Churchill Livingstone, 1999

Excellent work!
This book has become one of the foremost referenced text for healthcare professionals on the causes of low back pain. It helps the reader to understand "Structural Findings" on x-rays/MRIs and to correlate those with "Functional Findings" of restricted flexibility and soft tissue pain. This book is widely accepted by Doctors of Chiropractic and other physical medicine and rehabilitation ...

Passion For Peace: The Social Essays

3 reviews
Thomas Merton

Crossroad Classic, 1997

Working for Social Justice
A great book that lists many essays of Merton during the 60's, including some that orignally appeared in the Catholic Worker Newspaper. Many on non-violence, others on important figures of that time. I especially enjoyed the piece on Malcolm X.

William H Thomas

Vanderwyk & Burnham, 1999

Leading the way to the Revolution
This book uses Dr. Thomas's talent for storytelling to advance his ideas. The Eden Alternative is a way for Long Term Care facilities to be a real home to the people that live there, a place families will enjoy visiting. The changes are very low tech and save money in the long run. The environment these changes create is not only wonderful for the people who LIVE there, but for the staff as ...

Vanderwyk & Burnham, 2006

Rethinking elder care
Reviewed by Joe Graham for Reader Views (1/07) Most of us have visited nursing homes and have been sad and depressed at the frail, unhappy people that we have seen there. We feel bad for the people who are in the home whether they are friends or family and we hope that a similar fate will not be part of our future. Thomas, in "In the Arms of Elders," attempts to change the way we think about ...

Battleships: Allied Battleships of World War II (Battleships)

Robert O. Dulin Jr., William H. Garzke Jr.

Naval Institute Press, 1980

Technical Analysis par excellence
Mssrs Garzke and Dulin have written a trio of detailed, comprehensive and objective analyses of the battleships of the World War II era (designs past 1930). In this volume, they analyze the capital ships of the Netherlands, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Overall, they rate the units of France as the best in the 35,000 treaty class due the Richelieu's fine protection and speed ...

Richard D Irwin, 1991

Advanced Accounting
This is a popular university textbook. I know this because I called several universities for recommendations before purchasing. I've used this book as a professional reference. It is very current on recent pronouncements. The book is well organized, has good examples and it includes many "real world" examples as well

The Inner Experience: Notes on Contemplation

7 reviews
Thomas Merton, William H. Shannon

HarperOne, 2003

don't walk by
Scorned by religious literalists and always misappropriated by mindless innovators, Merton truly is the most Catholic man, the most ardent Monk, and The Inner Experience his subtlest and deepest book. In a towering 150 pages, an intellectual presence vast and keen enough to subserve an inexhaustible faith is at work renewing Christian thought, opening doors and finding the authentic where ...

William H. Thomas

Vanderwyk & Burnham, 1996

An Ombudsman's point of view
As a Regional Ombudsman, responsible for a large county in N. CA, I used this book to inspire people to form a "Family Council" in a sample nursing home and to lobby for the changes that Thomas recommends. The home adopted several of the changes and they transformed the home, once known as the worst in the county into the best. Several people emerged from years of depression, others simply ...

Stedman's Medical Dictionary

Richard H. Williams, Thomas Lathrop Stedman

Williams & Wilkins, 1990

Must have Doctors
As both doctor and founder of a EchoScribe Inc, a leading internet based medical transcription company, (www.echoscribe.com) I must recomend Stedmans as the dictionary that all physicians must own. There is also the PDA version that is also a good carry. It not only provides a quick reference, but in writing medical letters, and transcribing documents, this book is a "medical must have."

The Mighty Santa Fe

William H. Hooks

Trumpet Club, 1993

Boys and their trains
My 5 year old son absolutely loved this book. It reminded me of him, always having to bring his trains everywhere and his new obsession with the Santa Fe Railroad. Such a beautiful story. I only wish I had known about this book around Christmas time. Thank you Mr. Hooks.

Colorado 1870-2000 Revisited: The History Behind the Images

26 reviews
Thomas J. Noel, William H. Jackson

Westcliffe Publishers, 2001

Clearing Up the Confusion and Getting the Photo Details
There appears to be some confusion as all of the reviews of the original "Colorado 1870-2000" big book are credited to this, the paperback "Colorado 1870-2000 Revisited: The History Behind the Images". This book is a companion book to the original. It takes each photo set from the big book and goes into detail about the location, changes, and how Fielder acquired each photo. These are the ...

This text represents a remarkable contribution to spinal care. The authors provide an advanced perspective related to back pain that is comprehensive and relevant. It is a terrific addition to my libary.

What Are Old People For?: How Elders Will Save the World

William H. Thomas

Vanderwyk & Burnham, 2007

Author's Note
The first sentence of Dr. Spock's "Baby And Child Care" does a good job of summarizing my attitude toward aging and longevity: "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do." We are immersed in a shimmering sea of conflicting ideas and attitudes about aging and it is not surpirsing that people's feelings about aging can be complicated and conflicting. It is for this reason that I have done ...

Abingdon Press, 1996

Smart, readable, interesting
Published in 1996, when everyone had a job, this book is even more pertinent in times when so many are looking for work. A thoughtful reevaluation of the role of work in our lives.

NAB Engineering Handbook, Tenth Edition

Graham A. Jones, David H. Layer, ...

Focal Press, 2007

Tenth Edition NAB Engineering Handbook
If you're in the technical side of broadcasting, this handbook should be considered as a core text for your library. It's probably the most comprehensive, up to date, and technically accurate handbook that you can buy. Only authors with a proven track record and many years of experience are invited by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) to be authors, and those submissions are ...

Always Reforming: Explorations in Systematic Theology

1 review
Gerald Bray, Stephen Williams, ...

IVP Academic, 2007

The Blessedness Of Theological Deliberations
I recommend it in all confidence. Flawless theology. The authors, wise theologians in the Reformed tradition, have surely touched on an epistemological truth: they should always seek to uphold the normative nature of truth, yet as theologians, they need to be able to explore and develop Reformed assertions within parameters respectful of their commitment to Reformational principles. To this ...

The Hidden Ground of Love: The Letters of Thomas Merton on Religious Experience and Social Concerns

1 review
Thomas Merton

Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1986

Love is Merton's Hidden Ground
What is so amazing about this volume is that it covers only part of Thomas Merton's letters. These are on Religious Experience and Social Concerns. Merton was truly all things to all people, but through it all, he is still completely himself. His unique voice is evident in all his correspondence where he is by turns serious and funny, kind and generous. Some of these letters read like ...

Cold War Letters

1 review
Thomas Merton

Orbis Books, 2006

Like a truly prophetic Biblical voice, Father Merton calls us back to God more powerfully now than forty five years ago.
Originally this was intended by Father Merton over forty five years ago to be a collection for private circulation only of his private letters written around the time of the Nuclear Missile Crisis and Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) nuclear policy, gathered in one quarter this amount. At that time Father Merton was absurdly under orders from the Trappist office in Rome not to write about war ...

Robert's Rules of Order (Newly Revised, 10th Edition)

Henry M. Robert III, William J. Evans, ...

Da Capo Press, 2000

Parly Pro Which Everyone Should Know
As a source, Robert's Rules is the definitive answer to all things parliamentary procedure. I have used this guide in all the work that I have done in the competitive realm of congressional debate. With a competitive use of these rules for academic purposes, changes have to be made to allow for a fuller use for debating teams and individuals. But when any question arises over what certain steps ...
