A Visitor for Bear is the delightful and satisfying story of two fully realized characters and how they become friends. It is not only abundant with humor, but also explores the complexity of feelings that come with making friends and the risk one takes to do so. My 5-year-old daughter asks for this book frequently, and it is such a good out-loud read that I've caught my teenage sons enjoying it from the hallway outside her bedroom. It is truly a family favorite, even for this family who reads dozens of new books every month, and is destined to become a classic.

This lovely book is both warm and silly. Grumpy bear dearly needs a friend and happy go-lucky mouse is most insistent that he shall be that friend -- despite bear's many, many efforts to divert mouse. The pictures are well-executed with a joyful twist and the writing is perfect. A wonderful book to read aloud.

Outstanding story, great illustrations, wonderful book for adults to read to kids. Enjoyable for all.

This is an adorable book that my son loves and I'm sure we will love for many years. At a young age, readers can find the mouse and admire the artwork. As a child is older, this story is a wonderful example of sweetly polite dialogue. Then, later, a lesson is learned - friends are necessary and to be cherished.

"A Visitor for Bear" is a perfect story for preschoolers and anyone else for that matter. It tells the story of Bear, a rather reclusive character who prefers to live alone, undisturbed and even posts a sign on his front door "No Visitors Allowed". Things change when bear gets a visit -from a persistent, cute little mouse who just won't take NO for an answer and keeps popping up in the unlikeliest of places, much to the disgruntled Bear's annoyance. What happens eventually is the sweetest thing - friendship.

The book deftly handles the themes of loneliness and friendship, and the sentences are simply written - perfect for preschoolers. The illustrations are in watercolor and very beautiful with touches of humor, depicting the extremely annoyed Bear and the ever persistent Mouse to such an effect that one can't help but laugh out loud at their antics. Highly recommended and perfect for reading aloud.

Very interesting book.
I had a hard time laying the book down.
Everyone should take a look at this.

Dr. Becker is a brilliant medical researcher who has devoted his life to the study of something most doctors barely understand that it exists: the body's electrical system.

Among many other topics, Dr. Becker describes
- the body's inbuilt electrical systems,
- how he was able to use electrical current to get bones that would otherwise not have grown together to do so,
- how he offered to create a means of inducing anesthesia with electrical currents, but was politely turned down by lesser doctors,
- how one can measure electrical currents flowing at acupuncture points (in other words, why there must be something to acupuncture),
- why he thinks there may be something to homeopathy,
- to what extent electrical systems play a role in the salamander's ability to regenerate tissue,
- the harm that (everyday) electromagnetic fields can cause.

The tragedy of Dr. Becker is that he is so far ahead of his time that he is largely overlooked. All the same he sometimes paints with a little too broad a brush. All the same, I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the life sciences.

A great job by Dr. Becker. Electromagnetism affects all lifeforms on earth. The effect it has on our health is dramatic and cannot continue to be ignored by mainstream medicine. Becker is a true pioneer.

The one criticism that I have with this book is that Becker failed to mention the excellent research done by Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls.
Davis was the first scientist in the world to discover that magnetism consists of two separate energies with different effects, it's not a singular form of energy with a singular effect, as is still widely believed today. The North and South poles have opposite effects.

Davis found that South pole magnetism is harmful to our health and will cause bacteria, germs, and even cancer to grow and spread at an accelerated rate in the body, while North pole magnetism will quickly stop the growth and assist the body to overcome disease. Just as Becker has said, Davis and Rawls found that many devices used in hospitals actually compound the problem. Radiation, for example, emits positive and negative electromagnetic energies. The positive energies can actually stimulate the growth of the cancer cells, similar to the way positive (South) magnetic energies do.

