I have been a Critical Care nurse for more than 15 years and find this book to be one of the best at delivering the facts in a percise and readable manner. I have been recommending it to "new hires" in the Unit at my facility since I first found it.

I am a BSN nursing student who has a multitude of books containing information needed to complete clinical paperwork, dragging all of these books back and forth to clinicals was back breaking, this book is a must for any student, it's pocket size and wealth of information is worth every penny paid. I wish the authors would come up with a book like this for every area. I highly recommend this book, and will look forward to others of it's kind

I'm Canadian (but not First Nations) and laughed so much during the first of these cassettes that I had to stop and buy all of them. The humour is consistent, the delivery is excellent, and the topics are hilarious - I keep listening just to find out how many different ways Jasper Friendly Bear can make Tom buy his coffee.

This is possibly the funniest audio recording I own, but if you aren't Canadian, and/or Native American you probably shouldn't bother. They are able to make me laugh even while harpooning me for behaviours I have been guilty of, and while making incredibly cynical comments on European treatment of North America's first residents. Because of the humour, they can make comments that would otherwise be harsh beyond belief. The cast also has a fine sense of the plain slapstick, and absurd presented with great comic timing. I've had to pull the car over several times while listening to it because I was laughing too hard to drive safely.

As War rages on in Europe in 1917 Kathleen "Cat" Bowen knows there is another big fight to finish at home. Her mother, sister, aunt, and many other women around her have all become suffragists to the disapproval of many men including Cat's uncle and her father. Cat and her cousin Alma want to join the picket lines but they are too young. The excitement builds as the picket lines have lasted more than a week and it seems there might be hope in the horizon! News reaches far out of the picket lines in Washington D.C. and many women from all over the United States have come to participate in the fight for the right to vote. On the homefront as the United States gets ready for war Cat sees the changes at home too as women take a much more active role in the society such as her cousin Alma who helps with the Red Cross over in Europe after running away from home and her problems . However Cat suffers a blow with the unexpected arrest of her mother. Can Cat survive more things to come?

This Adobe Reader was great! It greatly enhances the experice of reading this book with specials here and there! There were so many things to do!! Photos, videos, exerts!!! Great price for such a big package!!

It's 1917 in Washington, D.C, and as the Great War rages in Europe, thirteen-year-old Kathleen Bowen is caught up in a fight closer to home. Her mother, sister Nell, and Auntie Claire are suffragists, fighting for voting rights for women, to the disapproval of her Uncle Bayard and the worry of her father. Kat and her cousin Alma, who are the exact same age, want to help, but they are too young to join the picket line. As it begins to seem more and more likely that the United States will enter the war, life begins to change in other ways. Nell leaves to join the Women's Ambulance Corps in France, and Alma, desperate to escape after her parents' bitter divorce, runs away to England and becomes a Red Cross volunteer. But the worst hardship of all is still to come. Kat's mother is arrested, and Kat wonders how she will ever make it through this unbearable loneliness. I highly recommend this book to all fans of the Dear America series.

I've read this book over and over and have personally cooked almost every recipe. My dogs LOVE them... Thank you Deborah and Kathleen for writing such a thourough cookbook, in all of the years I have owned pets I have never had a cookbook that I have used more.

People food prepared is not good for dogs. Onions (raw or cooked) and garlic are toxic to dogs. Eating them is as serious as Chocolate. What is a natural diet for a human is NOT a natural diet for dogs and I am glad someone has finaly come out with a safe book that won't kill my dog.

I love Kathleen Gilles Seidel and have read most of her books. For people who aren't sure if they have read this one or not, it's about Victoria (Tory) a 'failed' Miss America (third runner up) who has to figure out who she is if she's not a beauty queen. Of course she finds a wonderful man (this is a romance after all!) but she also resolves her relationship with her mother and creates new relationships with her extended family. That's why I love this author - she grounds her characters in real worlds, made beautiful by love. You really hate to finish her novels. If you come across this one, grab it, it's a keeper!

...

This is, without a doubt, the best romance I have ever read. Kathleen Gilles Seidel is a master at developing characters that feel real to the reader. I love everything that she has written, but this one stayed with me long after I read it the first (of many) times. Try to find it if you can

An excellent sequel to an excellent story. With "The Dragon Reborn", Kathleen H. Nelson continues the adventures of Lathwi, the sorceress who was raised as a dragon. The gypsies play a more prominent role in this story, as does Pawl, the swordmaster of Compara. Other old friends pop up in the most unexpected ways and places. The antagonist, Seth, is a more complex villain than his predecessor, Malcolm Blackheart. And Taziem takes a stab at being human.
"The Dragon Reborn" is filled with magic, humor, and of course, dragons. It is sexier than "Daughter of Dragons", but still PG.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. You will, too.

