Wanda Weiskopf touches the heart in this collection of poetry. Sometimes whimsical, usually profound, her poems grab the reader, forcing us to think. Her topics cover a wide range, but Weiskopf gently broaches even subjects like homelessness with her thoughtful pen. Best of all, the reader does not require an interpreter or a thesaurus to understand her words.

You will laugh and cry as you follow Kathryn on her journey to recovery from a spinal cord injury. This humorous and heartwarming book has a wonderful storyline that young readers will not only enjoy, but learn from also.

Drs. Love and Webb have taken an incredibly complex topic and defuzzified it. Their neurological insights are clear, concise, and accurate. Moreover, they have an very "user-friendly" means of disseminating their knowledge to the reader. As a consequence, the reader is armed with useful, practical clinical information rather than overwhelmed with bits of theoretical jibberish. Each edition of this book represents a systematic continuation of their scholarly pursuits. Clearly, these authors have set the gold standard of neurological information in speech-language pathology.

I loved this book! It was so inspirational. The storyline flowed so well I thoroughly enjoyed it and could hardly put it down.

Dr. Stanton goes down the path of statistical review of leading causes of death among our children. This text was complete before the massive onslaught of 12 year olds and their second ammendment right protection. I hope she someday follows this up.

This has to be the very best of the best as far as china painting is concerned. Even the title should tell you that Wanda Clapham has "personality" and it shows in her artwork. None of those boring boring little floral jobs we are all so sick of. Wanda paints big and bold and varied. Okay, she covers flowers too but they are spectacular along with the birds, fruits, scarecrows, santas and more and more and more. If you want something different, then this is the book for you. Full of coloured illustrations and clear line drawings for you to create beauty. Wait till you see the amazing grapes and berries - all colours!

Ms. Bigoszewska provides detailed information on every Polish national decoration since 1705 to 1985 to include award statistics and superb drawings of each decoration. An excellent reference work. 140 pages, small format in POLISH only. The book is out of print. I have several copies.END

I attended a reading and writing workshop in Dayton Ohio this summer where Wanda Lincoln spoke. Wow! This was such an opportunity! I enjoyed the presentation, obviously. I found it very interesting that Ms. Lincoln did not advertise her books in anyway, yet simple mentioned them without ever refering to herself as author. This book is particularly good for grades 5-8 and I would recommend it to anyone.

Resource life cycle analysis is an interesting technique that has changed my view of both project management and strategic planning. The essence of this approach is the integration of resources, value chains, and precedence as key factors in information systems planning. Although this book is described as an IS modeling technique, the basic concepts can be used outside of IS, making the approach more universal than I believe the authors intended.

The key elements of the approach are (1) Resources - the view taken by the authors is businesses are a collection of resources. This differs from most approaches that view businesses as a inter-related processes and functions. Because the unit of composition for businesses is a resource (or asset), each are viewed within the context of a life cycle. This is a natural way of looking at assets, and this view fosters systematic management of business resources. Resources can be human, software, time, money, etc. (2) Value chains - this is the element that does address business processes and functions because it treats them as value chains. This is not an uncommon way of viewing processes and functions, but combining this view with the resource view is. (3) Precedence - this element adds sequence to the functions in *support* of resources.

From the foregoing there is a clear connection between resource life cycle analysis and project management, especially with respect to resource and precedence elements. From a strategic planning point of view, there is also a direct connection between value chains and processes, both of which are determining factors for systems to be implemented in support of business processes. These connections highlight the value of resource life cycle analysis as a methodology, and underscore its value as a tool that can be "bolted on" to your existing project management and/or planning methodologies.

I have been deeply influenced by this approach and have incorporated it into the way I approach requirements analysis and project planning. If you are a consultant, IT professional or operational manager of a business unit this book will provide you with some deep skills and a new way of approaching analysis.