The first book by Davis and Rawls, "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System", goes into detail about how magnetism affects the physical and mental development of animals, the growth of plants, and among other topics, a detailed account of the effects both negative and positive magnetic energies have on cancer. "The Magnetic Blueprint of Life", the last of their books, expresses the relationship of air ions to health, how magnetism can be utilized in energy production, and it has in-depth information on how these positive electromagnetic energies, which are all around us, endanger us to a greater degree each and every day. We are being lied to about the safety of many electrical products on the market today, cell phones included.

If you have the books by Robert Becker and Davis and Rawls you'll be way ahead of the rest of the population in your knowledge of electromagnetism and its effects on all living beings.

If you really want to understand how the body works and is being influenced by our environment you must read this book. What an eye-opener. The author is someone thinking ahead of his time and much of what he predicted has come true.

1. "Most technological cures for cancer, for example, were found to be carcinogenic themselves"
2. From the beginning, life has been dependent on Earth's natural electromagnetic environment. Today this natural environment is submerged beneath a torrent of electromagnetic fields that have never before been present...In Cross Currents I will show how both the human body electric and the Earth's body electric have been damaged by this alteration; I will then explain what steps we must take to prevent the disaster that is fast approaching.
3. Hospitals were becoming dangerous places to enter; patients sometimes entered with minor illnesses and left with permanent disabilities resulting from complication after another. Some patients discovered the various disciplines of energy medicine, which appeared to have three outstanding things to offer. First, they would do no harm; second, they often seemed to do some good; and third, they were much less expensive than orthodox medicine.
4. The physicist, biologist, and physicians were absolutely certain that life forces simply did not exist, and that all living things were simply chemical machines. They knew that the living organism was simply a collection of structures, which work chemically and were integrated by means of central nervous system, with no involvement of electricity or magnetism.
5. Nature must have a mechanism of self-repair; otherwise, life would not have succeeded. Self-repair requires a closed-loop control system-that is, one in which a certain signal indicates injury and causes another signal to effect repair. As the repair proceeds, the injury signal diminishes, and when the repair is complete the signal stops.
6. Salamander limbs regenerate at the Neuroepidermal junction and negative electric current signals primitive cells in the blastema to redifferentiate and growth back the limb. As the blastema grows, the salamander current becomes highly negative and slowly returns to its original baseline.
7. In a number of experiments, I was able to show that the DC electric currents I was measuring from a variety of tissues, including nerve fibers, were actual semiconducting. As a result of interest stirred up by these experiments, many people began to make electrical measurements of other growth processes. All rapid growing tissues were found to be negative in polarity. Interestingly, cancers in animals or humans always showed the highest negativity.
8. The frog's red cells could be dedifferentiated by electricity, but only with vanishing small amounts (measured in the billionths of amperes). Electricity was clearly a stimulus to regeneration. Instructions to regenerate were retained by mammals. Therefore, the growth control system required for regeneration was present. For electricity to turn on the control system for regeneration the right amount of electricity and right polarity was required.
9. I proposed that the acupuncture pointes were just such booster amplifiers, spaced along the course of the meridian transmission lines. Metallic acupuncture needles inserted in or near such a point would produce sufficient electrical disturbance that the amplifier could not operate, and the pain would be blocked.
Input DC electrical signals carried the information that injury had occurred along the acupuncture medians to the brain, where parts of this group of signals reached consciousness and was perceived as pain. Output DC signals caused the cells and chemical mechanisms at the site of injury to produce repair.
11. In the 1880s, Dr Allison Apostoli treated cancers of the cervix and uterus with DC electricity by inserting a positive electrode into the tumor and passing between 100 to 250 milliamperes of current through the tumor to a large negative electrode on the abdomen producing electrolysis within the tumor. He reported prompt relief of pain and bleeding, and shrinkage of the tumors, but he reported no long-term results.
12. All rapidly growing tissues were found to be negative in polarity compared with the rest of the body. The highest negativity was found in malignant tumors. In 1977, Doctors Muriel Schaubel and Mutaz Habel used stainless steel needles inserted directly into the tumors. Doctors Schaubel and Habel used three leves of current: 3 milliamperes, ½ milliampre, and 960 millimicroamperes. With the 3 Ma current there was significant destruction of the tumor, with about twice as much at the positive as the negative location. At the ½ MA there was destruction of the tumor at the positive electrode. At the lowest level of current there was a reduction in the weight of the tumors with both the positive and negative electrodes. The conclusion was the tumor destruction was the result of local electrolysis at the needle electrode.
13. The local toxicity of electricity kills cancer cells, but the real hazard is stimulating other cancer growth with the use of electricity.
14. Dr Kenneth McLean claimed that rats inoculated with cancer survived if they were treated with extremely high strength DC magnetic fields.
15. Pulsed magnetic field treatment for bone nonunions also has been reported to slow the growth of animal tumors. Pulsed magnetic fields have a major effect on the stress-response system. Exposure of the whole animal for a short time causes a rapid stress response, with a marked increase in the activity of the immune system. For a time, the immune system has the upper hand and defeats an increased growth of the cancer. However, continuing the exposure beyond the short term results in a decline of the stress response and the immune system falls to below normal levels. Tumor-cell growth is then enhanced by both the drop in immune-system efficiency and the direction of the pulsed magnetic field on the cancer cells themselves.
16. Dr Becker discovered that some human cancer cells in a culture appeared to dedifferentiate when exposed to electrically generated silver ions. An electrical-charge transfer sends a signal to the nucleus of the cancer cell that activates the primitive type genes, and the cell dedifferentiates.

