With the return of his old neighbor ("Uncle" Joey Ciprelli, who had been in a mental hospital for the past 10 years), 14-year-old Matt Howard unexplainably starts having nightmares about his older sister's (Penny) murder, which occurred shortly before Uncle Joey was committed. What exactly happened all those years ago? And what is the link between Matt's creepy next-door neighbor and his dead sister? Matt's soon about to find out when Penny comes back from the grave to avenge her murder.

"Grave Doubts" is ideal for preteens since it's short (153 pages), has a few effectively creepy black-and-white illustrations and a terrific surprise ending; yet it's complex enough to interest older readers as well. The other five books in this series worth checking out: "Night Wings" (#1), "Blood Wolf" (#2), "Alien Prey" (#4), "Dead End" (#5), and "Ghost Lake" (#6).

This book is excellently written To be an invaluable to to anyone interested in rebuilding a General Motors automatic transmission. It gives a good theoretical base to start from, describes the needed tools, and give excellent step by step instructions.

The only negative thing that I can say about this manual is that it only covers four models. Covered are the TH 200-4R, TH 700-R4 TH 350,and the TH 400. Also, only the mechanical versions of the four speed transmissions are covered.

Since these are probably the most common models, these limitations don't really decrease the value of this book. Definatly a must have addition to any true Motor Head's book collection.

This is one of my favorite books to read to my daughter. The story, (although changed a bit from the original), has a depth to it that can only be felt first hand. The illustrations wonderfully set an enchanted mysterious world, and speak to a part of the soul rarely touched by the average children's fairy tale.

Clare is a true poet, and strangely neglected currently it seems. Really he is one of the essential poets of the wonderful romantic era which includes Wordsworth, Shelley, Blake, Coleridge, and Keats. Why is this just about the only book of his work being published? I think you're lucky to find this one, and you can find many poems of his on the web to see yourself. Cheers

Excellent portrayal of feelings experienced by a child who has been sexually abused by her own father. I have used this book for sexual abuse prevention programs conducted for fifth-graders, and they were very engaged by the narrative. I wish this book were in all middle school libraries, so that children experiencing this same loneliness and pain would be empowered to reach out for help. Written in a sensitive, non-graphic manner, the message in this book is encouraging and hopeful. Special bonuses are the almost poetic voice and imagery and the outstanding illustrations. Highly recommended!

The New Wildfowler is not only the biggest waterfowling book I have read, it is also one of the very best. The chapters on duck hunting, goose hunting, punt gunning and inland marsh shooting are particularly comprehensive and the attention paid to population dynamics and ecology are very welcome. With contributions by over 30 of the world's leading waterfowling experts, this really is a book in a million.

John Peel is one of the greatest writers to ever grace bookstores with his works. His "Shockers" series is no exception. The best in the series was "Dead End," and this one, "Night Wings," was not bad.

All of the Ozstory books are great, but this one is the greatest of all, in my opinion. It has things by Shanover, Baum, Thompson, all the Oz greats. There are new stories and old ones. Comic book types and traditional story formats. This is truly a fun book that every Oz collector needs! I recommend it very enthusiastically!

Oz-story #6 is the annual anthology of stories, comics and verse generated by L. Frank Baum's legendary "Land of Oz" books. This wonderful, large format collection features contributions by L. Frank Baum, Eloise Jarvis McGraw, Harlan Ellison, Philip Jose Farmer, Ruth Plumly Thompson, Glenn Ingersoll, Eric Shanower and others. Oz-story #6 is profusely and charmingly illustrated by the work of John R. Neil, Eric Shanower, Anna-Maria Cool, Marge, and others. There are comic panels by Walt Spouse, Steve Lieber, Tommy Kovac, Steven Weisman, W.W. Denslow and others. The center piece is perhaps L. Frank Baum's "Annabel", his least known children's novel which was originally published in 1906 and presents a rags-to-riches story of a young boy who finally wins the girl! With its flawless and pains-taking production values, Oz-story #6 is a "must" for all Oz enthusiasts of all ages.

In detailing the largest and most significant research study of its type (i.e. The MacArthur Study of Mental Disorder and Violence), Rethinking Risk Assessment describes what is surely to become the seminal work in the area violence and mental illness. The authors point to the methodological flaws in many earlier studies that failed to establish clear links between mental illness and violence. It moves beyond previous studies to point to a clear link between serious mental illness and an increased risk of violence.

Although based upon a North American population (i.e. with its higher societal rates of violence generally) the size of the study, and the relationships it demonstrates suggest that this work has significant implications for other jurisdictions. The book illustrates tools clinicians can use to assist with identification of those with higher for risk of violence.

Although actuarial methods do not offer a panacea for problems associated with risk prediction, they nevertheless provide pointers for increasing the precision with which such assessments can be made. Monahan et. al. acknowledge the limitations of such methods, and point to the complexity of clinical risk assessment for violence potential. The authors also point to the broader contextual, and problematic issues associated with false positives and negatives, in terms of prediction.

Armed with the information contained within this text, clinical staff will have a thorough grounding in the most up to date evidence in the field. This should provide a solid foundation from which staff can approach the complex issue of considering risk assessment generally.
