It is about a boy how is afraid of animais .One day he saw a rabbit in the torn bushes.He get the rabbit out and the rabbit gave him a wish to have courage to fight a dargon. And he is not afraid anymore. It was a nice book.And I like dargons that y I piked it .And the boy wont to be brave huter like his uncle.

All the therapists out there plunking down $18 dollars for a "therapeutic book for children" should hold out for a copy of this book instead. It more beautifully and seductively illustrates a young child's triumph against a fearful monster than any other book in the professional field.

The illustrations are magickal. The text accessible to young children and adults alike. Remember ordering books purporting to be the top of the line in bibliotherapy -- and then when you got them in the mail they were black and white drawings with strained paragraphs about "coping skills" for kids? This book is a "corrective emotional experience" for those seeking a book that teaches without the use of a sledgehammer.

We need more books like these -- folklore as therapy, illustrated by non-Ph.D-ed artists!

Dr. Smith;

I read your book, "More Than Sex: Reinventing The Black Male Image", a couple of months ago, and I just had to commend you on producing a must-read capable of transforming the lives of black men-and I'm speaking from personal experience. I am a 40-year-old, soon-to-be divorced, devoted father of three. I've been separated from my wife for more than two years (our second separation) and celibate for all of that time, as I began to cope with the frustrating realization that I had been a consistent failure in my attempts to establish the kind of lasting, fulfilling, healthy, loving relationship with a woman that I've longed for since I was a little boy. I am the oldest of four children of divorced parents. I haven't seen my father since I was 12, and with the exception of my paternal grandparents, there are few, if any, examples of healthy marital relationships among the aunts and uncles on either side of my family. I knew what I was looking for in a marriage; I have only during the past two years come to realize that I hadn't a clue as to how to achieve it. That is, until I read "More Than Sex."

After reading your book, I've simultaneously:

1) gained a clear understanding of the choices I made, and their consequences, that led to a failed 14-year marriage, 2) recognized patterns of behavior that pretty much doomed the long-term health and survival of my past romantic relationships with women, 3) learned how to recognize and avoid unhealthy relationship behaviors in myself and in potential partners (and thus allowed one potentially destructive, post-marital relationship to end, and subsequently resisted the temptation--based almost entirely on physical attraction-- to revive a fruitless past relationship) 4) learned what to expect and to offer to achieve the long-term, committed, healthy, loving relationship I've longed for all of my life.

As a result, for the first time in my life, I am in a relationship where I feel I have more than a clue as to what I'm doing, the motivations driving my choices and my own expectations and sense of accountability. I constantly refer to passages in your book (highlighting the most instructional sections) to avoid backsliding into old, unhealthy behaviors and to remind myself of the new, healthy relationship behaviors you reveal and I've tried to adopt. The result is truly more than sex: a level of harmony, joyous friendship, mutual trust and respect, honest communication and deep emotional intimacy that I have never experienced in any relationship. Beyond that, the sexual attraction and energy we enjoy is nothing short of mind-blowing--and we haven't even had intercourse yet! (We are between the Infatuation and Barriers of Control stages of our relationship.)

I've been recommending your book to anyone who will listen. I tell them that we think that because we fall in love, it means we know how to love, which is like thinking that because we sometimes get caught in rainstorms, we know how to swim. Thanks to you, I've learned that love is a feeling, but loving is a choice. Thanks to you, I have a better understanding of who, how and why I choose to love.

Thank you, and thank God for inspiring you to write this book..............

I just finished Dr. Smith's book, and I have to tell you, it's really quite interesting! The author talks frankly about Black men and how they are driven by their sexuality. Anger, impotence, self-esteem, and their relationships with Black women are discussed. Perhaps the most wonderful part of the book would be the story about Dr. Smith himself. He is a Black man who came from an impoverished home, his father dying in prison and having an uneducated mother to becoming a physician. He shares true stories from patients that he's met throughout the years, and many of them I can identify with. It's about time someone talked about Black men with candor!