Dr. Rothenberg is one of most famous doctor in anti-agind medicine. His presentation at medical conference is very interesting and understandable. So many physicians attend his lecture evry time. This book is very organized, so it is very helpful to study preventive medicine such as nutrition, exercise and stress reduction for medical doctors in various fields and also it can be a exellent guide book for people's daily life. I reccomend it for everyone who want to live longer and more healthily. MAKOTO MD JAPAN

This is an amazing threatise on antiaging. It is a MUST for patients contemplating any antiaging treatment. In addition,for physicians practicing antiaging medicine it is a great resource. I recommened this book whole heartedly to anyone in the antiaging field and to those considering adding this scope of medicine to their practice.

As a practicing physician I have used this book many times as a reference. It has proven to be very helpful with all my HRT problem solving needs and it is also loaded with references which support the science of antiaging.

Dr. Lionel Bissoon
Author, The Cellulite CureThe Cellulite Cure (TM)

Dr. Rothenberg's most recent book "Forever Ageless", Advanced Edition is an updated overview of Anti-Aging Medicine that has no peer. This rapidly emerging field of medicine provides the answer to the inadequacies of traditional western medicine. The treatise is versatile enough to provide a Reader's Digest overview of selected topics while also providing references from the medical literature that in turn provides the scientific basis for this new approach to health care. The format explores the impact of various lifestyle modifications as well as the more recent additions to our armamentarium, supplements and hormone replacement. Theory is brought alive with specific algorithms understandable to both the physician and the patient. Specific information is provided on daily requirements of various food groups, supplements, ect. Dr. Rothenberg is truly a proven leader in this field that will eventually change the way we practice medicine. I highly recommend this valuable resource to the layman as well as the healthcare professional. James F. Lineback MD

This is my favourite book on this subject - heaps of ideas, tips and assistance to inspire me on a landscape quilt. Everything is well set out and clearly explained. Lots of examples to try out too.

Highly recommended book that is great for anyone wanting details on how to take their landscape quilts to a new level. Joyce has shown what and how she is inspired and how this is translated into a beautiful quilt. Great book for teachers and students.

