Hazelden, 2000

Immeasurable!
This book is an INCREDIBLE help - even if you don't end up doing an intervention for your loved one. It's title derives from the term "Tough Love," and theorizes putting LOVE FIRST. It gives clear and concise explanations of every aspect of addiction and treatment to those who aren't quite understanding the whole picture. If you are, or are dealing with, friends and/or family of an addict, this ...

Jossey-Bass, 2005

Great information for parents too!
My daughter's teacher loaned me this book after I shared with her my frustration over understanding "how" my daughter thinks and how to help her with her homework and life in general. If you don't have ADD you can't understand why things that seem perfectly logical to you make no sense what so ever to the person with ADD. I sat down thinking I would flip through and read a few passages...I've ...

Thanks Ms. Quill!
A practical book with some great advice for therapists and parents on having your autistic child OBSERVE AND LEARN FROM THEIR ENVIRONMENT! That is what we want right? I like this book because it gave me practical advice to work with my son the very same day on suggestions that work. For the holidays and birthdays give this book to your therapists/aides and teachers vs. another gift. It is a ...

Every Knee Shall Bow : The Truth&Tragedy of Ruby Ridge&The Randy Weaver Family

12 reviews
Jess Walter

Harpercollins, 1995

The Final Word
This excellent book may well be the definitive work on the tragedy of Ruby Ridge. I was prepared for another diatribe; either Randy Weaver the martyr or Randy Weaver the lawless, racist scum. Instead, Jess Walter has written a very even-handed chronicle that left me terribly sad. If Walter's facts are right, (and they're certainly believable,) this was a story without unalloyed heroes or ...

Jossey-Bass, 1993

GREAT Reference for School, or Real Life
This book made me wish that ALL reference books were written this clearly. Whether your looking to use this book to do a presentation in school, a teacher looking for help on teaching ADHD students, or have an ADHD child of your own, this is for you. It's a no non sense, straight forward guide to ADHD. It includes the causes, symptoms, treatment suggestions, and more. It even goes into specific ...

Metropolis Ink, 2005

One of the BEST books ever written for pregnant women!!
As both a childbirth educator and a labor doula, I find this book has great (and accurate) information, with worksheets that are perfect for discovering what you want as a pregnant woman, good research to help backup all the claims, PLUS it's written by a midwife! I could go on and on, so just put away that copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and get this one instead! Inform yourself ...

Carolyn Godschild Miller

H.J. Kramer, 1995

Roll Your Own Miracles (?)
Quick - what's the first thing that comes to mind when you find yourself in a bind? The frantic search for someone to blame? The feeling of victimhood? The lengths to which we are willing to stretch reason in order to find someone else responsible for our woes is nearly comical. This book is as close as you can get to a "how-to" book for miracles. The exalted "A Course In Miracles" is ...

Penny Simkin, Ruth S. Ancheta

Blackwell Publishers, 2000

A Must-Have for Doulas
This book should be on the recommended reading list for all doula training programs! In a clear, concise, and thoughtful way, Penny explains what makes labor progress, how to recognize labor progress, and how to help with labor progress. My copy is always in my birth bag. I have used it at several births for various reasons, and have always found it to be helpful, with reminders or even just ...

Julian May

Del Rey, 1988

A good read-- prequel to the Pliocene Exile Series
I found it interesting that Julian May viewed her Galactic Milieu Trilogy as her tour de force. She thought about it for years according to her interviews. She wrote the Pliocene Series as a means of introducing the reader to many of the concepts she thought might be difficult to digest without it. According to her, she wrote the first two books of the Pliocene Saga in like two months! ...

Hawthorne Educational Services, 1988

Brilliant for studnet teachers and full time teachers
I bought this book two years ago when I was just six months into my four-year teacher training. I am now in my third year and the poor book needs a new cover. This book has not only helped me with my prac experiences but also given me an insight to the classroom and its operations. The book is an absolute God sent. I have referred at least 3 people that have bought it from Amazon and I am ...

8 reviews

Jossey-Bass, 2006

Substantive and Provocative
In the complex, interconnected, global environment that most organizations work in daily, it is no longer possible for a few people "at the top" of the organization to have all the knowledge, expertise, and perspective needed for its success. At NovaLearning, we have used large group methods with colleges and universities for about fifteen years. I have constantly seen how institutions become ...

W. W. Norton, 2007

A Must have for every Hypnotherapist
As the director of The Denver School Of Hypnotherapy, I am always looking for really good books on hypnosis/therapy to use as a textbook or to put on our recommended reading list, and this book fills both needs. About 1/3 of the way into the book, I had decided to use it as one of our main textbooks, replacing one we have used since the school opened. Ms Daitchs' professional easy to read style ...

Rates a 20 on the VAS!!
I found this book so helpful to me in my practice, that I bought a second copy - leave one in the office, and one at home so that whenver I need a reference, it is right there. Margo and Chris have provided those of us interested in pain managment with a jewel - this book just has it all. And they generously allow you to photocopy patient education materials. It is the best thing out there. My ...
