Associations Books

This is a great book if you are studying for your CNA. It explains all the clinical work in the detail you will need to pass your test.

I really like this text book it is really useful and answers lot of my questions

This book was fantastic! Very detailed and easy to follow.No question was left unanswered. I highly recommend it to anyone studying to be a nurses aid.

This book is a wonderful guide to get you on your way to becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. This is a wonderful career to have in the medical field. Helping people as a CNA is extremely rewarding.

Even if you're not looking to become a CNA, this book has excellent information for anyone who is in a caregiving situation. It has information ranging from infant care to elderly care.

I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to pursue a career in the healthcare field or anyone who has someone they take care of.

I am currently studying to become a CNA in the state of Maine. This is the textbook and workbook we are using. I have found this text to be very thorough and I enjoy it very much. I would recommend it to any CNA or CNA student.

This is simply a remarkable book. The loving addention to detail in both the house and book is a wonderful example of what books on architecture should be. The reproduction of original drawing is just so nice, I really can't say enough. An architect's book. This should be required reading for all architectural historian who write books on architecture that don't see the need to even reproduce a floor plan!

This book is as spectacular as the amazing Gilded Age chateaux it showcases. Carolands is nothing short of breathtaking, and this book shows the mansion at its most radiant. Unlike many of its contemporaries, like the long gone Harbor Hill of the Long Island Gold Coast, or the dulapidated Lynnwood on Philadelphia's Main Line, Carolands has been painstakingly restored and sits majestically on its hilltop perch, as radiant as the day it was built. I highly recommend this book, for its vivid images and insightful text, the authors should be commended for this gorgeous work...another beautiful book from Acanthus Press.

I have lived in the town of Hillsborough for 30 years and have seen the Carolands Mansion delapidated to the point where it looked like an old haunted house. It is beyond stunning in real life and I am thrilled to finally be able to see what the inside looks life. The pictures are gorgeouis and the book is also very intesting to read.

Having grown up on the Peninsula, the Carolands Mansion was always a place I would take people from out of town. The first time I saw it I was stunned, and from that moment on, a love affair began! Having seen the property at its worst and decaying state, to a beautiful lady dressed for a cotillion, this book captures the essence, and grandeur of a magnifcent time in the guilded age of American history. The new owners have lovingly restored the mansion to it's original glory, and all of us who have a heart for this treasure, WE THANK YOU! For long time people interested in the Carolands, and those who appreciate America's past, this book is a MUST HAVE! Gorgeous photos, fascinating reading, and lovingly put together! Don't pass this up!

Gorgeous color photos of fantastic interiors...decorating ideas on a big scale...a home designer's paradise for ideas. Mario Buatta at his best. Don't mistake this for a 'coffeetable' book, it's non-fiction that reads like a historical novel. Collectible.

Wow! This is what a Bonsai book should look like! The photos are superb. The story on each tree is very helpful I didn't even mind that they were in the back. I could more of this type of book because the photos were high enough quality to be able to see forms. Anyone interested in seeing quality trees should own this.

This book has many great pictures to give the beginners inspirations to pursue this great hobby.

An Informative and visually stunning text. This is not just a pretty book. Much can be learned from the subtitles for the bonsai enthusiast and casual browser alike.

Incredible masterpieces of Bonsai, most many hundreds of years old, are displayed in exquisite high-resolution photographs. This book is well worth the money for those seeking to study the world's finest examples of this living art form. An well-written and insightful historical survey is included.

For all bonsai lovers, this book is a must-have! The pictures are the most beautiful you'll ever see, with amazing and rare specimens.

As a Director of Recreational Soccer and a competitive coach, this is one of my top books in my library of over 30 books. Bert starts by defining age groups and age characteristics and how kids learn. Then in Chapter 3 gets into Learning How To Play and Chapter 4 Coaching Young Players. Bert gives great insight into coaches and kids and breaks it down by age groups. A lot of yellow marking and side notes by me on these pages! Chapter 5 is Reading the Game, with excellent bullet points. The book takes off in chapter 6 when Bert gets into the Dutch Approach section. The talks age group shows sessions, talks concepts and philosophy and then makes sure we understand "soccer moments" and "soccer problems". The team in possession and oponents in possession sections is excellent. He tells us about TIC (technique in soccer) and then goes into the 4v4 and the 7v7 training. I highly recommend this book to coaches that understand "The game is the best teacher"

From an Australian point of view, we have many people telling us how we need to improve our junior coaching techniques. I have spent many months and a considerable amount of money looking for a resource like this.
It seems to meet the guidelines of everything the commentators and experts in our country recommend is taught to our children and the Dutch have had obvious success.

When they teach young players to play soccer, the Dutch focus on TIC (Technique, Insight and Communication). This book focuses on the Insight players need to develop to understand how to play the game, to understand what is happening on the pitch. An outstanding resource. Very highly recommended...

This book reads a lot like shorthand. Very short, clear descriptions. It has some very good diagrams and after awhile it begins to make a lot of sense. Be prepared to keep returning to it as a resource book.