Easy to read and full of excellent information for the Landscape Quilting Artist

I am enjoying this book and I want publishers to know that I purchased it because I was able to preview it.
Thanks, L. Shell

I bought this for a friend who has never quilted, but had an idea of a landscape quilt in her head. After reading it, I realized that this is just the right book to start-jump a "newbie" from the starting point to where ever her imagintation will take her. Also, after reading it I am buying another copy for myself. I quilt and do some art quilts also, and this book gave me many wonderful ideas. . Highly recommended [[ASIN:1571203605 Beautifully Embellished Landscapes: 125 Tips & Techniques to Create Stunning Quilts

This book arrived quickly and in excellent condition as promised. Would definitely buy from this seller again!

This is such a useful tool for teachers. It is simple to use, visually stimulating, and fun!! Really great book!

This book for K-6 has a huge amount of graphics for everything from book reports, math, science, social studies and writing to great activities for all of these as well as great art projects. I am a writing teacher so I was particularly interested in the writing activities and graphics organizers. They are awesome! For example, there is one writing activity I found to be really interesting. It is an autobiography recipe. Students write about their personality in the form of a recipe. Very cute idea. I think the ideas can and will be exciting for my writing students. I also teach social studies. There are some great ideas for that subject as well. Everything in the book is great.

I bought this book, along with the Organized Teacher. Both of these books are filled with awesome printables, resources, websites, ideas, and projects for every content area from reading and writing to art and gym. I really enjoy both of these books!

This book is filled with creative ideas. It provides tweaks to assignments and projects one would already use in the classroom.

Margaret Becker's book is definitely a "Fresh Vision for the Soul." My copy has passages underlined, pages turned down, and a few joyful tear stains. In Margaret's own words, "...what could be more important than experiencing the journey in its fullness. What could be more insulting to an eternal, loving God than not enjoying it?"

Margaret, thank you for making my life more enjoyable. :)

If you like reading with your emotions this is the book for you. Margaret Becker writes just like she sings. An intensity that takes you to right where she is. It was a great read.

This is such a great book that when I sent one to my aunt about four years ago, she promptly purchased seven copies for her friends for Christmas. My aunt is in her 60's.

Oddly enough, my kids loved this book, too. Becker probably didn't set out to write a devotional book per se, but With New Eyes worked great as one. I read a chapter per night until we'd finished the book. When I forgot to read from it one night, my 9-year-old said, "Get New Eyes, Mom."

I never quit reading this book. It stays on my night stand, and I pick it up and read it whenever I have the chance. Same for her newer book, "Coming Up For Air." Margaret Becker is an extraordinarily gifted writer/thinker/singer/producer. I'd recommend this book to anyone. I've bought and given away countless copies of it.

These short stories/essays are inspiring and thought-provoking. I read this book at least once per year - usually when I'm on a trip and can catch short moments to read. I love her honesty. Some of her essays have really helped me through difficult times. I am eagerly awaiting her new book...

REALLY, REALLY liked this book. There are 52 chapters with 52 great weeknd adventures. This is a perfect book for someone new to Arizona like me, but I'm sure locals will get some good use out of it too. The maps and all the extra information are really useful. The color photos are spectacular. Much, much better than other Arizona guides out there.

The authors do a really good job of motivating readers like me to get off the couch and try something new. After I bought the book, our first weekend escape was when I took my wife hot air ballooning in Sedona. Then about a month later, my wife and I contacted one of the outfitters listed in the Grand Canyon hiking chapter, and we took a long weekend 4-day hiking trip down to Havasupai. When we got there, we couldn't believe we're still in Arizona with the beautiful waterfalls and all the incredible scenery. Plus we saved about $$$ thanks to one of the coupons in the back of the book -- this coupon alone paid for the book and then some. Thanks! (Great idea! I figured the least I could do was write a thorough review.)

I'm looking forward to the winter so we can go try a weekend of dogsledding... Who would have thought dogsledding in Arizona! Thanks a lot guys. Great book!

Great book. Tons of amazing pictures that inspire me to get off the couch and get outdoors. I lived in Phoenix for 3 years and never knew that all of these awesome adventures were right at my doorstep. Writing is informative and entertaining. I would highly recommend this book.

