Bratton's Family Medicine Board Review (Family Practice Board Review) 14 reviews
Robert L Bratton
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007
Well worth 2 readings prior to testing.
For my review, I used the AAFP course (CD's over a few months), Osler's course and this book. Although the week-long courses were good and clinically relevant, this book really completed my review. I went through it once completely, and back again to review missed items. I have been out of practice and taking care of my kids for over a year and this book helped tremendously. Very similar to ...

A compellingly brilliant account of power in America
A compellingly brilliant account of power in America and how it's shaped by religion. 'The Family' chronicles the ideas advanced by the elite Christian fundamentalist group of that name at the highest levels of government during the past half century. Through its White House and congressional connections, the Family has influenced the deployment of US power, especially in foreign policy during ...

Ethnicity and Family Therapy, Third Edition 15 reviews
The Guilford Press, 2005
Ethnicities and Culture
This book was suggested to me by one of my professor's who happens to teach a family counseling course. She suggested that we buy this book to use in our future practices. Since I have purchased the book, I have already referred to it twice. It is highly detailed and knowledgable. I was able to use if for a presentation and for a resource on a college exit exam. I highly recommend this book ...

Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God16 reviews
Voddie T. Baucham Jr.
Crossway Books, 2007
Challenges your thinking
Interesting a reviewer said Baucham teaches "Beating kids=good! Evolution=Bad!" ...it tells you right there that reviewer has succumbed to the culture that Baucham ironically warns people against (the culture says spanking=beating kids and macroevolution=fact). For everyone else, this book shows Christians how our practices have been influenced by the culture (rather than the other way around) ...

Family First: Your Step-by-Step Plan for Creating a Phenomenal Family84 reviews
Dr. Phil McGraw
Free Press, 2005
Tools to help put your family first.
This book is on my mind because I recommended it yesterday while talking with a single mother. She clearly loved her kids but was at her wit's end with them not listening, not helping out at home and constantly arguing with her and each other. She said she had "tried everything" (which she later acknowledged she hadn't once she saw how she eventually gave in because the disciplinary tactics she ...

Family Therapy: Concepts & Methods (8th Edition)1 review
Michael P. Nichols, Richard C Schwartz
Allyn & Bacon, 2007
"The Standard Text" for Family Therapy
Nichols work, now in the 8th edition, is a seminal work in family therapy. This new edition, has some extra-features, which make it even more desireable than the 7th. It is more sympathetic to the postmodern therapies (solutions-focused, narrative), which I either practice or have been heavily influenced by. Nichols work is a great way to "break in" to this field as he survey the field, its ...

An American Family: The Buckleys2 reviews
Reid Buckley
Threshold Editions, 2008
A warm, fascinating glimpse into the Buckleys...
I just finished reading this poignant tome and am quite surprised to find that this review shall be its first within this arena. I scarcely imagine that any hastily-crafted lines that I manage to put down can match the warmth, the elegance and the humility with which this book is written. Certainly, there are many other avenues with which to gain insight into the lives that were, and remain, ...

David Sedaris
Little, Brown & Company, 2004
Excellent! Highly recommended!
This book stood out on the shelf. At the time i purchased it i knew nothing of David's works and boy was I in for a surprise! Reading David's collections is one of those guilty pleasures you just cant describe to people. This book is by far one of my all time favorites. I look forward to his new title "when you are engulfed in flames".

Family Wealth--Keeping It in the Family: How Family Members and Their Advisers Preserve Human, Intellectual, ...18 reviews
James E. Hughes Jr.
Bloomberg Press, 2004
Clear, concise and THOROUGH
This is the BEST book I have found (after looking a long time) to instruct those who understand AND believe in themselves in how to perpetuate their ideals.
While I may not fully share the author's bias (clearly described in an opening chapter), I emphatically endorse his diagram for perpetuation. This book is a treasure map for the future.
Gotta run.....hunting for treasure, y'know....

New and practical information that I can use
I have been an investor and rehabbing for several years with single and dual family homes. During this time I have read several books on Multi Family Apartment ownership. For some time I have wanted to move on to larger units but was concerned that I didn't have the knowledge to move forward. Each time I finished reading the other books I came away still feeling I needed more practical ...

Barbara Delinsky
Anchor, 2008
Delinsky delivers again!
I am a long-time fan of Barbara Delinsky. Her stories are fascinating and her characters are believable and deep. Delinsky consistently delivers a tale with twists and turns, with romance and mystery. In this story, a white couple welcomes the birth of their baby, only to experience a shock when the infant clearly has African American traits. Blue-blood Hugh and his wife, Dana, who never knew her ...

University of California, Berkeley, Lawrence, 1986
Fun ways to help your children love math
I hate math. Memories of trying to understand long division in fourth grade can still make me squirm. Algebra was a lost year of my life - I had no idea what the teacher was talking about. Wouldn't you just guess I'd end up with a son who could add two digit numbers in his head before he started kindergarten? (I'm over 40 and I still can't do it very well) He even thought it was fun to do so. ...

The Family Book38 reviews
Todd Parr
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2004
Searching for help
My partner and I were looking for some books for our young nephew that would help him understand that families are defined by love and caring; not gender sex which some seem to obsess over. As accepting and inclusive as our families have been over the last 25 years of our relationship, American society's exclusion of LGBT people from the mainstream has denied a complete and accurate view of the ...

Nijole V. Benokraitis
Prentice Hall, 2007
an eye opener!
When discerning the human social condition, I always refer to this text; when conversing with family and friends about the construct of what drives humans to make relationship choices, I refer them to this text. If I have read this text ten years ago I would have not have gotten married. Knowledge is EMPOWERMENT...the information in this text will knock your socks off! From what theories ...
