Over My Head : A Doctor's Own Story of Head Injury from the Inside Looking Out

Claudia L. Osborn

Andrews Mcmeel Pub, 1998

Brain Fog Unfogged -- A Feat in Communication
Osborn does what is virtually impossible. She translates the fog of a damaged brain's function into vignettes that an undamaged brain can comprehend. In her case, this translation is from experiences which were by definition wordless, disorganized, incomprehensible, frightening and often completely mindless to their opposites. The level of Dr. Osborn's skill in doing this may be best ...

This is all you need for Middle Easter cooking
After my gourmet food writer friend's recommendation, purchased this for a quality food fan husband as a gift. This book contains thorough recipes of Middle Eastern with history and original names. Some inserts of beautiful photos, as well (which is more restaurant ready than home ready). Can use out of this every day. Strongly recommended.

Perfect for your Pre-Teen girls
I began reading these books when I was in 5th grade and remember continuing to read them through Jr. High School. Now, I am 24 years old, pregnant with my first baby (a girl) and have pulled out those books to dust off and pass onto my daughter. These books are light-hearted, fun and still teach a good lesson about friendship, handling jobs, money, etc. I think these are fabulous books and ...

Charles J. Givens

Simon & Schuster, 1993

Become ten feet tall and bullettproof!
Interesting that some people are surprised that Charles Givens produced this audio tape program and the book of the same name--SuperSelf; interesting because this is how Givens started way back in 1975 with his first company The Success Motivation Institute which was incredibly successful. SuperSelf is a program designed to take back control. To destroy the control others or events have over our ...

It is more a collection of tips & techniques for drawing almost any subject. The author starts out by explaining each kind of line and what it's used for. Next, she explains value. Ink washes, a dry brush, and a variety of different line types are then used to ...

Claudia Emerson

Louisiana State University Press, 2005

Wonderful
I was a student of Claudia Emerson's at Mary Washignton College, and find her ability to honest and genuine in the classroom translates in her work. I remember her discussing "Late Wife" just as her previous collection "Pinion" was released. It is exciting to see the conversations she had among her students, now present in the art. My favorite poem is her metaphoric look at the batting cage and ...

Delightful!!
I really enjoyed this book and the first book in the series. The dialogue as well as the plot was outstanding. I've been disappointed with a few of the books I've read lately and this book was a breath of fresh air. The way she describes love and playful banter is this book is great. The characters are lively and interesting. It was nice to see if Bell would finally get her man. I was ...

Told in buoyant verse, this story is an entertaining introduction to the idea that achieving begins with believing.
