Best choice for medical students who desire an introduction to Obstetrics an Gynecology. Includes guidelines for treatment. The first book at this speciallity for newcomers.

I have to say, this is a wonderful mix of fright and fun and just some really off the wall humor tossed in. There are a lot of tasty little tales in this collection, something for everyone.

In my opinion this book was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel that every one should read about Denmark Vessey and his contributions to Black History. If you have nothing to do, read this book. I promise you it will change your views on Black History.

When my daughter brought this book home from school, I never expected to laugh my head off--which I did! Our whole family got a big kick out of it. It's a delightful story that's all the more funny because it really happened. If you've ever lived in a small mid-West town, you'll find it especially charming and familiar. Little Ruthie tries so hard to please her parents and they keep their cool even in the most trying circumstances. A good lesson for all of us! Thank you, Dr. Peterson!

A great book, helps you determine where your stress is coming from: Mind, Body, Situation. Then gives pointers on managing stress from the source.

One of the finest entries in Collins' nate Heller series. Publishes at what I consider the character's high water mark.

It is unfortunte that this book is out of print. Bring It Back!

This is the first book about Bettelheim and a thoughtful summary of his intellectual contributions in varous areas of our thinking about children, institutions and the transformation of psychoanalysis in the United States.

Bettelehim was and is a controversial figure whether he wrote about parenting, autism, the kibbutz or the potentially therapeutic effects of institutions. This book addresses his ideas and their contribution to our understanding of ourselves and others for whom we care.

Einstein is famous for his monumental work on special and general relativity, but is not as well-known for his valiant efforts in the interest of world peace and good will among men. The editor hopes that this book will inspire us to do our own share for the cause of world peace. This is an excellent book, and provides a glimpse into the second thing that was close to Einstein's heart.

With an introduction by Coretta Scott King, this is a well-written life of Ella Fitzgerald that should interest adults as well as the middle-school readers for which it's intended. The many photographs, almost one per page, should keep teens and preteens moving through the book.

I came to this book because I was inspired by "the Metaphysical Club" to learn more about the roots of pragmatism. The book is challenging. The Metaphysical Club points out that William James did not understand Peirce at first, so it is a bit much for mere mortals. It is especially daunting because the first essay is written with respect to Kant's categories, not something I know off of the top-of-my head.
However, as the books progresses many of the things that are assumed in the first essay are explained. For instance Peirce explains in detail what he means by a sign.

He discusses cognition, or consciousness and shows that logically our internal experience is based on external stimulation. It soon becomes impossible to ignore the fact that you are reading the works of a logician and that that is where he is coming from. But even though you might have to reread parts several times, once you master the arguements, it is satisfying indeed.

According to the introduction of the book and references, Peirce was influential. William James, Oliver Wendel Holmes and John Dewey were all influenced by him. Modern cognitive psychology owes much to William James. Psychology took a different direction through psychoanalysis and then behaviorism but cognitive psychology is now the dominate paradigm. Because of this Peirce has renewed importance.

My advice is to read it through once and not feel you have to get everything and the reread it because he explains things later that he assmes you know earlier.
