This book has a lot of useful information to girls ages eleven to eighteen, but some subjects may be a bit advanced for some. There's safe facts about drugs and a helpful quiz to help you get the information about smoking cigarettes. But there's a section in BODY that has information about inserting tampons and things of such sort. This may be advanced fro some, but overall this book is helpful, informative, and very useful if you need to know the facts that some girls aren't so sure about. I give it thumbs up!

How Prayer Heals is what I have been looking for all my life. It provides detailed data on research studies. It draws a scientic picture of how prayer heals. It expands on the implications of the scientific data. It tells how to achieve predictable and consistent healing outcomes.

Steiglitz is one of the great masters of the art of photography. Married to producing quality material, his work will never be "out of style." In addition, today's media obsessed population can find excitement in the stories of his personal life with Georgia O'Keefe. So it seems as though there's something for all.

The less-than-perfect ranking is simply because Weston's work has been superseded in many areas by modern Arthurian scholars. This study of the Perceval legend is still one of the few places you can find a thorough overview of the entire collection of Grail stories that feature Sir Perceval as the hero. Weston includes many variants that are hard-to-find, unusual, and obscure. Her love of the Celtic-origin hypothesis and her pet notion that folklore and myth developed from ancient rituals color most of her commentary. Even so, the study was influential in its day and still holds value for the modern scholar.

I has this book for a Graduate college managerial finance class and regret ever selling it back at the end of the semester. Steve

We used this book for an art history course at Yale University, on art, architecture, and design from 1890 to 1940. The book is great! Usually I find the survey sort of book - covering something so wide and expansive as MODERNISM - to get bogged down in cliches or neat little epigrams for quick consumption, but there's no cursory cute treatment here. Weston covers a lot - he's great on explaining theories and movements of design etc but also gives appropriate history, politics, and culture. And that's good, because I like to know what Ezra Pound is thinking about modernism, as it happens. It takes you through time and space nicely - painting, architecture, advertisement, furniture, etc - and you don't feel as if you missed out on anything. Plus the illustrations/photographs are beautiful - I spent so much time just in love with the book for that. Not only is it helpful, but the writing is clear and intelligent, sometimes funny, and irreverent if necesssary.

Not the most spectacular translation in the world, but this is still the only place I know that you can find a volume dedicated to this obscure medieval Arthurian Romance. Weston's commentary is useful, though somewhat colored by the ideas of her day (many of which have been superseded by modern Arthurian scholarship).

When Nate the Great went to San Francisco to visit his cousin Olivia, he couldn't spot her feather boa in the crowd at the airport. Instead, a chauffeur named Willie with a sign that said NATE THE GREAT picked him up. Willie escorted Sludge and "Mr. Great" to the limo, explaining that Olivia is on a case. While Nate (Mr. Great)waited for Olivia, he answered her phone and decided to help on the case of Duncan's missing joke book, named Joke Stew. Readers will enjoy retracing Duncan's steps back to the pancake house, the bookstore, and finally finding the book in the cookbook section. Thus, it was no longer the end of the world for Duncan, who can meet his 2 o'clock deadline for telling a joke. Illustrations are colorful and attractive, and truly in the style of Marc Simont, maintaining the right feel for young readers. The challenge of staying one step ahead of Nate and Sludge, as well as the reading of this easy reader, will be a mind sharpener for beginning readers. Buy!

All the books in this series are user friendly and the activities use materials that you have on hand. I have often referred to them when trying to occupy my 3 year old son in a way that is also fun for me. In fact we played the float-a-boat game today. In addition to the actual activity, the author also gives little hints designed to improve your child's problem solving skills. My only disappointment is that these books are not as readily available as they once were.

I used this book as a basic introduction to Ethics with an introductory class. The easy to read and concise nature of the author was very helpful. The book wouldn't stand alone, but very useful as a supplementary text. Good sections in back for students and teachers. The section on Values Conflict is also good. I definitely would use this book again.
