It is a fun book to read because it tells the reader how Bud Wilkinson was a football coach for young men that only players on so many other teams could only dream about. Bud Wilkinson was a coach who enjoyed the game and enjoyed practice aand he let his players do the same!

I'm On My Way Running is a compilation of thousands of writings about girls and young women through their changes from adolescence into adulthood. The writings include excerpts from novels, diaries, journals, autobiographies, multi-cultural traditional songs and much more, and most are fairly short (1 to 3 pages). They come from all over the world, and there is something from almost every culture and religion, from times dating back several centuries to writings as recent as the 1970's.

The book starts with the start of puberty and each section contains writings from the next age to the next until the newly grown women are now looking back and seeing how much like their mother they really are.

This book deals with every issue imaginable to a woman, and many unimaginable to most men, and I find it very interesting. I see a pattern that seems to stay mostly the same in these writings, whether the young woman is a rebel or traditional, whether she wants to strike out on her own or be a house-wife. That common thread has to do with a set of values that is passed in almost every culture from mothers to daughters - a set of values few men ever see or hear of, but that women expect men to live by as common sense. This was extremely eye opening to me, and allows me to be more patient with the female race as a whole as well as with myself.

I highly recommend this book to all women who seek a kindred spirit - whatever background you have, I am sure you will find one in one of those writers. I also recommend this to every man who thinks he will ever understand women or wants to try. No one will ever understand a woman as well as herself, and often she won't understand herself either. But this will give you patience, I am sure.

This book gives newest and exellent protocol. Contents are not so big but enough detail to follow experiments.

These are super little books for pre-schoolers! Older children also enjoy reading them to younger children. The words in rhyme and adorable pictures keep youngsters captivated and involved. My 2 1/2 year-old granddaughter loves all of these books and asks to have them read often. The author and artist have done a fantastic job of making it fun for chilren to learn.

Let me begin to say that an immensely hours on research must have been put in this book. One can almost follow Don Albert and his band day by day. The result is beautiful image of a reasonable successful territory band and the day tot day worries of an bandleader to keep his band going.

The autor has based his research in the first place on the Tulane Jazz Archive interviews with Don Albert and his musicians, Alvin Alcorn and Louis Cottrell jr. Next to it he sifted out national and regional newspapers looking for articles on and adverts for the Don Albert band. With these, The Chicago Defender was a primory source of information. This is a job every (New Orleans music) researcher is dreaming of. In 1982, in New Orleans, I went to the offices of the Louisiana Weekly somewhere on South Rampart Street, leaf through some back volumes of the periodical (everything is on microfilm). I found a treasure on information on bands from the 1910's and 1920's. The only problem, you got to have time and patience to go through all that. If only because of this, this book deserves a recommandation.

There are two chapters I found even more interesting than those dealing with the good and the bad days of the band during their touring, namely chapter one : 'A Musical Education in Creole New Orleans', and chapter eleven : 'The Second Keyhole, and a Fight for Social Justice'. It is very interesting following Don Albert during his youth in the ethnic and cultural very divers New Orleans. The account gives a more objectif image of the life in the Creole part of the city, the merge of the 'French-European' values of the Creoles with the 'American' of the poeple living Uptown, than what Sidney Bechet described in his autobiography, 'Treat It Gentle' or what Jelly Roll Morton told Alan Lomax. For some one who loves New Orleans music this chapter alone is a sufficient reason to buy this book. Chapter eleven on the other hand, tells the about the hard reality of Don Albert's return to New Orleans and the opposition he encountered in this town of the South of the US in the fifties to open a club. Until then, in Sanb Antonio, Don Albert had developed 'The Keyhole' into a modern, succesful nightclub with known acts and where White as well as Colored were welcome. Back in New Orleans, it was Don's intention to buy the 'Gipsy Tearoom' and to bring to the same level as 'The Keyhole'. But Don had not taken into account the laws of the South. On which Don returned to San Antonio to start a second Keyhole. But also there he had to deal with the same narrow minded mentality. Very interesting is also the story of Don Albert's return as a musician. It will not surprise you Bill Russell played a very important part in it.

