This is one of the nmost readable treatments of the subect of EPSS I've come across. Designed as a practitioner's guide, it also provides an introduction for business executives and decision-makers to orient them to what EPSS can, and cannot be expected to accomplish.

All fundamental technologies of EPSS are describe in plain English, followed by implications for instructional designers and performance technologists who will be defining functionality, information architecture, navigational and interface designs and assessment of applications. Sample code and design templates, along with over 3-dozen planning and implementation job-aids, and a side-by-side comparison of development tools and technologies make this an invaluable addition to one's library.

Just as a prism breaks up light into a band of colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet - and their infinite gradations, so do Emily Dickinson's poems become, as it were, a prism which captures the white light of reality, a reality which as it flows through the prism of her poem explodes into a multiplicity of meanings.

It is the rich suggestiveness of her poems, a suggestiveness which generates an incredible range of meanings, that prevents us from ever being able to say (to continue the metaphor) that a given poem is 'about red' or 'about blue,' because her poems, as US critic Robert Weisbuch has observed, are in fact about everything. This is what makes her so unique, and this is why she appeals to every kind of reader, and even to children.

The present book, which has been edited by Brenda Hillman, gives us accurate texts of the poems in a 150-page selection taken from the authoritative variorum edition of Thomas H. Johnson, the well-known Dickinson scholar who worked many years to establish the correct texts.

The book is beautifully printed in two-colors on excellent paper, and in a tiny format which is perfect for the pocket. It would in fact make a very nice gift. You'd be making a gift of poetry which is one of the wonders of the world.

This is a very sweet book with a delightful rhythm in it. Its about a little girl and two little twins on their way to school. It teaches vocabulary, numbers and interactions between siblings and student and teacher. My kids just love this one and we read it over and over again.

Hi, I'm the author, and I wanted to share with you why I wrote this book. All the "drawing horses" books I've ever seen are full of great looking pictures of horses. The drawings would look fantastic in an art class or museum. However, it's tough for kids to draw at that level, and it can be very discouraging. I know, because I've been teaching cartooning and art classes for children for many years.
So, I applied the simple, common-sense techniques I developed as a cartoonist and teacher, and came up with "Drawing Horses That Look Real." There are step-by-step instructions from muzzle to tail, and my special cartooning secrets are outlined in a fun format that kids can master quickly. The book speaks directly to the reader, and nothing is left to chance. Most of all, the level of drawing is just right for kids, and can be enjoyed by anyone with patience and practice! I hope that many kids who love these fine animals will also love my book.

Bjorn Sortland's The Dream Factory: Starring Anna & Henry is a children's picture story with a twist - two children, following a riddle, go on a fantastic journey through the "reel" world of some of the most famous scenes in motion picture history, from riding in Ben-Hur's chariot to swinging on jungle vines with Tarzan. The color artwork has a very soft, charcoal-like touch to it. This rapturous story, wonderfully illustrated by Lars Elling, is perfect for the youngster who has already developed a taste for motion pictures and wants to know a little more about the classics that fascinated Mom and Dad.

I read this book in German, as "Die Geheimnisse des Zauberers".I only have got 3 Teen Power books, and I¢¥m not sure if I can still buy some in Germany. But let¢¥s hope it. In the "Sorcerer¢¥s Apprentice" Tom is the one who is telling the story. I like him very much, because he nearly (never) looses his humor. Of course, I like the other teens too, but it was interesting to see what a person is in Tom, not only the joking boy, but also a sometimes offended teen. Sid, the magician is also a nice person to think about a bit more than to see only the joking old man. I think Tom and Sid are a bit from the same typ. Well, this shan¢¥t be more than a short note, so TEEN POWER!

Emily was forced to marry as bartar for her brothers and father's debts. But she could not endure the harsh coldness from her husband Lord Keynes. She fled to London in search of a new life
and worked as a main in the home of Lady Fordyce. Then, she was recognized....

Easy to read, over and over. Great characters, swift adventurous story, heart warming romance.

First of all, I must state that I am biased. I love Emily. I always have. Anything Emily, I will most likely fall in love with. That being said, lets get to the review. This journal is wonderful. The lines are slightly jagged, giving it that diary-of-a-phsyco look (perfect for me ;) ). The spot art throughout is very nice, very Emily. Another plus: the paper is extra thick. Great for all you sharpie lovers. No bleeding! Yay! One complaint...though. This journal is recomended for children. Emily may be young, but she is no child. This book is for the strange, the goth and the disturbed.

Healing Today (Journal of the National Federation of Spiritual Healers) July, 1999 Reviewed by Shirley Brooker

Emily and the Angels is an exciting adventure which possibly was written for children but holds many thought provoking ideas for adults. Like the Wizard of Oz, the Narnia stories and many other so-called children's books, there are different messages to meet the needs of the reader. It is a story of personal unfoldment and the search for wisdom.

Sarah is a young girl who longs to do more to save the world than just recycling bottles and papers. She is led into a maze by little Emily and meets with a group of others. They find their way out into a world where many of the people have caught a virus and become detached from their shadows. These people are enslaved by the evil and scheming Krinlins. The girls take on a mission to seek help and their journey is frought with danger and temptations that distract them from their task. There are exciting events, which lead them deeper into personal understanding and awareness of other levels of being.

An adaptation of the book is produced in the form of two audio cassettes, a total duration of three hours. It is read by Jeni Barnett in a way more suitable for children than adults.

As a lover of children's stories, I found Emily and the Angels refreshing to read. It contained gentle reminders of how best to deal with issues that arise in life. I enjoyed the book and recommend it for adults and children alike.

Terrific children's story; entertaining to all us kids of every age told by a wry, wonderful storyteller. Folks in Riverside, Calif., know him through his newspaper column, but to the rest of the country, he is the best kept secret of Southern California writers of all time. And that is too bad. His wonderful wit shines through in this his first book. And Gary's illustrations are amazing. Here is a book that ought to be on every bestseller list and on every book shelf on the planet. Thanks Dan and Gary
