Parent Must Read
If your family is busy like most of us, or if you just need to learn how to connect with your child, you must read this book. James Williams let's the reader look inside his family life and how he handled different situations. This book reads like a novel! Finally, a book that helps with all types of children, not just the strong-willed child, but all different personalities.

I learned all lot from this book, how to see through my childs eyes and to really listen to them. We need to learn these tools early in life so they will come to us when they are facing difficult times.

This book shows partents how to stop fighting over things that we want our children to be responsible for. Mr. Williams gives you ideas how to put responsibilites back on the child not you, so therefore the fights stop. This has helped our family to really have a relaxing dinner time.


The Perfect War: The War We Couldn't Lose and How We Did

Very informative, thought provoking
Gibson's thesis is that we could never have won the war because we tried to see the Vietnamese on our terms instead of theirs. The Vietnam War was what he refers to as a "Technowar" -- since strength in the Western world has its basis in technology, we often have a tendancy to assume that is the same everywhere. This is what we did with our enemies in Vietnam -- we could not recognize their strengths because they were not like us. Because we had a stronger technological base, we thought there was no way we could lose the war, and ironically this way of thinking was a great contributer to our failures in Vietnam.

Orphan Homes of Scotland
Quarrier's Village Inverclyde, also known as Quarrier's Homes, this village was built in the late 19th Century by the philanthropist William Quarrier who aimed to care for 'destitute children', mainly from Glasgow; it also became a centre to care for people with epilepsy. Today about 200 people are cared for by the Quarrier's Homes organisation. There is a craft centre, coffee house, museum and heritage trail for visitors. William Quarrier 1829 - 1903 - Founder of Quarrier's Homes for orphans in Scotland. Born in Cross Shore Street Greenock in 1829. Numerous homes in Glasgow sent destitute youngsters to Canada where receiving centres placed them within suitable families. Formed various orphan homes in Glasgow before the Orphan Homes of Scotland were built between Bridge of Weir and Kilmacolm between 1876-78. Laid out like a small town with school; post office shop; farm community and even its own hospital. In 1929 when the tenement in Cross Shore was demolished the archway entrance to the house was saved and rebuilt as the War Memorial at Quarrier's Homes.

Delbeke et al hit a home run
Textbooks are usually out of date by the time they are in print. Not so with Delbeke et al's new Practical FDG Imaging! This book is not only timely but excellent, written by outstanding clinical physicians and physicists who are also world-reknown educators. It is a very practical, "real world" book that is released at a critical time of explosive growth in FDG PET imaging. It stands alone in filling a badly needed niche in the education of imagers using this new technology.

The early chapters on the history of PET and the physics of PET are very helpful in understanding the basic science and political milieu involved in the subject. It is sad that this technology, with so much to offer suffering patients, has been held back by regulatory red tape and government shinanigans. PET still suffers in this regard to a large extent.

The later chapters are very instructive in pitfalls, normal varients, and in demonstrating "real" clinical cases, from the basic to the complicated - just as a practitioner sees in a "real life" practice of taking care of sick people.

If you are involved at any level with FDG PET imaging, I cannot recommend this book more strongly. You will find many useful pearls, broad understanding, interesting background, and exciting cases that will aid you (and your patients) immeasurably in delivery of state-of-the-art care in the foundation of 21st Century Medicine!

Well done, Delbeke and crew!

The best view of nuclear medicine(up-to-date),for all!!
I've never reviewd a book before. But i, and many other college's from here in Brazil, have felt that this book gives the best view of nuclear medicine. The language is straight foward and the topics come to us in a very simple, but important matter. This book may be used by nuclear medicine phisicians, but it may easely be read by any other phisicians or technologist's. I just hope that a new edition comes out soon aproaching new aspects of nuclear medicine like quantitative gated spect, spect-pet(FDG), scintimamography and sentinel limphnode detection and treatment. My congradulations to Mr. Palmer and to all the other contribuitor's of this magnificent book!
