This is a very good book. This book covers from Basic to date advances in PET. This book should be used as hand book of PET.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that provides physicians and researchers with unique information about the body's chemistry. Unlike computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which primarily examine anatomy, PET allows us to visualize body function.

Positron Emission Tomography is a non invasive, diagnostic imaging technique for measuring the metabolic activity of cells in the human body. It is useful clinically in patients with certain conditions affecting the brain and the heart as well as in patients with certain types of cancer. The field of PET has been quickly emerging into clinical diagnostic medicine. PET has been in clinical use since the early 1990s.

Great review of life in Rome. Good pictures. Fun mystery for kids to solve. My girls ages 6 & 8 loved the book, especially the mystery. We have enjoyed Ardagh's History Detectives of Greece and Egypt as well.

This is a easy read, better then Usbourne.
The illusrations are great and covers important figures,
religion, government,science, sports,daily life, arts,
everything. Then it finishes with a mystery for review.
Sure to keep kids and adults interested.

My book (The Backyard Explorer Kit) is a treasure hunt -a nature treasure hunt. Children will have a good time as they learn to be more observant outdoors. The Album has a different shape on each page so even small children will have fun collecting all kinds of leaves - leaves with big teeth, round teeth, small teeth or no teeth--- and then match and paste them to the shapes.

In the Guide Book children will see that almost all trees have leaves that belong to one of nine shapes. Also there are projects that children can do all year long -even in winter. Children learn when they're touching, doing and having fun.

No exaggeration and no comparison between the full color outdoor world the lucky youngster sees after this charming book opens it up for him or her--compared to the drab ho-hum before. Guaranteed--five minutes after getting this book kids will be clamoring to go out and collect leaves to put in their album! And will be seeing leaves and trees and the great outdoors in a magic new way. Once the child experiences the fun of being a Leaf Detective, boredom is not an option when trees are nearby. I can't recommend this book too highly!

Delightful and fun characters those Bean & Nina twins. This book is just up the alley of my imaginative grandchildren. A Christmas adventure filled with surprises. A pleasure to read with the little ones. Imagine that!!

This book is a wonderful spark to creative thinking for a wide age group of children. I've read it with several kids and they just love it! One of my neice's favorites she insists on reading before bed. We love it and you will too!!!

Ms Hynes shows her breadth of experience in this field, and the text would be invaluable as a training resource in many fields of supportive human development and therapy.

If you're looking for an intelligent and practical guide to facilitating bibliotherapy - with individuals, couples or groups . . . with adult populations or young people, there is no better blueprint for success than this. Mental health professionals, teachers, librarians and parents interested in the therapeutic application of literature will find Arleen Hynes' advice indispensable. As a practicing bibliotherapist, I have read virtually every book written on the subject and this is the only book I wouldn't live without.

My son has tons of board books but hands down, Billy Bunny is his favorite! The pictures of the animals are so big and it is like their eyes are looking right at him. He especially loves the pages with Morris Mouse and Freddy Fox on them. He loves to scratch their noses b/c of the textures that are included in this book. This is a must have! Highly recommend!

We purchased Maurice Pledger board books (Oscar Otter, Olive Owl and Billy Bunny) for our child at 6 months and at 2 years old they are still favorites. Here are just some of what we love about them. The illustrations are spectacular. They accurately represent the wildlife being depicted. There is a great variety of textures to appeal to a child's desire to touch and feel. Our child's favorite page is the "sticky" plant in Olivia Owl. They encourage interaction with questions like "How many shiny beetles has he found on the rose bush?" (from Billy Bunny) and requests like "Tickle her orange tummy." (from Oscar Otter). They are oversized for board books (approx. 9x11 inches), which our child loves. They give children nice big pictures to look at.

Children learn that television is not real. The Bionic Bunny Show book goes behind the scenes of a popular super hero show. Mr. Brown shows the reader the truth.

Also, the reader learns the vocabulary used by the workers on the set. There is a glossary in the back of the book. A good way to expand the reader's voabulary.

The creator of Arthur gives us this behind -the-scenes look at Arthur and Buster's favorite television series, The Bionic Bunny Show, as we see the actor arrive at the studio, get dressed, perform stunts and go home for the evening. The book's pages look rather like a television when we see how the episode appears to viewers. This humorous book, featured on Reading Rainbow, would be great for Arthur fans or for when you want to discuss the unreality of tv shows.

Once again, Debra Frasier has combined a vibrant portrayal of a child's sense of magical possibility with useful and insightful lessons about our amazing world. Like On the Day You Were Born, this book reminds young readers that their lives are part of the grand and important movements of the universe. And like Miss Alaineus, this book teaches us all that fun and insight are often a matter of how you see things. Hats off to Debra Frasier for another wonderful book.

A Birthday Cake Is No Ordinary Cake is a cake recipe, science lesson, appealing children's book, and perfect birthday gift all rolled into one. I really enjoyed it. Debra Frasier's colorful illustrations seem to jump right off the page. The book unfolds as an interactive cake recipe listing all the things that you will need to collect in one year to make a birthday cake, including the first sunrise after your birthday and continuing through an entire year of natural phenomenon. Children learn about the seasons and about the earth's rotation around the sun while celebrating all the fun of birthdays and cakes. Kids love this book, and best of all it's perfect for bringing to birthday parties.

My baby boy just loves this book. It is his favorite. He insists on reading it 3-4 times each sitting. Colorful pictures and a nice story keeps his attention. We both highly recommend it.

I was really impressed to find this book in the store when I was looking for a birthday gift. It is a colorful charming book that captures little kids attention with a waggy tail for the child to wag as the story goes along. I highly recommend it.

Both of my kids love this book. My daughter at 4 1/2 still loves it. It's been a staple baby shower gift for us and so far we've gotten nothing but huge "thank you's" for giving it. It's truely a book that the child loves and the parent loves reading.

I thought this book would be a little much for my 11 month old but he was completely enthralled. The attached pieces were so interesting to him and he loved sticking the pieces on the velcro. The story made him laugh and smile. Would love more books like this one.
