This wonderful picture book covers all the Americas: from A is for the Americas to Z is for Zuñi. The book explores the English alphabet as well as letters that the Spanish alphabet has in common with English, and it has informative entries for the Spanish Ch, Ll and ñ. Including the three letters the Spanish alphabet has but the Enlish does not is a nice touch;however, the text is only in English with excellent illustrations by Enrique O. Sánchez supporting the text. Spanish words and concepts are explained in English making this a good book for a child who is aquiring Spanish. A child who is acquiring English should also enjoy this text.

Yo leí este libro en inglés cuando tenía 10 años. Era un libro importante para mi desarrollo personal. La autora Judy Blume entiende las niñas muy bien. Sabe lo que piensan mientras están entrando en la adolescenia. Al leer este libro una sabe que no está sola en este proceso. Tiene a Dios. Ahora compraré este libro para mi sobrina quien solo lee en español. Estoy muy feliz porque la traducción existe y la pude conseguir a través del internet.

this is an excellent sourcebook for those people seeking clear explanations of their fears and phobias. i particularly enjoyed the easy-to-follow methods provided to ease anxieties.

This is a beautiful story about two brothers and their imaginary friends. The oldest brother is playing with his Dragon (imaginary friends) while the younger sibiling feels left out...until he creates his own imaginary friend: A Camel!!!! Both imaginary friends start playing with each other :-) ... and so do the brothers... It's a beautiful story, humorous and sweet about being friends and sibilings.

This book is the Spanish version of "Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble". Funny story about Henry and his big dog Mudge, as they enjoy springtime adventures together. Henry is disappointed when Mudge eats a snow glory he has been waiting to pick. Henry and Mudge decide to enjoy a mud puddle, and Mudge becomes the protector of five baby kittens. Fun story and adorable pictures!

If you are in the business of creating serious software that is safety critical or security related then this book is essential reading, it is also an excellent guide if you have an interest in how such software is created. Focusing on how the SPARK language assures correctness throughout the construction of the software and how the supporting tools allow analysis of the resulting program, the book forms an essential reference work for users of the SPARK approach to developing software.

This book consists of three main parts plus an appendix.
The first part consists of an overview of why SPARK was created and the background to the language and tools.
Part two looks in detail at the SPARK language.
Part three considers the tools available; various code analysis techniques and design issues that can help in the development of high integrity software. Three small case studies are included, together with some examples of real projects where SPARK has been used in large scale industrial projects.
The Appendix covers the syntax of SPARK, how to use the CD-ROM and some notes on the continuing developments of the evolution of SPARK.
The included CD-ROM allows you to try out some of what the book teaches and includes limited versions of the SPARK Examiner toolset.

In this book John Barnes writes in a style similar to his other texts; this is rather like a guiding teacher leaning over your shoulder as you work at the computer, pointing out things to observe and illustrating with snippets of code or background information. It is a style that has been criticised by some, but I find it rather reassuring as you are guided along the path to understanding. The inclusion of a CD-ROM also allows you to understand by doing, and although the tool is limited in capability, it is possible to get a good flavour of the capabilities of its parent product.

This book replaces the previous SPARK book: "High Integrity Ada : The SPARK Approach". Barnes covers the revisions and enhancements of the SPARK language described in his original book, if you are an existing user of SPARK, you need this issue to stay up-to-date with the important revisions of the language and tools. This book tries to distance itself somewhat from Ada95, possibly because of the image that language has with less well-informed programmers, but since you need an Ada compiler to produce executables from SPARK programs it would be fair to point out that SPARK is firmly rooted in Ada95.

Creating high integrity software is a disciplined process, and the book is very much based in the practical application of SPARK in building high integrity software. The SPARK language is based solid mathematical foundations, but there is no detailed descriptions at this level, the book rightly points out that they are there and then moves on towards giving you the practical information you need to write SPARK programs. Mastering SPARK gives you unprecedented skills in the highly desirable field of producing high integrity software.

"A well written program is its own heaven; a poorly written program is its own hell."

The Authors provide a forum for the telling of individual hispanic women's stories about aspects of theological principles which cut across the various U.S. Latino populations.These women's stories provide transformational insights regarding: the feminine face of God:liberation vs equality in relationships;and leadership styles driven by the common good rather than individual gain.

Young parents who are now, or will soon be seeking out nursery schools for their children, will be pleased to know that help is at hand. Dr. Anbar, with more than 30 years of experience in early childhood education, has brought forth this updated edition of the first guidebook for parents of preschool education. Using lively anecdotes, the author recounts children's daily experience in various types of preschool programs available today.

What is good for one child is not necessarily good for another, cautions the author. HOW TO CHOOSE A NURSERY SCHOOL guides parents to an understanding of how to make an intelligent and confident choice for their child.

Relatively unknown but on par with "Hiding Place" and "Goodbye is not forever" in terms of its power, I highly recommend this book, which is silently dedicated to the many innocents who lost their lives in the Stalinist USSR. It's simple, elegant narrative packs a cumulative punch in illustrating what it means to take up the cross and follow Jesus. I would have loved to meet Ms. Bershadsky, whom I believe must be at this moment sitting next to Jesus. God bless your soul, Ms. Bershadsky, and also all those who suffered with you in person or in spirit.

I teach kindergarten and this is a great book to use to talk about friendship and sharing. This book also reinforces sequencing.
