This book represents non traditional roles of children in the family and how inportant those roles are to the children. Very easy reading, and an awesome beginning book with a wonderful ending. My children and I really enjoy this book and read it often.

I purchased this book at the suggestion of a friend while I was recovering from Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery..(a triple bypass). I was in need of information that would help me recover and take me forward to avoid needing surgery in the future, to bring me back to a state of good health and to find ways to do it with little disruption. I had a few other books given to me, or suggested. I have found that The New Living Heart Diet is an amazingly complete "how to" manual for someone with heart disease or is trying to prevent it. I would reccommend it to a friend.

The only book of its kind that examines the toxicology of work related illness by occupation. So, a practitioner faced with a patient can look up and read about the toxic hazards that are specific to that patient's job or occupation. This book rated as one of the best by the American Journal of Industrial Medicine

This is the fifth semester I have used this text in my Marriage and Family course. Each semester I like it better. Wile difficult for the younger student, Perspectives allows the serious student to stretch his/her thinking on marriage in the Christian framework. This book is a must read by any Marriage and Family teacher at a Catholic college or university, and should be included in every college library.

I can't believe that one book could include such practical bottom line value. My husband is a professional speaker and after reading this book, he put mor of his personal style into his average presentations! Thaks Mr. Crane

Being a recent nursing student I have to say I really liked this book. Mary C. Townsend did an excelllent job breaking down the material. It contains nursing diagnosis, chapter summaries,case studies and chapter reviews. It included every aspect of information that made paperwork, careplans, clinical prep-work and studying a bit easier. I would reccomend this book to any nursing student especially if this may be your future field.

An extremely well written and organized, very comprehensive guide to multiple medical conditions. Good advice on remedies as well as prevention. Simple to understand and is realistic in its approach and expectations for the reader who would hope to incorporate natural remedies into his or her daily routine. Self-care Anywhere is a wonderful resource for medical personnel as well as patients. Dr. Greenberg and his co-authors have done an amazingly careful job in getting all this information in one place!

This is indeed a good book. Subject matter is well organized, explanations are clear. For the beginning courses in the mechanics of composite meterials, this may perhaps be one of the best books available today.

This book is a great reference for anyone interested in Autism. It provides a theoretical background, including characteristics, etiology, and controversy concerning autism. Assessment issues are also discussed. Interventions for educational programming with regards to behavioral concerns, communication, social skills, and academics are given. Actual cases of people with autism are also included, which allows for additional understanding. It is very thorough. Excellent reference book, not recommended for light reading on the subject.

This is the long-awaited third edition of the Unborn Patient, and a review of the contents holds promise for an ambitious and rather complete look at the field of fetal therapy. That the editors have amassed an international cast of contributing authors, each a recognized expert in his/her specialized area, is a tribute and testament to the respect and role the editors, especially Harrison, hold as pioneers and perhaps even mavericks in this fast and everchanging field. The book is well thought out and composed; chapters are well written and edited. Carry-over chapters from previous editions are substantially updated to include world experience-to-date as well as the present state of the art for treatment of particular anomalies. This is especially true of the chapter on CDH, whose history for treatment and evolution of techniques for intervention is beautifully and thoroughly documented, and makes for interesting and informative reading. In fact, this chronicle could serve as a template to describe so many other controversial medical therapies in their infancies and eventual acceptance into practice. In addition, the third edition ventures off into emerging therapies such as minimally invasive surgical techniques, surgical robotics, fetal cellular therapy, etc. Unborn Patient is replete with exquisite illustrations and lush black/white and color photos. (The clever cartoons are particularly revealing and ironic.) The far-reaching but detailed scope of this latest edition will make the book an excellent source of information and a useful reference guide for medical and lay communities alike. Given where the field of fetal therapy is today, it will be interesting to see how poised, equipped, and prepared medical professionals and indeed society as a whole are to handle the options, risks, and decision-making involved with the fetus emerging as a full-fledged patient.
