn't really fit for me or my children. But this one encourages you to think for yourself, and to really observe and understand your child, to figure out what works with him or her. I love it. Reading it is like having a chance to talk things over with ...

Keeping Life Simple: 300 Tips & Ideas

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2005

A wealth of information on frugality
Great book. I recommend it to anyone already into frugality. Not so good as a starter with too much emphasize on actions and a little bit of a lack of background stuff. But in connection with a more philosophical book on frugality for sure a very good choice

A Survival Guide for Paralegals: Tips from the Trenches

Alan Gelb, Karen Levine

Delmar Cengage Learning, 2003

short book, quick read
This book was okay. It did not live up to my expectations however. The "tips" were general and not things you don't already know. It's not worth the money, but maybe check it out from the library. Some information was usefeul.

Great resource I will refer to over the years.
This is a book I will refer to again and again. Beware--the title of this book is misleading--it doesn't talk about what I would consider real "trouble" in school. I think it more accurately describes what to EXPECT in school! I think just about every parent will find their child in one of the situations described at one time or another--especially parents of more than one child. The book ...
