This is a wonderful introduction to the beautiful art form, the Spiritual. Bryan's selection is broad and include familiar tunes along with those not so widespread. The colors are inviting and seem to dance along with the melodic melodies of the notes.

Tim Connor's work in The Ancient Scrolls is truly inspirational. A well written parable! I highly recommend

Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Anorexia Nervosa And Related Eating Disorders In Childhood And Adolescence is devoted entirely to the eating disorders of childhood and adolescence. The editors draw upon fifteen years of experience in the field.

Additional chapters deal with schooling, ethical, and legal issues. There are also contributions by a young person who had an eating disorder as a child, and the mother of a young sufferer. Comprehensive, authoritative, insightful, clearly written, Anorexia Nervosa And Related Eating Disorders In Childhood And Adolescence is recommended reading to medical service providers, parents, and care-givers of any child or adolescent suffering from or at risk to any eating disorder.

This is one of a series that is now out of print (difficult to find) that teacher vocabulary and let's your imagination fill in the blanks. I was very young, maybe 3 or 4 when my mother used to read these small little hard covered books to me and my sister. They were just the right size to fit in our tiny hands. The stories are simple, two friends, ant and bee go on adventures and discover the world. Angela Banner is a gracious british writer who knows how to stimulate children's minds by feeding them very little. As the author introduces a word, she prints in red and repeats it through the text. The fun part is that, as I grew older, I would say the words in red print out loud. I learned how to read with Ant & Bee books!

It really is a great book with wonderful pictures.

A must for every parent to have in the house

The book was easy to read and adressed everyday situations and mind sets. I was very impressed with the practical nature of the book as well as the revelation into scripture verses.

Terisa Turner and the contributors to this collection break new ground in both analysing and predicting directions of social change. The new ground arises from the combined treatment of woman-man relations, race and class in practical cases in contemporary social struggle. Take gender to begin with. Turner's conception, outlined in the first two chapters, is based on the view that unpaid work of women undergrids corporate profits and hence any talk of social class must also include analysis of relations between women and men. The subsequent chapters proceed to document the importance of gender in social movements geared to abolishing exploitation and injustice founded on class. Rastafari in both East Africa, where the Pan-African movement originated, and in the Caribbean where it has flourished, is presented by Turner as a post-capitalist, global way of life which brings together a vast array of social groups united by the value of human life as opposed to profits and speculation. Other analyses of Kenya's social struggles, those of women in Nigeria's oilbelt, those opposed to the 1991 Gulf War take further the book's central thesis: when women's fundamental security is threatened they organize a movement of resistance, and this movement's success depends on a section of their menfolk breaking away from 'male deals' with exploiters and joining women in a struggle for transformational justice. This thesis is expressed in Seth Tobacman's shocking graphics ('the discovery of america and tompkins square park') and in Trinidadian Brother Book's powerful poem, 'message to the intellectuals from the grassroot' The collection of fight-back chronicles was inspired by the high points of the democracy movements of the late 1980s and early 1990s and has never been more relevant as the neo-liberal order crumbles under its own weight and irrationality at the beginning of the new millenium. The marxism of CLR James informs each chapter.

I got my first Ant and Bee book for my son on a recommendation from a nursery school teacher from the Bank Street School. My son is not quite two years old, and already follows the pictures and words in these classic books with glee. And because they are just his size, in bright colors, he especially likes to carry them with him when we travel. He likes pointing out characters like the Zoo Man and the Kind Dog, and of course, Ant and Bee. Most interesting about these books is that the text itself is fun for children to look at. Key words are highlighted with in varying fonts and colors, and sections are sprinkled with minature versions of pictures from larger illustrations. Since Around the World... is about a search for Bee's umbrella, my son calls out, "Bee's umbrella!" every time I point to the little umbrellas printed right into the text. Each book has its own special twist with familiar objects. I recommend the entire series.

Any basket maker or collector will enjoy and appreciate this book, and frankly their library will not be complete without it. Colorful and just packed with photographs, graphically stimulating and full of information about baskets and basket making around the world. I cherish my copy, and find it has inspired me to look again at the "average" and "use" baskets in my home - not just those in my collection. A worthy gift!