I heard Don Albert twice during the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Jazzfestval (with Manny Crusto, Wendeel Eugene and Manny Sayles) in 1976 and 1979. He appeared to be a very comlpetent musician, although he did not had that inspiring hot style of Kid Howard, DeDe Pierce or Kid Thomas, but he rather fitted in the category of a Peter Bocage and Charlie Love. Even if his style is not one of the most exciting, the account of his life, as a musician, bandleader, clubowner and as a product of the amny cultures of his native city, reads as a novel. And this is not the sole merit of the writer. Once you start reading, you will not stop. A Very lovely book.

These letters are written by a young widow during the Revolutionary War. She is quite an excellent writer with astute observations, although at that time in history, women weren't allowed the privilege of expressing their sentiments politically. A wonderful book, but over much too fast!

this gives a full treatment of st gauden's works. The critically acclaimed work was nominated for a pulitzer prize in 1986 and its apparent why

I have been spending prolonger periods of time in Lisbon, and thought I felt a 'local' there. I thought I knew all of it - its unique Old City and other sights to see, the places to hang out, things to do. I would have never thought that I would need a guidebook. In fact, Lisbon is a very easy and relatively inexpensive city to get around (unlike chaotic Rome, ... London, or confusing Asian cities). It is a wonderful place, which I thought I could fully enjoyn without the help of any guidebook. Yet, even for someone like me who knows the place and speaks the language, this Lonely Planet guidebook proved extremely useful. It is indeed one of the best LP books I have ever used - extremely well-written, entertaiting, easy-to-use, and filled with precious information. I thought I had seen all the beautiful sites, but this guidebook led me to even more places which I would have not otherwise found: to beautiful coast resorts just outside the city, Estoril just on her outskirts, etc. - with full advice on places to visit, to eat, etc. I thought that I knew what to do at night (it's not hard to find night life in Libson), but this guidebook opened my eyes even more to the wonderful life of the city after dark: the less-known discos and cafés with live music from São Tomé e Principe or Cabo Verde, the Angolan and Mozambican restaurants, etc. Also, I had been unable to find more 'formal' places for business lunches, and this book has that also ! All this is, without mentioning the excellent coverage on the city's history, art, architecture - an excellent guide indeed to her museums, churches and other sites. So, even if you do feel confident, don't go to Lisbon without it - you might be missing something you would not otherwise find.

This books gives each and every money-making idea a special chapter. For example, when it suggests being a party-helper, it gives you recipes and advice on how to take things out of the oven. This book would make a good present for young entrepreneurs who want more advice on how to get started.

This book represents the end result of a collaboration between two of the clearest thinking clinical minds in our field today. Drs. Gabbard and Wilkinson bring, to this book, a wealth of clinical and teaching experience, deep and comprehensive understanding of the human mind and condition, and an enviable ability to spell out and explain it all. These traits, which the authors share, is evident throughout their book. From the first page to the last, the reader is not only taken into the "consulting room", but into the therapist's inner experience, as well. In a 3-dimensional fashion, the reader is exposed to, and informed about the experience of countertransference. Admittedly, the focus of the book is on countertransference with Borderline patients, but the book goes beyond that, and gives the reader a better understanding about countertransference in general. Specifically, the reader is taken through a process of looking at countertransference as a useful, and natural part of the therapeutic process, and, through the use of vivid and detailed clinical examples, shown how to make use of this phenomenon in treatment.

The book systematically takes the reader from a general overview of the topic, into specific clinical paradigms and situations which frequently occur in the treatment of patients with Borderline disorders. In each situation (or for each paradigm) theoretical explanations are interspersed with clinical examples. In this way, the material "comes to life" and the reader is more easily able to relate to and put himself/herself into the situations described in the book. I have been teaching and supervising psychotherapy for the past 12 years, and can say without hesitation that this is one of the best books available for practicioners and students alike. I highly recommend this book to anyone engaed in or training in the practice of psychotherapy. I also anxiously await the next collaboration from these two authors.
