About 10 years ago I bought this book for my father, the first son of my immigrant grandfather from Japan who arrived in Hawaii about 1915. My father did not appreciate the book because it reminded him so vividly of the difficult days of living on the plantations and working in the canefields almost under slavelike conditions. This book truly depicts, through words and photos, an accurate history of the Japanese immigrants who sought a better life in Hawaii. Anyone who reads this book will have a good feel of the immigrant life and cannot leave the book without an appreciation of what we have today.

I am sorry this book is out of print. I own this book and refer to it every so often, not only for it's insightful suggestions for solving art medium problems, but for the wonderful color examples of the artist's work.

Being a student in Occupational Therapy at the Medical College of Georgia, this has become my reference book for every assignment! I refer to it every day and it has yet to let me down. With new topics, this book explains it in a way that is easy to understand. I have introduces several of my classmates to this book and they rely on it as much as I do! WONDERFUL PURCHASE!

A wonderful book in which Franklin D. Roosevelt emerges as a pragmatic and astute politician who manages the government with coordinating regional interests. The book conveys Roosevelt's adaptability to use federalism-a division of power between the federal government and local autonomy or grass roots movements-while implementing a massive restructuring of government to alleviate the Depression. Although Roosevelt had much help from advisers, he enforced the New Deal to reform banking, the Agricultural Adjustment Act to aid farmers, the unconstitutional National Recovery Administration, the Public Works Administration, the National Labor Relations Board and many others. Additionally, the author uses the term pluralism to describe Roosevelt's networking of various interest groups in an attempt to coalesce a coherent fiscal policy. Moreover, this book recognizes that competing interests sometimes precluded a successful outcome for New Deal legislation. Nonetheless, the author gives F.D.R. praise for his cautious approach in conducting foreign affairs and, especially, the United States' entry in World War II. The chapter about Eleanor Roosevelt gives the reader a glimpse into her humanitarian concerns for women and African Americans. The excellent bibliography adds a detailed essay about finding out more on this complex historical figure. This book made me feel as if I actually experienced the years during F.D.R.'s presidency and the outstanding writing added to my reading enjoyment.

This book is often read as a biography, but it is more than that. It is in large part the story of Franklin Roosevelt's politics and policies,as he moved to the right after 1937 and especially mid-way through W.W. II, that shift reflected in the appointment of Leo Crowley, a conservative Democrat whose Irish heritage and banking background tended to protect him against charges of being pro-British. But there is more. The reader will learn that there was an economic war with the British during the armed war against the Axis in the 40s.

This is an excellant book on the private life of Benjamin Franklin. You see, Ben retired in his early 40's and this book tells, quite eloquently I might add, the story of his personal life. I would highly reccomend it.

"The Promise of Paradise" offers valuable insight into the workings of a "cult". I use the word "cult" with the full understanding that the established religions that exist today have all started as "cults". The day-to-day account of Satya Bharti Franklin is very lucid;the author herself had been a ghost-writer for Rajneesh.

It is sad that the writer has not really learnt any lasting lessons from Rajneesh, viz, unconditional love for yourself and others, joyful surrender to existence at every moment, the concept of no mind which is the soul of meditation, etc., etc..
But this book hopefully will motivate you to read some of Rajneesh's books, especilly the five volumes of "The Book of the Secrets".

From what I glean from Satya's book, it seems that Rajneesh himself didn't practise what he so admirably preached. Perhaps he didn't realize that his ambition to promote his ideas through a group of people unfit to fathom the true meanings of Tantra, Tao and zen had stood in his way of dismantling completely the commune he helped to build. He perhaps wished for a large number of Bodhisatvas which he obviously didn't get.

But I am deeply grateful for Rajneesh for giving me great insight into who I am really. Love and best wishes to all of you.

This book offers a great reference to find evaluation tests and assessments. This is a good reference for the OT student. It provides an overview of many tests used in psych occupational therapy. It also gives food for thought regarding myths in mental health. It provides stress management information and gives application on how to use stress management in occupational therapy practice. This book shows the relationship between the theoretical models of psychology, theories and occupational therapy frames of reference.
