The author's mission in finding out the hows and whys of her forgetful mind is clever, fun and a joy to read till the end. Being the same age as the author, I find myself getting more and more ...

McGraw-Hill, 1998
Great Resource!
I loved the ideas this book suggests. I've been dealing with my daughter's tantrums due to the new baby, and this book has been extremely helpful. It not only gives me ideas on how to calm my daughter down, but it also shows me how to calm myself down. I think every parent knows what I'm talking about.

Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body36 reviews

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2002
Great for cadaver lab!
I don't know how I would have gotten through my cadaver lab without this book. We are tested on cadavers (not pictures) and this was a great way to fuse the information gained from drawn pictures and actual cadavers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone taking anatomy lab.

Jill Stamm, Paula Spencer
Gotham, 2007
Great Read for New Parents
This book was so helpful for me as a new, stay-at-home mom. It helped alleviate some of my concerns (yes, it is actually good and even necessary to let your baby have some "down time") and it also gave me some great ideas for age appropriate learning and play activities. I have a much better insight into the brain of a baby and how my little girl best learns and absorbs the world around her. A ...

Average person
I am also a contributer to this wonderful book. I've read it cover-to-cover several times and remain proud to be a part of it. As a writer, when reading someone elses work, the highest compliment I can give is "I wish I had written that." I felt that way in this book many times.
One reviewer stated that she couldn't relate to the book even though she has children with special needs. . .that ...

The Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning in Midlife (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts)27 reviews

More tools from the good doctor
I picked this book up shortly after finishing another Hollis book called "Why Good People Do Bad Things." I was so impressed by that book that I wanted to delve further into Hollis' Jungian take on life and I was not disappointed.
"The Middle Passage" examines many of the same concepts but focuses more on that time in our life when we seem to seek meaning with greater desperation than when we ...

Schuyler's Monster: A Father's Journey with His Wordless Daughter29 reviews
Robert Rummel-Hudson
St. Martin's Press, 2008
love of a child
the bond between this father and his child is the greatest gift of all, the story is poignant, yet told in chronological time for the read to try and fully grasp the despair, the joy, the sadness, the true love of having Schuyler and wanting what all parent's want for their children: health and happiness. This was a hard book to put down, and when you do you will go and hug your child.
