This history lesson picks up where "A Constitutional Journal" leaves off. The Constitution has been written and agreed to by the members of the Convention of 1787, but it is not the legal foundation of the new Federal government until it has been ratified by 9 of the 13 newly-independent States. Mr. St. John's presentation and writing style -- as a newspaper reporter writing the news of the day -- captures the drama, including more than a few political shenanigans, and sense of urgency to ratify the proposed Constitution to maintain a cohesive union of the new United States of America. A great way to learn the most essential part of American history -- essential because we live it today. I urge you and your high school-aged children to read it.

This is a thorough description, by one of the main investigators, of the 1983 murders of 11-year-old Ricky Stetson, 13-year-old Danny Joe Eberle, and 12-year-old Chris Walden by John Joubert in Bellvue, Nebraska.

This is an exellent piece of work, still of major importance for understanding recurrent abdominal pain in childhood.

Nobody in my classroom wanted to read this book because it's a learning book. But when I saw it and picked it up, I knew it was my soulmate. This book has taught me a lot about loving God, being kind to others, and especially loving and respecting your family. And that's why I think other children should read this book. And I hope that they'll enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you.

Every child must learn to confront the cultural differences that surround them at some point and Mr. Wilcox's book provides a wonderful gateway to this confrontation. Its primary thrust of essential similarities in individual's lives despite the culturally different expressions of those lives is an increasingly vital lesson as the distances between cultures world-wide shrinks. The art that accompanies the story is expressive and accurate and perfectly acceptable for children of all ages. The book belongs on every parents bookshelf and will inevitably be handed down through the generations.

Hey... if your Mom wrote a book on Clinical Management of Diabetes, wouldn't you give it 5 stars too?

Perloff and Child's book Congenital Heart Disease in Adults provides excellent clinical information on the special needs and concerns faced in caring for adults with CHD. I found the section on cyanotic CHD particularly useful and referred my primary care physician to it.

This is a must read for all educators. This book tells the stories of many children that may be sitting in classrooms all over the world. Listen to their stories and pay attention to the children in your life. I wish someone would have asked me what was wrong when I was growing up.

I write this review with a heavy heart. My name is Sally Richards and I was the agent on this project. I was a personal friend of the late Don Richard and helped him conceive this book idea. Don Richard and co-author John Brodie worked very hard through this material that you may find difficult to read. But, this book may very well save your child's life. Even though I don't have children, after reading this book I now tell friends (who are parents) about things that they never considered risks before. I'm not talking about being paranoid, I'm talking about protecting your children from preditors who walk among us. It's a fact. 140,000 names were listed in the Department of Justice missing Person's Clearing House, about a third of those were children.

There are people who find your children a great temptation for their sexual fantasies and murderous thoughts. That's a fact. All you need to do is read the long lists of child predators who have been released into your neighborhoods (you can go to your local police department and demand a list) to know that this is not paranoia. These people cannot be "cured," and often when one is captured for an abduction, they're often repeat offenders. There was something in their past that pointed clearly to the fact that they would become pedophiles, or one day be capable of murder. Arm yourself with this book and the study of cases and predator behaviors and you will be in a better position to identify risks and protect your children.

The words inside this book may be difficult to read; these pages tell the story of the many years of research Don and John conducted that details the thoughts and actions of men who treat children as objects of sexual pleasure. When I did the first round of editing on this book, I remember thinking how terrified I would be if raising a child in these times. Don and John were very close to their work and, at times, I had to tell them to back away, to be objective, but it was even hard for me to not loathe the people they were writing about. Finally, we came up with a book we thought told the story in a fair and helpful way that educates parents about the patterns and methods of child abductors/molesters.

Read this book and keep your children safe.

California Senator Richard Rainey, John Philpin, PhD, Forensic Psychologist, Francis Koopman, Esq., Lieutenant NYPD (retired) and US Senator Dianne Feinstein all endorse this book.

Proceeds from this book will go to the Amber Foundation for Missing Children
