The Caregiver's Tale: The True Story Of A Woman, Her Husband Who Fell Off The Roof, And Traumatic Brain Injury

4 reviews
Marie Therese Gass, 2007

Caregiving: Love, Friendship, Frustration, Laughter
I found it hard to put this book down. It's so well written that it just draws you right in. I think it would benefit anyone who's involved in care giving. It's told from the caregiver's point of view and you feel like you're there going through each crisis as it happens. It made me realize that a trauma changes not only the victim's life, but also the lives of the family. It made see things ...

Brain Quest

Workman Publishing Company, 2002

Typicall Brainquest product
I have purchased the My First Brainquest, Preschool Brainquest, Kindergarten Brainquest, and Bathtime Brainquest. This is a typical Brainquest item! I love this series. So far they have all been age appropriate and my 4 yo has learned a lot! My only complaint is that doing these questions before bedtime makes her more talkative and less ready for bed! So now we don't do them right before bed.

Informational Book
After viewing an excellent pbs science program on strange conditions caused by physical problems with the brain. I wanted to continue the journey and shopped around for a book that would explore the brain in more depth. This book presents a macro view of the brain and a thought provoking experiment that explored the interaction between the conscious and subconscious. The book is easy to ...

Accessible Science
Dr Doigdge does an amazing job of teaching difficult scientific concepts in a manner that made me want to keep reading because I was understanding it. Who would have thought that a nonfiction book about brain plasticity would become a page turner? I hope he writes another book about the brain. As he points out, we are discovering so much about it and at a fast pace.

Maryanne Wolf

Harper, 2007

Good Popularization of Serious Research
It is perhaps more enjoyable to listen to this on the CDs, as I did while waiting for the paperback to come out. So many people were citing it that I felt I needed to know what was in it and didn't want to buy the older hardback version in case there were any significant updates. I purchased the paperback as well, because I needed to be able to cite accurately the parts that I wanted to share ...

Another great Brainquest product
Of all the Brainquest products my daughter has (My first, preschool, kindergarten, and bedtime) this one has the most challenging questions for her. Many of these questions has caused us to do experiments with her (such as what happens to water when it freezes and when it is boiled). The pages are made of a waterproof plastic like material so you can leave them in the tub. All in all, another ...

John D. Fitzgerald

Puffin, 2004

A great read but BEWARE.
This book is a wonderful protrait of 19th century rural America, but people should be aware that it was written at a time when there was much more freedom of speech than we have today. Topics in the book include suicide, religious intolerance and fear of immigrants. There is a scene where the boys go skinny dipping and also one story concerns John mating his dog, so this book probably should not ...

Mike Hally

Joseph Henry Press, 2005

Excellent Lay History of the Early Days of Computers
I have a Computer Science degree, but you don't need one in order to appreciate this book. It is a collection of stories about different computers, companies, and people from the early days of electronic digital computers (although there is a story about an analog, hydraulic one!) in the middle 20th century. And it isn't only US computers: The UK, Australia, and the USSR are also represented. ...

Chrysalis Children's Books, 1999

One of the cutest little books around
A strange little book, I only bought it because my two year old bit it in the store, and it has been a real treasure. This little boy who loves cars, trucks, and tools more than anything adored this book above all others. It keeps him interested in reading, and the pictures make him giggle. A true gem.
