The Illustrated Guide really is. It's a non-axe-grinding report on many long term trends in American life and a useful reference when people of one political stripe or another make broad statements.

Meticulous scholarship, but the text remains readable and interesting to the rest of us. Produced by leading experts, skillfully edited by Peter Barnet, the text is as exquisitely done as an ivory carving itself. The book is generously illustrated throughout with many photographs of the ivories. This book belongs in your collection if you admire fine art and craftsmanship from the medeival period.

This is an interesting longitudinal study of a systemic staff development effort. The study points out to us once again the principals' leadership changing the school culture as well as classroom practices.

After more than fifteen years in health care as a medical social worker, I've seen my share of QI ideas. Believe me, this is the best book I've ever seen on this subject. It is everything you as a health care professional would need to get serious about using quality improvement to make real changes in practice--and in principle. If you work in end-of-life care and are tired of seeing patients with unrelieved pain, want to move beyond the living will to comprehensive advance care planning, are willing to recognize the role of spirituality in bereavement--just for example--the information you need is here. This is not your ordinary quality improvement book. It talks about real action and practical ways to change entrenched systems. The quotes at the beginning of the chapters are from Will Rogers and Yoda and Anonymous: "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." The authors, Dr. Joanne Lynn, Janice Lynch Schuster, and Andrea Kabcenell, have a penchant for clear writing and well-organized outlines. The book is sponsored by the Center to Improve Care of the Dying and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. If you are ready to start improving end-of-life care tomorrow, read the book today.

This book is packed, without being written to intimidate. Sections are clearly headed, inviting use of the book as a reference.

As my understanding and interests in gestalt therapy evolve, so do different sections strike me differently.

Zinker is a coach, who leans over my shoulder as I consider my approach to helping others. The tone is unequivocal: encouraging and articulate.

Zinker has been been immersed in the field to such depths that his writing shows evidence of integration of his findings. He covers gestalt therapy; a difficult topic to write about. He spells out his findings about working with families and does so in an aesthetic, almost spiritual.

Yet, I also find the book written with an intellectual rigour that invites revisiting. It's written in a can-do, leading edge manner.

This is a magazine style book of 64 pages. It is light on text, but every page is illustrated with a beautiful colour photo of costumes for the Costume Institue from the Met Museum of Art in NY. The costumes range from a lovely embroidered 17th century dress to the beautiful evening dresses produced by the leading designers of the 1950's.

This book is worth every cent for the photo content. Many a more expensive book has less to offer.
