Joanne Stern
Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2009
parenting children with ADD and Learning Disabilities
Dr. Stern's book is a MUST-READ for parents of ADD/LD children. These kids can push you to your limits, create havoc, if not challenging moment, in the home, and can push normally patient parents into anger, frustration and impatience. Under these circumstances it's easy for the parent/child relationship to suffer and ultimately be irreparably broken. Dr. Stern's premise is that a loving, ...

Pride's Challenge (Thoroughbred Series #9)34 reviews
Joanna Campbell
HarperCollins, 1994
Thoroughbred's Challenge -- Save the Series!
I first read Pride's Challenge when I was in second grade. I bought it at a book fair because it had a horse on the cover and reading about a sixteen-year-old sounded glamorous and exciting. Well, I read the book cover-to-cover more times than I can count; I can even still recite the majority of the first chapter (and, bizarrely enough, Joanna Campbell's bio) by heart. It wasn't long before I ...

Wow, Theresa's got gonads, or more specifically, OVARIES!!! She really writes from her core, promising not to write about anything that doesn't scare her to the point of wiggling in her seat. This cathartic read is like a mirror held up to the most private confessions you have never made.

The Mislabeled Child: Looking Beyond Behavior to Find the True Sources and Solutions for Children's Learning ...23 reviews
Brock Eide, Fernette Eide
Hyperion, 2007
Get past the first chapter it's worth it...
This is a good book particularly for anyone struggling with issues at school or home. The early part of the book isn't that useful, but once you "get" what you're looking for there's a ton of REALLY useful research-based information. I'd highly recommend.

Rudolf Dreikurs, Vicki Soltz
Plume, 1987
Children: The Challenge
Few books can be an helpful for a harried parent than Rudolf Dreikurs book, Children: The Challenge. Each chapter is like a tool in a tool box that you pull from memory as situations arise with your child. While the book was written many, many years ago, it continues as a classic that I can't recommend highly enough. This copy was bought so I could refresh my skills as a first time ...

Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory & the Continuing Challenge to Unify the Laws of Physics16 reviews
Peter Woit
Jonathan Cape, 2006
Strings see things sideways.
Woit has written a very good book! Having studied strings since their inception (following on the duality work of Veneziano in 1968, and then many others) my work fortunately took a different path... The unique position that now appears is that of one who knows what strings are all about, but who enjoys seeing how long it'll take the rest of the physics fraternity to catch up - this claim is ...