Dragon Reborn does more than continue the adventures of Lathwi; it captures the reader and takes them for a magic-carpet ride! I laughed, cried, squirmed in my seat and cried out warnings as I turned the pages of this wonderful work. This story truly has a life of its own, and evolves of its own accord. I closed the cover a little sad for it being over!

Kathleen Delaney nails the concept of a fun, easy read! What a great book to take on a plane, read in the tub, or just enjoy from the back porch on a lazy afternoon. I loved Dying for a Change. The book quickly drew me in and I couldn't put it down until the mystery had been solved. The characters were quirky, likeable, and refreshingly real people. This is a must read for anyone who has lived through the transformation of small town America ... or for anyone that just wants to escape away for a couple hours of sheer entertainment! Great first book for the author. I loved the subtle humor and definitely look forward to more.

A fun, funny mystery with lots of red herrings. A great first.

This book is an excellent introduction to anyone looking to learn more about genetically modifyed food. I asked my husband what he thought of genetically modifyed food, he answered that "It's good isn't it? Aren't they developing food with more vitamins that will grow with fewer pesticiedes?" This would have been my answer had I not read this book. According to the author, and this reviewer, the American public doesn't realize that they're eating genetically modyfied food NOW. It's in your "Betty Croker" mix and in a bag of potatoes, it's in your polenta corn meal mix and milk. This author carefully chronicles how the EPA, FDA and USDA have failed to inform the public of this change in our food chain and worse -- the have utterly and completely failed to ensure that it's safe to both eat and grow despite public opinion to the contrary. While other industirlized nations (European Union, Japan, etc.) have instituted lableing the US has not. The documented disregard for the public's safety will have you wondering who's money is in who's pocket and exposes the biggest loophole in federal regulation.

This book is frightening. Bioengineered food is mixed into everything we eat, and, while it may be harmless to humans and the environment (though tests and "gene pollution" of the environment indicate otherwise), the huge chemical companies who created the genetically engineered crops persuaded the FDA, USDA, and the EPA to let them put the products on the market without fully testing the foods. The European Union, Japan, and, well, essentially every other country in the world refuses to import bioengineered food from the USA - and after reading this book, you'll understand why.

Over a hundred years ago William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous "Cross of Gold" speech at the Democratic National Convention in a voice that was heard throughout the hall without any electronic amplification. But now we live in an age of microphones and Teleprompters, and as Kathleen Hall Jamieson points out in "Eloquence in an Electronic Age," political speaking in the United States has been radically transformed. Now presidents are remembered not for great speeches but rather for memorable sound bites. In fact, John F. Kennedy's inaugural address has now effectively been transformed into a single line ("Ask not...").

Jamieson looks at successful public rhetoric from the Greeks to Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan (the paradigm for the new eloquence), but also, and equally important, the problems of less successful communicators such as Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter. The historical examples and rhetorical analysis is to establish the concept of political eloquence, what it is and well and what it is not, and how our concept of it has changed (and remained the same). After all, when George H. W. Bush lost his reelection bid to Bill Clinton, you had those who distrusted Bush's ability to lead because of his problems with crafting a coherent sentence when speaking off the top of his head and those who feared Clinton's leadership because he was so convincing speaking off the cuff. Jamieson wants to know if television has changed our concept of eloquence so that audiences we are no longer receptive to eloquence in the way they were in the past, or whether it is just a convenient scapegoat for other influences.

Ultimately, Jamieson argues that "the old eloquence of fire and sword has given way to an intimate disclosive art bent on conciliation, not conquest." The things taught to Cicero and Churchill that allowed them to be so eloquent are no longer taught in schools. Meanwhile, we have learned that images on television of civil rights protestors being attacked by guard dogs and fire hose or American soldiers dying in Vietnam are more potent than any words spoken by elected officials. In the final analysis, Jamieson explains not only what "Eloquence in an Electronic Age" is, but also the whys and wherefores. This is a valuable book for anyone studying contemporary political rhetoric.

More than a decade after its publication, this book remains a excellent read on how the rise of first radio, then television, as preferred channels of political speech-making went hand-in-hand with changes in speaking style. Unlike many discussions of the impact of television, Dr. Jamieson's approach is far less interested in condemning the rise of the visual than in exploring what kinds of strategies work with television. It's a pity there isn't a later edition that brings the history of political speaking into the internet age.

This book will definately assist those of us who practice medicine in third world environments. Well laid out and laden with useful tips for coping with the conditions encountered in the field. Thank you!

This is more than a reference, it is a handbook and diagnostic guide good for the EMT to doctor. My only complaint is that it should have been a hard cover for the price.
