I have read the two Owen Foote books that she has written so far and they are both ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!!!!!!! Even though I am 13 I have read both many times. The lessons in life they taught me are spectacular and I learned so much about how to be a nice homo sapien. I wish Stephanie would write many more books in this spectacular series!!!!!!!!!

I am the authors son, Oliver who is meant to be the inspiration for her writing the Owen Foote series. I think that my mom is pretty good at understanding children like me and trying to write realistically. She does not know that I am writing this, but I hope one day she will see it. I remember the happy day when she sold the book, and I am proud for her. I think that all young soccer players will enjoy this book.

As a psychologist, clients who are parents are frequently concerned about ways to communicate some of the strengths they gained by being in therapy to their children. They want to communicate some of the values and lessons of emotional intelligence in a palatable way. This book really succeeds in addressing some of the important issues and in providing fun ways of teaching them to children

I really have enjoyed this book. The projects have many great qualities. They help build character, make a child feel great because of what the can accomplish, and give them a way to feel creative. My son needed help with self esteem. They had many projects that help to boost self esteem. This book is a must for all parents. It is so full of things you can do with your children, you will not even need another book

This short story collection is an awesome addition to any horror fans library. The stories all involve southern folk in weird, sometimes scary and othertimes side-splittingly hilarious situations. The stories are a fast read, well-written, entertaining, and enlightening. David Whitman has a true gift for dialogue and dark comedy and is surely a rising star. I truly enjoyed the colleciton and know if you take a gamble, you won't be disappointed.

This is a pretty unusual collection (I can't recall the last time I saw a collection dedicated to the folks from this often forgotten aspect of society) but well-deserving of notice for its eclectic flavor. Pick it up for some fine entertainment and a great addition to your collection of books.

The Brutal Introduction...
to the NIGHTSCAPER'S SERIOUSLY DARK AND DISTURBED dementia:
This disturbing collection is written by a star that glimmers through nightscapes and nightmares; she's seriously dark and disturbed... and brutally wicked! Exceptional book and I highly recommend it.

This fiendish authoress, Nora Weston will enlighten you on the blackest of nights where silence looms over you and her ethereal words will caress you with each tease of the candlelight. She'll envelope you into her world.

You've not been in the entrails of darkness, until... you have been bathed with these seriously dark and disturbed nightscapes from Nora Weston. She'll cradle you seductively in "Touched by the Devil" and then send your soul straight to Hell as you plead for mercy in "Drakken - Dark Knight of Death". Journey through the pages brave reader, through these hellish pleasures from the ultimate panic-stricken one; one that is seriously dark and disturbed, the Nightscaper!

Don't be frightened to voyage into her dementia as she leads you through these maddening memoirs of her bloodthirsty fantasies. Fear not, she'll will only take you where you will indulge your passions and soothe you bruised egos with a fictional love affair for abused, sad, Rachael. One of my favorite tales in the book: "Crimson Knight" which is also the first piece of work I ever read of Nightscaper's. She knew then she had me in her evil clutch and spell-bound for more. This story was ferociously told and tightly written. Then the baneful authoress surprised me. It wasn't much later, after reading "Crimson Knight", she sent me the dazzler called: "Black Masquerade".

And then I realized when I received Nightscaper's collection, that she was just tantalizing me. I had no idea just how dark... how disturbed... Nightscaper was; until I read some of her poetry she included in this assortment works. I felt I was in an unyielding tempest of her dark cravings tinged with "Red Rain" and many other vivid dreamlike scenes that causes much anxiety in the one she bestows her trickery on through her unique prose.

Beware, she's very cunning and will have you as a devoted reader of her nightscares within a flash, she also included five quick glimpses into her darkest pits of despair.

If I had to pick my very favorite tale from this menagerie of The Dark One's severest writings, I'd choose "Touched by the Devil" because I love a good steamy story from deathly depths of Hades. Who are you craving in your dreams, Nightscaper? Readers and dreamers alike be wary, according to Nightscaper your dream lover just might be more than a nightmare.

You will be entranced and not allowed to leave her dark and disturbed world until the final page. Open the book, turn the page, and remember: You've been warned, contents are seriously dark and disturbed.

Seriously Dark and Disturbed ...

Nora's poems,stories and flash fiction tales illustrate the dark side of humanity (the "disturbed" side), but then they
also reflect how each main character chooses to resolve their conflict between the dark vs. light. Each tale
allows you to understand the main character's plight,
and, whether you intended to or not, you question if you,
the reader, would have made the same choice.

This book was a wonderful story of the power of spiritual healing. In this day and age when the first thing the media does is to tell us to take medicines and some doctors treat us as if we were cars in for repair, this book takes a holistic approach of self healing. Catherine gives us explicit steps to the process. This book is very healing just in the reading.

If ever there was a need for guidance, the time is now! The book "Ten Steps To Spiritual Healing" is a book for our times. Not only does it give body healing ,but soul healing guild lines. It is easy to read and follow and holds a wealth of insite. I recommend it to all in need of hope and guildance in these changing times.

A very well-written book, with all thermodynmical concepts explained clearly and with appropriate examples. Exercises are extensive and cover in full detail all the material at the end of each chapter. Though expensive, definitely worth the investment. The statistical mechanics part is greatly entertaining and an enjoyable read. All in all, text is well-balanced. Should become the prescribed text for all introductory course in Thermal Physics.

This is the best introductory thermo, stat mech book available. Very clear with a nice set of problems.

I spent my youth in Westport,Connecticut. My sister gave me a copy of the book for Christmas and I was thoroughly impressed with the simple approach the author (photographer) took in creating a beautiful journey down memory lane. Anyone who loves New England would enjoy the quality of this charming photographic essay of a very special town.

Great photos of a beautiful town on the Connecticut side of Long Island Sound; captures the essence of Westport -- its architecture and natural beauty; superb photo quality; terrific photographic eye; a must buy for anyone who loves Westport and similar New England towns; a great stocking stuffer!!!

Most introductory ethics textbooks focus on the usual suspects: relativism, egoism, and the major competing ethical theories. In most, a discussion of ethical reasoning is limited to the first chapter of the book. In this expanded version of his previously published *A Practical Companion to Ethics*, Weston provides us with an introduction to ethics that places ethical *reasoning* at the forefront. The traditional material is also given some air time, but always in line with Weston's goal of teaching his readers how to *think* ethically.
Weston's book is a treasure for anyone coming to ethics in a formal manner for the first time. Much of what we see concerning "ethics" is, at best, intellectually sloppy. Weston's book provides us with a set of skills that can be adopted to make ethical reasoning a lot less sloppy, to the sure advantage of everyone. Some of the topic areas include: use of loaded language, how to reframe ethical problems, how to reconclie conflicting values, how to keep ethical debate from bogging down in the mire, how to use theories to make ethical decisions, and how to form novel solutions to ethical problems. His pedagogy is strengthened by his focus, in the last section of the book, on several current ethical issues, which are analyzed using the skills Weston provides in the earlier sections.
Some say skills can't be taught by reading, but Weston's book comes awfully close to putting the lie to this old saw. The activities at the end of each chapter provide both students, teachers, and laypersons with much meat on which to chew, making this an ideal textbook on ethical reasoning. Anyone interested in thinking better about ethics, which should be everyone, can profit greatly from this book, whatever their experience. But for those coming to the field for the first time, Weston's book is indispensible.

Middle school is tough enough without being in the spotlight.
Act 1, Act 2, Act Normal hits the mark for middle schoolers and
their multitude of concerns. A very funny and delightful ride
down the road to growing up your own way.
