Salt Lake City, Utah, June 30, 2002 - As the nation closely follows the WorldCom scandal on the heels of the downfall of Enron and Arthur Andersen, John McCoy's new novel, Hidden Money, uncovers the world of danger and intrigue in the world of high finance.

"Johnson skillfully creates an engaging drama...[Home Again] has volatile emotional chemistry, interesting conflicts in the other relationships, and sparkles with humor," says Romantic Times. Rebecca Halstead wanted a rose arbor. A simple thing, really, yet neither of the men in her life was willing to help her. Her teenage son, Alan, had more important things on his mind--such as wreaking havoc on her relationship with his boss, Sam Ballard. And Sam? Well, Sam just didn't seem to want the kind of commitment the arbor symbolized. To him, it stood for all the homey things he wanted no part of. But family meant everything to Rebecca, and quite frankly, Sam wasn't offering anything to replace it with. True, his kisses left her breathless, but Rebecca needed more. She'd damn well build her own arbor, with or without him. A 1994 RITA Award Finalist, Home Again is a touching story about family and love. If you like romance, you'll love this novel. I guarantee it!!

Ms. Monk tells a storey (that is beautifully illustrated) about a question that many children ask their parents, relatives, friends and or teachers. What is mixed? She answers it in a positive way fit for 4 to 8 year old readers. The storey might be sweet, sentimental and syrupy to adults; but so what. Adults need to be reminded of the way things SHOULD be. There is no harm in letting a child know (adults most of all)that there is HOPE. FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN [Hebrews 11:1].

This is a great book. The instructions are concise,simple and easy to follow. Initially, the drawings appear very basic but with repeated practice, they become quite adorable. My 8 year enjoyed this book because of the gratification he received when his drawing actually looked like the animal he was trying to draw. It's fun.

Good "How-to" book with helpful advice and forms. Valuable information for individuals or families facing a health crisis. Just as valuable for those who wish to have their affairs in order prior to a problem.

As a first year nursing student, I found this textbook to be a very useful tool. It contains many charts and photos to help you to understand and "see" the wonders of the human body.

This book is an important reference guide, to anyone who studies, or conducts research. It is concise and very helpful. I am finishing my Biology degree and preforming research on the Canadian Red-Sided garter snake. Without the help of this book, it would have taken me much longer to finish. My professor has all of the prevous editions, and I have long awaited this new edition. This book, I have found, is the most important reference guide to any histologist.

The author includes an informative introduction for parents and other caregivers regarding how to talk with children effectively about death. I particularly appreciated the format of the story. Betsy's parents talk with her about the death of her friend in an open and supportive manner. The feelings Betsy experiences are realistic and speak to the various ways in which children may react to death. This book addresses topics including funerals, burials and creating remembrances for the deceased. A warm, wonderfully written book that can be shared with children by parents, teachers and other caring adults.

After more than fifteen years in health care as a medical social worker, I've seen my share of QI ideas. Believe me, this is the best book I've ever seen on this subject. It is everything you as a health care professional would need to get serious about using quality improvement to make real changes in practice--and in principle. If you work in end-of-life care and are tired of seeing patients with unrelieved pain, want to move beyond the living will to comprehensive advance care planning, are willing to recognize the role of spirituality in bereavement--just for example--the information you need is here. This is not your ordinary quality improvement book. It talks about real action and practical ways to change entrenched systems. The quotes at the beginning of the chapters are from Will Rogers and Yoda and Anonymous: "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." The authors, Dr. Joanne Lynn, Janice Lynch Schuster, and Andrea Kabcenell, have a penchant for clear writing and well-organized outlines. The book is sponsored by the Center to Improve Care of the Dying and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. If you are ready to start improving end-of-life care tomorrow, read the book today.
