I thought this was I great but sad book. It is about Frances Mary that rides the train from New York to Missouri on the train that took her and her brothers and her sisters to there foster parents. On her way home she takes 30 orphans to missouri to be adopted. This is a story of both adventure and tradigy.

This is a great little guide for identifying and developing strengths and weaknesses of individuals in organizations. The tone of the book is very 'real world' and managers at all levels can take something away from the knowledge and witty display of graph techniques quickly.

Best of all, "Coaching for Peak Employee Performance" is realistic. While introducing mentorship /coaching, you set up the parameters and expectations as well as developing the assessment device.Focussed on the professional level, this guide can help maintain and develop any organizational relationship and adopting just a couple of the techniques can make you more effective.

Although basic and broad, "Coaching for Peak Employee Performance" is entertaining and really helps you wrap your arms around these concepts. It is such a good introduction that I gotta give it two thumbs up. DA>

Two practicing veterinarians wrote "The Complete Cat Health Manual," and typically it is the guide I turn to after one of our cats has been diagnosed by our vet. Once I know the name of a disease or condition, this book will give me a good summary of the 'how and why,' and an indication as to treatment. Each condition, e.g. 'Trauma to the Cornea', is described by subsections labeled: "What are the Symptoms?;" "What are the Risks?;" and "What is the Treatment?"

The manual itself is organized into chapters, each of which describes a different part of the feline anatomy and what can go wrong with it. Parasites and infectious feline diseases get their own separate chapters.

The book's black and white drawings are excellent. I had no idea a cat's kneecaps were located on its hind legs, until I looked at the drawing in Chapter 8, "Bones, Joints, Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons (The Musculoskeletal System)." The drawings of parasitic life cycles are also very clear and interesting.

There are also several short appendices on subjects such as "Normal Physiological Data for the Feline."

Maybe I look up words differently than everyone else who speaks English, but it leads me to mention omissions in both the Glossary and the Index. For instance, one of my cats developed a limp and I tried to look up 'tendon' and 'limping' which were in neither section. I later discovered 'tendon' in the index under 'Musculoskeletal system'---not the first word that came to mind when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my cat.

Which leads me to 'limping.' I recommend that another brief chapter (even a table) be included in this manual's next edition: a summary of symptoms and what illness or cause could be indicated by the symptom. "The Cornell Book of Cats" has a good chapter on "Clinical Signs of Disease" that includes just such a table (okay, so it didn't have 'limping' either, but it did contain 'lameness'. And its index included 'tendons' and 'lameness.')

Use "The Cornell Book of Cats" for possible diagnoses before you take your cat to the vet. Read "The Complete Cat Health Manual" for a clear description of your cat's problem, after you come home from the clinic.

Note also that the Cornell book is more detailed as to treatment in the case of relatively rare diseases. For instance, this manual specifies that there is no treatment for idiopathic hepatic lipidosis (IHL), but the Cornell book states that up to sixty percent of cats suffering from IHL can be saved with the application of nutritional fluids through a stomach tube.

So, Popeye is an old gezier named POpeye who like to be called POpeye. Popeye is a man who is strong like me. I eat spinach my name is POpeye. I love Olvie do you want to marry me? I am in love OLive.

This is a very readable book for parents and clinicians. Clearly outlines what attachment disorder is and describes holding therapy. Cline speaks eloquently of the societal issues that combine to result in children who are seriously disturbed. Challenges treament providers to evaluate current methodology that is often ineffective with these children. Provides information about treatment that is effective with many seriously disturbed children. First printed in 1995, it is timely reading given our nation's current epidemic of violent, conscienceless children and adults.

Cooking with Texas Grandmas is a fun read with down home, comfort food receipes and wonderful family photos. Not being from Texas, I would have never picked this cookbook up in a store, however a friend suggested I obtain it as I love old photos and family style cookbooks. Glad I did, as everyone will recognize a few of their family favorites and some "Agnes and Agnes" variations on Sunday dinner standards. However, the most interesting receipe is for making pickles...in a washing machine...which horrified this Yankee, but I find myself looking at my Maytag with a new perspective.

My students could easily understand and enjoyed using this textbook. The publishers issue new editions often enough to keep the pictures from becoming out-dated. I think it is a very good textbook.

Dark Star was one of the first sci-fi books that I read, almost twenty years ago and my recollections of this title are very positive. Indeed, Alan Dean Foster has created a inquisitive, strange, thoughtful tale of loneliness, friendship and hopelesness among the distant stars. In fact, "Dark Star" is a book about the loss of hope that assailed the mankind, mainly in the 70's years. But it's not a dated book. You can read it now and certainly you'll find some great images completely acuratte for the nowdays.

The poems and bits of prose in this book are from the early 20th, late 19th century and I must say there are very few here that I've ever read. Defininetly for you if you like rare or unusual books :o)

The disappearance was a very good book.And if I was the auther I think you very proud.And think you shounld read are reread the disappeance. And if you don't have one get one. It is a good teen book.
