First off, the pictures inside this packet do not look like the pictures you see here. They are high quality artwork however, and incredibly useful for illustrating stories on flannel graphs and felt boards. The figures punch out, so you don't need scissors. They are covered on the back with flocking which makes them stick to flannel boards perfectly. The stories in here are: The 7 days of Creation, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve getting kicked out of Eden, Cain and Abel, Noah, The Rainbow, The Tower of Bable, and small short lesson which shows how Abram traces his lineage back through Shem,Noah, and Seth, all the way to Adam. This last lesson is rather useless for children, but adults who are into following Biblical lineages would really go for it. The only detail I dislike about this product is that Eve is drawn in a slightly deceitful way, suggesting the first woman was evil instead of tempted which as a ranting feminist I was a bit disturbed by. Personally I used an ink pen to soften up her mouth and eyes a little, to make her look more maternal and friendly, so she would better appeal to the children. The figures will tear if handled roughly so be careful about letting the children handle them. The figures are about 11 to 12 inches high, the perfect size for 24" by 36" standard size flannel graphs. Oh, one more thing, included in a useful little pamphlet to help you tell the story, and show you were to place the pictures when you tell the story. I love these things, and use them almost every Sunday.

Great book! An absolute treasure for all UGA Alumni.

I found Pictures of Adam in my school libarary and checked it out with absoulty no intention of ever reading it. It must of been a gift from God that I finished my other book because Pictures of Adam very well may be the best book I have ever read. Reading about Adam and Lisa really...Oh I don't know how to explain...I actually had a yearning to be Lisa. How romantic would it be to have a boyfreind who told you he never kissed a girl and who actually cried in front of you? I was really upset with Lisa for not being more understanding when Adam took one of her mother's paper weights. Its not his fault his sister has nothing to play with but junk and only wanted for her to be happy. For crying out loud they have an outhouse and a dirt floor! But I'm glad they got back together. They really do belong with eachother. I don't want to give anything else away but I'm upset that you can't rate a book higher than 5 stars. Well all I have to say is if you don't read this book your missing out on a huge thrill.

Pink Lemonade is an autobiographical book that almost anyone can identify with in one way or another. In an effort to offer encouragement to others, Samantha Adams courageously compiled her collection of journal writings, poems, stories and illustrations and presents them for all to see. While unashamedly recounting the pitfalls of an enabler/caretaker, she ends the book with a fictional story ("November Flowers") that clearly shows what most enablers yearn for most of their lives: appreciation, love and meaning in a long-term relationship. But in keeping with the ongoing pattern of the rest of the book, it, too, ends with loss. She is also clear in pointing out that enabler/caretakers usually suffer just the losses, without the hoped-for rewards. This contrast is shown in her poignant poem, "The Abortion." It is almost painful to read.

Because of the nature of the writings, spread out over many years and interspersed with fictional accounts and poetry, the pace seems, at first glance, to be a bit uneven as it outlines Samantha's struggles and minor victories to break free of the patterns she seems to be locked into. At times she is almost unbearably straightforward, and at others somewhat self-protective and veiled. But taken as a whole, it hangs together well, and gives the between-the-lines reader a well rounded look at Samantha Adams, aka any woman. I not only recommend it, but also applaud Samantha's candid sharing and wish her well in her quest for genuine pink lemonade.

in searching for a book that 1. specifically targeted the Pittsburgh area 2. had a reliable/trustworthy listing of prominent companies (instead of complining one myself), the Pittsburgh Job Bank fulfilled my demands exactly. the brief but extremely tip-filled and concise guide to job-seeking was a pleasant surprise and added value. the companies listing itself is neatly divided into primary industry segments. though my search for Mechanical Engineering-related companies was not precisely hit, the Automotive and Gas/Energy/Manufacturing industries were close and the listing of professional organizations in those fields closed in on my hunt. the listings also caused me to brainstorm about my choices into companies and areas i'd never have otherwise considered.

If you want to do better than just pass step 1, you have to read more than First Aid for the Boards. I would recommend this series as a great complement to enhance your understanding and knowledge of important, high yield topics for the exam. This volume is a good representation of what the series is like - concise, high yield, and containing lots of good figures and photos. The case explanations are fantastic and pragmatic.

Wonderful review series for USMLE Step 1 preparation. This volume in particular lives up to its name, with outstanding case presentations and explanations that make sure you understand the underlying pathophysiology concepts. Memorization was not as important as key concept understanding on my exam, and this book, as well as the rest of the series, contained the high-yield info that was on my exam (took 6 weeks ago).

My score ended up being higher than I had hoped for, and I give much of the credit to this book and the rest of the series. Strongly recommend for Step 1 review!

Word for word, the best book ever. I loved the ending: "I will never pinch you or crawl in you ear. So, let's be pals." I believed him when he said that. This book is appropriate for all ages. Did you know that earwigs have wings, but prefer not to fly? If you didn't, you need this book. Ten pages.

Adam's "Pocket Guide to Self-Hypnosis" is a small book on a powerful topic. His theories on our own abilities and responsibilities in self-healing and creating our own success are clearly outlined and his format is easy to implement. He includes a suggested script outline that can be tailored to meet your specific needs. I have noticed significant results since putting his ideas to work toward my goals. It can work for you, too!

I have lived in the Poconos all my life and know many of the people interviewed in this book. Not only are the tales and legends a great read, they are highly accurate in terms of history and geography. The author(s) manage to capture the character of the interviewees without taking away from the "ghostly" content. Whether it is ghosts, or the region you are interested in, I highly recommend it.....

Beautifully articulated with a step-by-step explication regarding the sketchbook approach to the pedagogical analysis of poetry, especially attributed in the poems "Schoolbus Wreck" and "For Pa." The authoress has clearly mastered all facets of poetry--definitely not a half-poet.