This book teaches you how to read the game for on and off the ball movement of your players, and provides small sided games to improve deficiencies you have diagnosed.Who else but the Dutch would be serious enough to have a chapter titled "Didactics and Methodology in Youth Soccer Training?"Do not look to this book for skills coaching, however.Useful for coaching U-10 and up.

Pauline Tesler is able to combine thought-provoking theory with practical process advice. This is an indispensable tool for collaborative practitioners as well as fascinating reading for anyone who is concerned about the emotional and financial toll of traditional divorce. Working with attorneys as problem-solvers, rather than adversarial litigators, is a revolutionary concept whose time has come. This book provides expert guidance for professionals and the public about the collaborative option. I highly recommend it!

Pauline Tesler's book, Collaborative Law, is an outstanding resource for attorneys interested in transforming the litigious divorce process into a client-oriented, principled, and efficient way to solve the problems associated with ending a marital relationship. It not only explains the principles of collaborative family law but provides substantial guidance in making the paradigm shift to this innovative approach and comes with a disk with a core collection of forms needed to get started as a collaborative lawyer. As a family law attorney for over 27 years and a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers I found this book to be invaluable. Nonlawyers will also find this book helpful in finding a better way to divorce. Collaborative family law is growing throughout the U.S. and Canada--and Pauline Tesler has played a leading role in this through her lectures and this fine book.

Pauline Tesler clearly explains this new form of lawyering that keeps family disputes, especially divorces, out of court. The book includes forms, checklists, and other essential practice aids for lawyers offering this service to clients. While it is addressed to lawyers, a person considering using Collaborative Law for his/her case will find it very informative.

Pauline Tesler's book is essential reading for any family lawyer who is interested in practicing collaborative law. It is a priceless resource that should be on the shelf of every family law practitioner who is willing to make the paradigm shift from adversarial gladiator to counselor and healer. The collaborative law movement owes Tesler a vote of gratitude for translating Stu Webb's simple concept into a brilliantly thought-out system that can be easily understood and followed. Since reading it the first time I have referred to it almost weekly.

As an attorney engaged in collaborative practice, I make more use of Pauline Tesler's book than any other practice resource. Beyond explaining the basic collaborative philosophy in clear terms, her book provides the practical, step-by-step tools that a practitioner needs to get through the challenging parts of the process.
Through the book, the collaborative process broken down into key stages with specific achievement landmarks and goals. Detailed forms and documents for the process are provided in the text and on a diskette. It is the kind of book you can pick up before a collaborative meeting to develop a concise checklist to cover.
For me, it's the Bible of Collaborative Practice. Although in-person training is preferable, I believe that just studying this book can provide an attorney with all the basic tools of collaborative practice.

I bought this book when I first found out I was pregant and it prepared me for what I should expect in the first stages of the pregnancy and up until my son was 3 years. It also showed me what and how the baby developed at each stage in it's production. It was great I would have been lost without this book.

This is the best book that I used as a resource when I was pregnant and for baby care. I never read the "What to expect ..." books. This book seemed to have the information I needed without going into too much detail. The pictures were fantastic. Most useful, though, is that it tells what symptoms mean "call the doctor". It also got us to get our kids to sleep through the night. Highly recommen!

this should be the one. It is a great book to follow through the stages of pregnancy and then into child care up to the toddler years. The pictures of the childhood rashes and sections indicating when to call the doctor are fabulous.

I am a first time mom, my husband and I were very nervous as we had never been around new born babies before and had no idea what we would need to buy, how to hold a baby ,what we needed to learn even!! This book is a complete book for all novices, it has many illustrious pictures and clear style of writing which is easy to understand. It covers more or else all topics personally I could think of. I have refered to it time and again all throughout my pregnancy and am sure it will be a great help once my baby is here.

This is one book that I would strongly recommend (and do buy for all my friends). It has a picture of every childhood disease that you can imagine from diaper rash to chicken pox to the mumps. It's all in here and the book covers pregnancy to about age 5. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and when dealing with your own kids' sickness, this book is very helpful

The Condominium Concept is a great tool for any community manager; the information and references provided have made my life easier and more effective.

Great publication.

This book is a must read for those living in Florida communties under the Florida Statue 718 ("The Condominium Act")including homeowners, directors and sales staff. It is very informative, easy to read, and utilizing the index and content pages, you are able to locate a desired subject quickly.

Being new at the Florida condominium association concept, I need guidance and references for performing my duties on the board. "The Condominium Concept" is an excellent tool. By using the index one can find specific topic within the book. The book has given the confidence I need to make good decision.

This is a wonderful book. It breakes down the Condominum Act in terms that officers of associations and the owners of individual units can understand. Five stars is even to low to rate how wonderful this book is!

After retiring from the legal field and moving to Florida, I had the opportunity to served as President of a Condominium Assn. In my opinion, this is one of the best publications available on condo matters. It is easy for the layman to read and understand, easy to use, find information and is constantly revised to keep abreast of changes. It contains many fine form examples or formats. It has been very helpful in resolving disputes, and maybe even saving legal costs. The author is one of the leaders in his field and has done an excellent in providing essential, practical and very useful information in this book. This is my second purchase of a revision of this book.

