An avid fan of the Serendipity series, I must confess that this book is not truly a children's book. The illustrations and storyline are keeping with the true Serendipity tradition, and it is a great addition if you already have most of the others, but the moral is intended more for adults, illustrating that you must take care of yourself in order to care for your child. You may wish to use it to show your children how much work and love you put forth into their upbringing, however.

This a well organized book. The authors and editor have co-operatively achieved their scholarly objective with executive precision. The resultant book salutes their frontal lobe health more meaningfully than would a normal magnetic resonance image. The placing of the use of all cognitive functions including "abstraction" at the back of the brain and the final conversion to realtime action including language and song and meaning is what this learned book is about. (Ch 2) magically describes the normally behaving symptomatic schizophrenic.(Ch 3) advances our understanding to that of circuits - frontal basal ganglia and thalamic circuits - being responsible for executive action. There are six of these. The outide and inside halves have different actions and orbital damage produces pseudopsychopathy (detailed in Ch 4)laterally but anhedonia medially. Mentorship comes alive when Luria's pupil Goldberg (Ch 6) points out the anatomical and functional assymetry of the right and left frontal poles and their reverse in the occipital poles. The disorders that occur when parts of the frontal lobes are damaged by genetics, during embryo formation, by mental ilness and injury The treatment of these are discussed.

Did you know that each frontal lobe gives posture to both sides of the thorax ? In hemiplegia the thorax does not bend to the side. This is a tiny insight to the frontal lobes role in executing and unifying a most simple motor matter. No this snip is not in this excellent book.
The heuristic abstraction is - One personality, one thorax, each is integrated functionally by the frontal lobes. The mechanism of integration of throacic posture is by doublimg up of inner-vation. Take it from there.

This book is an exciting enthralling educating Crown Jewel.

Ingle's book is valuable for its insight into how Orwell was wont to exaggerate his hardships early in life as well as his attempts to record it as it *felt*. As a feminist I of course deplore Orwell's lack of sensitivity to Women and their struggles for suffrage, for political rights, and the right to own their own bodies. Nowhere does Orwell make clear that he is fighting for the rights of women, and this cannot be forgotten. We must also note that he continues to enjoy popularity among conservatives, a fact lost upon no self-respecting radical. I suppose that while the rest of us are challenging the assumptions of the colonialist mindset, white male writers of the past such as Orwell (who once slapped 'coolies' when losing his temper) are no longer useful in our examiniation of imperialist paradigms. For a contemporary perspective of the incredible variety and richness of post-colonial discourse, we need to turn to more radical and transgressive writers, such as Mary Daly, bell hooks, Ishmael Reed, and others. Orwell continues to accumulate dust and conservative praise, though we should continue to mine his works for their telling inconsistencies.

Glitterby Baby is the offspring of a male horse and a female pegasus. The mother is faced with the realization that she may have to leave her baby behind with the father when she must return to her home, because Glitterby cannot fly. She does not want to lose both of them, but it looks as though that is the only option.

A must-have if you wish to show your children the importance of manners. Even the unmannerly Grumpling can learn with the patient help of a small rabbit! The artwork is reliably wonderful, and children will love the story's involvement of animals instead of your average manners books.

Beckstrom-Sternberg and Duke do it again, with another Minty-Fresh detailed analysis of family Lamiaceae. Amateur Mint Specialists and Scientists alike will revel in the revealing data provided in this comprehensive tome.

Jobs in Arts and Media Management provides a wonderful overview of the arts management profession. Included in the book are 1) definitions and vocabulary used in the industry, 2) practical career advice for aspiring arts managers, 3) resources for further information and contact, 4) structures of both for-profit and non-profit arts organizations, 5) various types of arts organizations (visual, performing, media), 6) typical categories of positions available in the field, 7) how to be an independent arts management consultant, and 8) forecasting the future for arts managers. Twenty-five years ago, when I was hired to direct my first art center, arts management was not yet a recognized academic program of study. It was that year that the Association of Arts Administration Educators (AAAE) was formed. Today, AAAE boasts over 35 domestic and international institutional members (colleges and universities). Over 80 other higher education programs in arts management exist across the U.S. How I wish that I had access to them as I pursued my education! In today's competitive marketplace, arts organizations are increasingly searching for managers who have been prepared in theory and practice. A combination of life or academic experience as a practicing artist, plus strong communication, technology, research, interpersonal, development, and business skills are now required for successful arts management. This book covers the breadth of possibilities available to those who aspire to combine and apply a passion for the arts with sound business management. This is a no-nonsense, articulate, and useful "how-to" book. I am hopeful that there is a revised edition in the works that positions prospective arts managers for the 21st century!

The reader is calm but firm. Yes, he is not Laurence Olivier reading the KING JAMES BIBLE but it doesn't matter.

I really like this Bible a lot!
