Embracing Autism: Connecting and Communicating with Children in the Autism Spectrum

6 reviews

Jossey-Bass, 2008

Fantastic!
Embracing Autism, by Robert Parish and Friends, is a fantastic read. As an adult sibling of a brother with autism there are many stories and emotions in this book which I can relate to. I found myself laughing and crying within the same story. I am so pleased that there is a book which presents different points of views and levels of autism. I would highly recommend this book.

Clean-Cut stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood
It seems James Parish churns out far too many books. However, his series of books dealing with films and stars of the Golden period of Hollywood are absolutely indispensible for movie buffs. Anyone old enough to remember the old (now defunct) film magazine, ''Films in Review'', will recall the magazine's monthly career article on stars which covered their films in detail. The article was ...

Great guide to tough guys of classic Hollywood.
This book is a great resource on tough guy actors who aren't as well known as Bogart. Has sections on Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Edward G. Robinson, Robert Ryan, and Paul Muni. Grab a copy if you can find it!

The Hollywood Book of Breakups

The Encyclopedia of Breakups
James Robert Parish has always had the ability to cut right through the froo-froo icing and get right to cake. That's why so many of his books are on my shelf. With this one, I have to start a new shelf. He packs in a lot of information: mini bios of all the players, what brought them together and the circumstances that drove them apart. He brings each era alive, mentioning timely rumors and ...

Whitney Houston: The Biography

James Robert Parish

Aurum Press, 2003

Just when you think you know it all
Whitney Houston is rarely out of the tabloids, so it is tempting to think one knows all there is to know about her. Leave it to Mr. Parish to get beyond the headlines with a fascinating look at this major talent. It is a well-researched look at Whitney Houston, her family (esp mother Cissy) and an era of pop music in which she came of age. From the projects to mansions we follow every step of ...

Arlington House, 1971

Essential reference work from one of the most prolific writers on Hollywood currently working
James Robert Parish is the only writer I can think of, off the top of my head, who's more prolific than alternate-history author Harry Turtledove. I've lost count of how many books he's written, but I feel certain I have about a dozen of his titles in my library, and I also feel certain I can give all of them my strong recommendation, including this one. _The Fox Girls_ is one of about half ...

Excellent technical field manual for novice and professional
I spent the summer 1998 field season working in the Glacier National Park, Montana area on the Greater Glacier Bear DNA Project. Pursuant to our study we were required to analyze Grizzly bear habitat and plant species identification played a key role in the succes of our field work. This book was an invaluable field companion. It functioned as both a key, and reference manual. There was not ...