It's been a couple years since I read this book. However, I'm planning on re-reading it in the near future. The insights in this book are very compelling as they come from a profound personal experience that is both shocking and enlightening. I've recently been reminded of this book as some recent exposure to the Oprah Winfrey show has refreshed in my memory everything described in Will Baron's testimony. For anyone who is an Oprah fan, I urge you to read this book.

Shocking expose of the nature of New Age Movement and Spiritism entering "Christian" churches. A must read for those who wish to be ready.

This book ought to be on the reading list of any serious Christian. It's important to know how to keep on the "straight and narrow" path the Bible teaches.

Will Baron's autobiographical account of his experiences in the New Age Movement provide a sobering wake-up call -- particularly to Christians -- of the inherent dangers of this invasive movement. Truly, even the "very elect" are in danger of being deceived if they fail to remain alert and in continuous study of scripture. Already, New Age practices are being subtly introduced into "fundamental" and "conservative" Christian churches throughout the world. This book shows that you shouldn't doubt for one moment that it could happen in your church. Learn how deception is slipping through the cracks via seemingly innocuous practices that fail under closer examination to live up to testing required by Scripture. Read this book; read the Bible; be vigilant; be on guard.

Whether friend or foe of the New Age movement, everyone concerned with spiritual matters ought to read this unique book. This isn't just a book "about the New Age movement." Will Baron was there --really there -- and knows what he's talking about. Christians will want to read this book, too, if only to find out what famous evangelist is recommended by the spirits as being most in harmony with their teachings.

This book was delivered in perfect condition and in the time specified. I am using this book now. Thanks for such wonderful customer service.

This book is fairly complete and has guidelines and all a teacher needs to know.
Most useful to student-teachers.
I wish the INFO could be presented in a more reader-friendly way.

Every single book that I have read on early childhood education cites this book in some way for some reason. By thumbing through it, anyone can probably understand why. Dr. Bredekamp and Dr. Copple present the most transprent how-to manual ever for distinguising between proper and improper teaching methods in an early childhood classroom. EVERY early childhood teacher should have this book. It is affectionately known as "The Bredekamp book", "Developmentally Appropriate Practice", and "DAP".

Being a 2nd year early childhood education student at Miami University (in Ohio!) this book is very helpful in many ways. My first time reading it bored me to tears because it all seemed like common sense but reading the DAP section for 3-5 year olds was very interesting. I had done 2 weeks field expereince at a preschool and could compare what was developmentally approraite in the classroom I was in. Plus it was an excellent tool when going to do my assignments!
My professor claims that this is an excellent tool in helping us prepare to be teachers and I agree...we can relate what is in the book to our classrooms in the future. Plus for anyone out there wanting to be a mom it is a great resource as well!

Helped me set developmental goals and appropriate practices to get my NAYCE in-home Accreditation

If you are taking a circuit analysis course I consider this book a must have. It covers all the standard problems you will encounter and does not jump steps in the problem solving process. It's only fault I have found has been a poor coverage of Bode Plots.

This book looks very comprehensive on the subject of electric circuits and offers easy to follow solutions.

The only way to be successful in circuit analysis is by doing lots of problems. Practice, practice, practice. But that is worthless unless you are certain you did the problem correctly and you know WHY. This book doesn't just list a few examples and then a bunch of problems with short answers. Every problem in this book is worked out completely, step by step, without skipping "obvious" parts. As a student, not much is obvious when you start out and this book doesn't assume that it is. This is the single most useful resource I've found for learning circuit analysis. I only wish I discovered it earlier in the semester. Schaum's is good for starting out but this is better for practice problems. I even discovered that my instructor had copied several problems verbatim for some of his tests. But even if that wasn't the case, I learned difficult concepts much more quickly that I otherwise would have. The only improvement I would suggest is updated fonts and graphics, but that would be purely cosmetic. The text and illustrations are still quite clear enough to learn the material. Thanks REA!

Over 1000 pgs of nothing but solutions. Circuit analysis is daunting and even wretchedly time consuming if you go about it blindly. Attending lecture and going over book examples won't suffice nor lessen the burden of completing, let alone handing in flawless answers, assignments and their 'headache inducing' brain teasers. Like all things, patterns and repetitious notables allow oneself to 'get it!' Circuit design and analysis is no different animal: difference being the amount of studying and mental work put in isn't directly correlated to the quality of your grade, or comprehension. If you're new to circuit analysis or even an expert, you'll be doing yourself a favor by grasping the seemingly impossible array of passive and nopassive networks. Don't dare contemplate working in electronics or as a technician if you haven't acclimated yourself to the rigor of finding voltages and currents, let alone having the foresight to construct designs and then select the proper components and their numerical values. It all makes a $H!T load of sense....but its mastery demands an equally $H!T load amount of quiet study.

This book is a great guide to review
electrical circuits and math too.
It shows basic examples as well
as more advanced examples. Each solution
is covered thoroughly.