Thanks for writing such a wonderful book!

This is a phenomenal text written by the rising stars of neuro-op. It will soon be the new gold standard.

A much more user friendly and updated version of the smaller Walsh & Hoyt text. The pictures are excellent and the discussions are well supported by clinical experience and the literature.

Interesting. I never thought that I would enjoy POETRY as much as I did from reading this book. It's definitely not like the old storybook poetry that I use to loath. It's refreshing and gives a clear understanding to what I myself may have been going through or feeling at that 'precise moment' and it's really really good. Someone recommended the book to me and I was not, I mean I was not going to purchase a book of 'poetry'...let's just say, if I did not...it would have been the biggest mistake I could've ever made. Excellent job Stephen B Grant, hopefully someone will recognize how extremely good your work is and others will enjoy what I already know.

If you never enjoyed poetry before, you'll definitely in for a surprise. Many of the poems in this book, you can actually picture and feel what the author was saying. There were some situations that I felt myself there...at each moment...on each line. Trust me, it was definitely...Awesome Reading.

My comments will be brief, as the fine review already provided by James Heidel is accurate and complete. I intend only to convince any of those who are unsure of buying this book that this really is a great value. Simply excellent writing combined with ample information has resulted in the best book I have read about railroading.

This publication covers the complete history of the Chicago & North Western Railway from the initial charter of the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad in 1836 through the final years before the C&NW was absorbed by the Union Pacific in 1995. This work is one that a reader will come away having learned the evolution of the former C&NW and the reasons for its prominence in railroad history. It is a must have reference text for any fan of Midwest rails. Professor Grant has included numerous illustrations and b&w photographs from his personal collection and from others that have been crisply reproduced and concisely captioned. The generous footnotes and ample bibliography provided are illuminating and will offer any student of Midwest rail history an excellent starting point for a research endeavor of their own.

This book truly shows the art of a great speaker and orator. Cicero is the best!. "On government" truly develops the mind. (The book is also handy if you want to expand your vocabulary.)

Cicero is the greatest of latin writers. His knowledge is so wide. This book brings together many of his thoughts on government.This book makes it obvious how much he loved the republican form of government. Our founding fathers were widely read on Cicero's treatise's and rightly so. Excellent reading.

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.

Verne Grant, the reticent botanist from the University of Texas, has written one of the best monographs in evolutionary biology which I have ever read. It is difficult to think along the time scale of evolutionary change, and Grant's examples clarify the concepts of this unifying principle of biology. This book deserves attention at least as much as other works on the "great ideas", particularly with our modern tendency to devalue science while embracing technology. This is one of two scientific works (the other being The Conservation of Orbital Symmetry) which are permanently on my "top ten" list.

I found this book in the Schenectady, NY public library but I checked it out twice, even though I'm only interested in the genetics of plants as a casual dilletante. The examples used of Western flowers and the diagrams made the subject come alive for me. I am very grateful for finding this book.

What an appropriate name for a book of nourishing stories, those from the heart and parables of the spirit. I read Pot Likker in a few hours, savoring the lessons learned, the insights shared, and the fortitude expressed. Many of the stories exemplify the line from a spiritual, "I Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around!" The contributors all evince a right-mindedness, that sisterly and brotherly love we so desperately need to demonstrate to one another.

Hopefully, Larry and Deborah Peaks Coleman, the editors of Pot Likker, will edit more collections, for I am hooked!

The editors Larry and Deborah Coleman have done agreat job of compiling stories that relate to real life situations. As I began to read the stories I felt as if I was a part of what was being said. I picked up this book with the intent of reading only a few stories and found the book magnetic! I was drawn to continue reading, I enjoyed not only one story but allof the ones that I read. They made me reflect on situations in my life and allowed me to see myself. This bok is a refreshing collection of stories, that provide something for everyone. I recommend that every that every educator, parent and instructor have this as part of their collection. If this were a pot of soup, I'd be tipping the pot to be sure to get every drop.
