I chose to read this book because of its Saskatoon setting. It was instantly captivating to read about familiar streets and buildings. The Mendel Art Gallery and Spadina Crescent are signatures of Saskatoon.

I enjoyed having a forty-something female - especially a working mother - as the main character and sleuth...makes it seem like us regular folk just could have excitement in our lives! On top of it all, I learned something about my home town and province....the South Saskatchewan River really does empty into Lake Winnipeg!

Although it is not as definitive as the editors would have you believe, "Nature's Medicines" quite thoroughly covers a number of herbs, vitamins and other supplements. The book is divided into 3 sections for easy reference: What You Need to Know About Supplements; The Powerhouse of Nature's Medicines; and Fighting Disease with Supplements. The first chapter discusses the role that vitamins, minerals and other supplements play in your health. The second chapter discusses the efficacy of numerous supplements, to include side effects and interaction precautions. The third chapter is a very thorough discussion of numerous diseases/ailments (such as AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, headaches, cancer, Alzheimers, etc.)and what supplements are most beneficial to those suffering from them. If I could only have one book on natural supplements, this is the one I would choose: it's a very useful reference.

This book is a very important tool for any organization chart designer. It provides organization charts of a vast number of businesses and organizations. There is a significant oppportunity that you will find a benchmark to what your company is doing. One word of caution - this book is only one of a number of tools that should be used in desigining (or redesigning) an organization chart: it does not provide full explanations on what each department is responsible for and what staffing levels are appropriate.

This book has a lot of great aspects to it. It is a hard back, making the book more sturdy. This book offers a lot of great time-saving ideas and cost cutting tips. There is no need to worry about having enough room to record information; the author gives several pages for each area of imporatance. The only pitfall is that the size is not very practical for the working woman, being almost as big as a magazine.

As a student of the visual arts I have encountered many art books, but few have the wealth and quality of reproductions as this one. The criticism of Parsons and Gale is emminently readable, if not at times simplistic, and provides a thorough introduction to a sweeping period of history. But even if this book contained not a single sentance of history or criticism it would be worth purchasing, simply for the images which take up most of this 400 page book. Featuring masterpieces, both well known and obscure, many of the images are given large size, full page, high quality photographs and others are given double page fold outs. Furthermore, Parsons and Gale do not restrict themselves to the Parisian Avant-Garde but extend there scope to include Russia, America, Britain and all of Europe. If you are after a pictorial history of modernism, this is the best I've ever seen.

Prescott Street Press has had an impressive 20 year run of publishing some of the best poetry out of the Pacific Northwest and this anthology is a good representation of that history, with some of the best-known and least-known poets and writers associated with this area. Anyone interested in the work coming out of the "rainy" Northwest will enjoy this book, which is also very well designed and printed, all in keeping with Editor Gale's track record as a poet, publisher and editor.

has something for everyone. treasure hunting. island living. pets. boating. rescue at sea. very genuine. well written.

dave gale is a good story teller.

I read the book "Secrets Of The Upstairs Room and Other Ghostly Tales!"is an 88 page book with 9 chapters and each chapter has 5-8 pages in each chapter, with about 1 picture in each! The reason I picked this book because all of the chapters are mysterious! The other reason is because it is nice and short! I liked the 1st chapter, MOTHER LOVE because i think it is the scariest and the most mysterious chapter! I give this book 4 stars because it could of been longer and more discriptive!

I used a forerunner of this book when I was in graduate school twenty years ago. I pull out the current edition when I need to review basic skills for myself or for supervisees. Middleman and Wood do a thorough job of defining sixty-three basic skills for direct paractice in social work. These skills are the foundation of any professional counseling work, and their absence from the curriculum of many schools is too well reflected in the professions.

While social workers and counselors often pick up these skills along the way, the concise, straightforward listing and explication by Middleman and Wood is a better way to go.

I think any counselor or social worker would benefit from a review of these basics, and any trainee or intern who has not encountered this book would benefit from it.

While out of print, this book is worth looking for. It has a twisting, intriguing plot that winds up to an interesting, happy conclusion, and is full of excitement as well as a lot of fascinating historical details of Spain. It is the third and final book of a series beginning with Go Saddle the Sea, and the second is Bridle the Wind. Read this book and you will want to read the two that came before it.
