This is the funniest, cleverest, most enjoyable book I have ever read. I recommend it unequivocally.

Read it, Loved it, Saw Others do the same! Want more from Wallace

This text is Dr.Grant's legacy to the study of periodontology and clinical practice of periodontics. He was the senior author on this text for more than thirty years. He was a world renowned lecturer, researcher and practitioner. He continued teaching and research until four months prior to his death in April of 1998. Many of his research papers are required reading in classical periodontal literature for periodontal residents. His text remains a wealth of knowledge and instruction for clinical practice. His eulogy was published in the Journal of Periodontology in August of 1998. It details many of his accomplishments as well as the high regard in which he was held by his colleagues.

Recommended in "A Basic List of Recommended Books and Journals for Support of Clinical Dentistry in a Nondental Library" in Bulletin Of the Medical Library Association, July 1997.

Daniel Grant, Caroll Michell's and Tad Crawford are the names to know for any artist looking for clear, consise art advice. This book covers a broad range of art topics and offers good advice grounded in the reality of the art world. It's a great book whether you are an art student still in school or a professional looking for some new inspiration.

I've read a dozen grant writing books, and this one offers the whole package. Notable strengths of this book include:

1) Get the organization behind your fund raising effort. Barber hits where others miss by consistently illustrating the importance building support for your grant internally, throughout the organization. Only experienced grant writers know how important this is.

2) The dreaded budget. The bottom line in proposal evaluation is the budget. It must be easy to comprehend, be realistic and professional-looking. This book offers important tips on calculating overhead, in direct costs, and bottom-up budgeting that I have seen in no other grant writing text.

3) "Comprehensive Guide": This book (and accompanying disk) offers template materials as well as the historical and philosophical back ground of public funding and philanthropic giving. The book as a whole is important to understanding the nature of fund raising through grants while providing practical advice on how to get that important project funded.

I keep this book nearby and use often for reference.

Although not being completely satisfied with the "succeed" part of the title, I have no problem giving this book a 5-star (or perhaps a 4.5-star to be strict) rating. It is a tell-all book for artists at any level.

The book covers basically all the phases in the development of an artist's career life; from training to becoming famous and wealthy. The author does a thorough job discussing the pro's and con's of each solution to the needs of the artists to obtain training, as well as to market their work. For instance, comparisons are made between getting a formal training (art degree) at Universities and other options such as participating in workshops, continuing study programs, correspondence classes, and self-teaching using art instruction books and videocassettes. Using the same approach, the author moves on to discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of renting a studio vs. having a studio at home, along with other issues such as studio safety and insurance. Other issues such as exhibiting one's work, framing, shipping artworks, how to get involved in art clubs, how to overcome mental blocks and seek artistic inspiration, success stories, etc. are also discussed in great detail. In addition, a nice appendix including information about art dealers and art supplies stores at the end of the book makes the book complete.

In closing, this is the book that every artist will find something "hits home" when reading it. The only thing that I might complain about the book is that the appendix does not provide internet addresses of the stores/dealers cited, considering a lot of these stores do have internet sites, some of which I am a regular client of.

I am a first gade teacher who is always looking for new approaches to teaching, especially topics that can be dry--sorry folks--like phonics. This book, "More Phonics Through Poetry," like the first book, "Phonics Through Poetry" affords me some great materials for shared reading which stress specific sounds (and also endings, contractions, and prefixes and suffixes) by repeating them in delightful poetry. The sounds in this book are more difficult than in the first and include consonant digraphs, blends, diphthongs, etc. While some of the poems were obviously written for this purpose, most of them can be applied to a theme as well as to a targeted sound. In addition to the two to three poems per sound, there are other ideas for uses for the poems, blackline masters for use with them, and the cross-references to help you use the poems with themes. This book will definitely help you "work smarter, not harder."

I am an EMT-B instructor in West Virginia and have used this edition to teach my classes. I have found it to be a great improvement over previous editions. The text is easy to read, comprehensive and all-in-all an excellent text on EMT-B. My only gripe with the book is that it makes prehospital patient assessment somewhat confusing for new students. The book breaks patient assessment up into several chapters, giving the reader the impression that assessment is both difficult and complicated. This lack of single-chapter continuity coupled with the trepidation many new students bring to this module creates the impression that patient assessment is a disjointed, randomized activity. I have to tell my students that for patient assessment, these chapters are a good reference, but that I will tell them just how easy assessment is; TAKE NOTES!

If Brady would spend a little more time examining this module, I feel as though they can make it a little less imposing and a little more readable.

I am a student interested in becoming an EMT. I know the people at the local fire station so I asked them for a resource book and they gave me a 6th edition of this manual and it is proving to be an excellent resource. It has many pictures and at the beginning of each chapter, it gives a real life scenario for you to focus on for the chapter and explains objectives you should know by the end of the chapter. I've found it very informative and hope that the 8th edition follows in its footsteps. Well done Brady!

I have been teaching the EMT-B class for more than 10 years. I have found that this 8th Edition Brady book is the best available. This text prepares my students not only to pass the State and National exams, but also very useful for the real world!

Tad Crawford has written many useful books for working artists. This book primarily focuses on the state laws for all 50 states. It has some info on the nuts and bolts of gallery/artist interactions and good examples of sample contracts, but overall I was disappointed.

Most of the book focuses on reciting the state statutes. I would have liked more "juice" on navigating the minefield that can occur in artist/dealer relations. Of course, a contract should allow an artist to avoid such messes, but more examples of things going wrong even with contracts would have been useful. It is a good reference book if you are past the point of no return and need to know the legalities of your particular state so you can proceed accordingly. I found Tad Crawfords other books more useful.

I own a small gallery because I love art and artists, but I was not prepared for the variety of business and legal headaches that this field could produce. During yet another frantic call to my attorney, she recommended this book to me and life has been considerably calmer ever since.

Let's face it: art is a business and if you are an artist or a gallery owner, you can't afford to be without this information. I use this book to maintain records; I check paperwork against it before visiting my accountant; I use its sample forms and agreements every time I get the place ready for a new exhibit; and I follow this book's advice with every sale and display we make. This book should be required reading for everyone who has anything to do with art consignment...

I did like the Grant Hill book ,but I thought it could have been longer. I like learning about Grant Hill he is a awsome player! I think if you want to do a autobiografe on Grant Hill you should read this book. It gives good facts about Grant,and its not hard to read. There are about 6 characters in the book that all play important part in Grant's career. I can't say it was the best book I've ever read but it gets a good spot. I would recamend anyone to this book if you are interested in Garant Hill.

If you want to know about Calvin Hill (Grants Father), buy this book. If you want to know about The history of Grants career, buy this book. If you want to know how Grant got his First name buy this book. If you want to learn about how to get Grant to the altar, buy some other book. This is a good book for a fan of the man's game, and his real personality. If you are a lust crazed fan trying to findout if he has a girlfriend, or what his ideal woman is like please don't buy this book, it will only make you angry. This book is a good book, for a fan of the man and the game, not just a fan of the man.

This romantic comedy by Daniel Conway was absoloutely superb. The character of baby Alexandia was my favourite as she was a talking baby with a strange disability, she has wheels instead of feet. There were other interesting characters such as Bessy the poisenious mark that could talk and fly.

Even though this book was fantastic it was great.
