I saw the authors on Oprah Winfrey and then read the book. It has been a big help to my family. We( parents) yell less, the kids follow directions better, and our youngest child no longer has tantrums. The authors present specific "how to " techniques for helping parents teach children to follow directions, end lying, improve motivation and school performance, and how parents can enhance ther own communication with each other. The best parenting book my wife and I have seen. Also has very amusing examples and a great parneting quiz

After searching all over for a way to understand the translation field and looking the dragon book and all, this is a great find. I am a practicing software engineer with training in electronics (good old forgotten days) and did not like math classes. This book is a great way to make this topic approachable for a practicing industry developer. Admittedly is a difficult read but if you want to understand something it needs the effort. If you cannot read the # * + etc in the other compiler books this books makes it comprehendible.

Very easy to read for people that speak other language than english. Most complete review in pediatric nephrology.

This book provides a comprehensive and broad-based view of the relatively new field of non-invasive percutaneous local anaesthesia. It provides an easy-to-follow introduction to the underlying sciences relevant to the subject area and anchors them effectively in the clinical sphere.

Although the book was complied in 1992-1993, it still provides an excellent grounding in the subject for physical scientists and clinicians alike, being excellently written.

This is one of the best gay erotic fictions I've ever read. Edward Ellis described a war that was fought in a remote island somewhere in south Pacific, where the battles were fought using men's sexual desires and organs. Under the secret weapon of the a group of rebels, the Pheromone Bomb, every single man, straight or gay, was turned into a male animal that only had one thing in his mind: other men's bodies... A very hot book for a lonely night!

Piero's ouevre has never seen such handsome representation in book form. Razor-sharp, large-format illustrations, including details printed at full-bleed on forearm-wide pages, permit intimate inspection of works which even in person can sometimes only be viewed distantly in dim church-light.

Quibbles include some tenuous conjectures about the development of the artist's thinking (which, if the author is taken at face value, includes the Zohar). It's too bad that more progress hadn't been made on the newly-restored Arezzo frescoes at the time of publication. But these aside, this is as definitive and gorgeous of a presentation of Piero as one could fairly ask for. Simply a beautiful book.

Pigs is Pigs, the title story is a hilarious account of a country station master determined to do things "by the book" when a consignment of guinea pigs arrives. The wheels of bureaucracy and the life cycle of guinea pigs lead to a hilarious story for young and old. You will never look at a guinea pig (hamster?) the same way again.

Middle class and lower class in today's England. Scarlet, middle-aged housewife, is slowly cracking up because every day seems alike and she sees no purpose in it. Her teenage daughter Camille decides to grow up but does not like it one bit. Husband and step father is a shadow in the background, because men do not really count. Scarlet's neighbor and very best friend is Constance, who has a Turkish boyfriend and who sells things that fall off trucks with the aid of her Gypsy family. Constance is the amateur psychiatrist, who explains the facts of life to Scarlet - either with straight forward, no nonsense talk, or else with the help of strong spirits.

This is a wonderful book, taking a surgical knife to England's middle class. And it is written in a tight, concise language that is so often missing nowadays. The Brits still know how to handle the language.

This book is a "Poetical snap-shot" of Rays' world. Touching, tender and hauntingly insightful. Sometimes very real as in the Poem entitled "Back to Back" 'Yes once again here are we, inbetween what was and what is to be.

Our past and future stand back to back, the eyes look ahead, the memory looks back.'

The opening verse of "Together on the Ark" serves well as a wake-up-call to humanity, we all should heed the admonition here.

The last line of the book, is a warning to all of us; "Even though you image is gone, what had cast it still remains forever."

All in all, the book is wonderful. I count as one of my lucky days, the one I happen to meet Ray Ellis. He has a beautiful world, he has shared it with all of us through his book.

Passionate and wild, this Home Brew Press publication features some of the best Midwestern poetry and prose being published anywhere. Editor Mary "Casey" Martin selects carefully and skillfully arranges her selections alongside some pristine images. Winter, wolves and love are the three themes celebrated, with the anthology's soaring words and brilliant illustrations (especially DeAnn De La Ronde's cover art) hammering home the concept. Especially affecting are poems by Edith Nash, Mark Scarborough, Jean Feraca and Martin herself, as well as a snippet of a biography of famed Wisconsin naturalist Frances Hamerstrom by Helen Corneli.