This book is great for anyone who lives in Arizona and is looking for some exciting things to do on weekends. The book is set up by season and the degree of difficulty for each adventure, so there is something for everyone. The pictures are beautiful and the directions are really great. If you are going to visit Arizona and would like to try some different activities this book is for you.

I really liked the book alot! It's pretty hard not to come up with something to do when you have 52 options. We've had the book for just over a month and and when we bought it, we decided to go have some fun this year.

First, we went Paragliding on Lake Pleasant and had a blast! Plus saved money from the included coupon. Then last weekend we hiked Peralta Canyon. It's amazing what's out there.

This book is the ultimate guide. You are not an Arizonan unless you have experienced its glory, and this book will get you there. I moved here from New Mexico and now feel more at home than the few natives I know. I can get out every weekend and enjoy my life, and it's not expensive. In addition I can save with the coupons.

This book is hilarious. I bought it when a fairly generous employer gave me purchasing power at the wonderful Sam Weller's Book Store in SLC; I said I wanted to do book reviews as the books and readings editor for an online pub, but really I just needed books for my daughter and couldn't afford any.

I was surprised and pleased to see I liked it as much as my daughter, though I found I had much to explain as she watch me laugh till I cried. I could see this book being used in an adult western civ class...a person could read all kinds of things into it...about cultural appropriation, about egocentrism, about colonialism... I have two daughters now, and both absolutely love it, but sometimes I read it for myself and to other adults after the girls have gone to bed. The illustrations, by the way, are fantastic. If I were to suggest one Christmas book for kids, this would definitely be it. This is the one Christmas book I don't put away in January, but keep around all year.

This is a funny, quirky story about a girl who finds a crocodile under the Christmas tree. The illustrations are watercolors of a Victorian mansion, the characters are fun (most of them are sterotypes but funny to read in different voices) and the story is just very original. Children will enjoy the idea of a crocodile and it's antics, while adults will get the jokes that are probably over most kids' heads...including the last illustration without any words that ends the book with a last laugh. I would definetly reccomend this one!

My kids and I all love this book! The text and the illustrations perfectly complement each other, giving the story an old-fashioned feel and lots of humor. The quirky family members are a treasure. I highly recommend this fun story!

Crocodiles do not conjure up images of a well-behaved pet! Alice Jayne sure tries to convince her eccentric family to keep a "puppy eyed" crocodile she finds under the Christmas tree. Our sympathy immediately goes out to the Christmas Crocodile who really "didn't mean to be bad." He sure gets into trouble in this book.

From page one, get ready to laugh at the adorable antics and pictures of less than amused family members. If the "Cat in the Hat" had been found under the Christmas tree, even he could not have created this much chaos! After gobbling down just about everything (a water bottle, candy canes, a Christmas roast, pumpkin pie, twenty-nine crumpets on the kitchen counter, a box of pralines, one fruitcake, five golden oranges, the left stove top burner, and a plate of ginger star cookies), the family locks the crocodile in the back room. They then retire for the evening.

What happens next can only be told by Bonny Becker and illustrated by David Small. We have copy which says: "For Alexia, Season's eatings!" signed by Bonny Becker! This is a magical book from start to finish. You don't want all this fun to ever end...and you know...it might just being again. Don't peak at the last page! This is the perfect gift for any child at Christmas time. They will enjoy reading it all year long.

~The Rebecca Review

Start a new holiday tradition by reading the Christmas Crocodile with your family. You'll laugh at the crazy antics of the eccentric family members and the crocodile who "didn't mean to be bad." This book is a winner from beginning to end and the illustrations capture the hilarity perfectly!

This is a great book for children. Does a nice job of showing the values of planning and training for a goal/adventure. It does this without taking away the excitment of the goal/adventure itself. I bought 3 more to share with children of friends.

My son loves hearing this story about Maxwell climbing the mountain over and over. This is a well written book that teaches children to be prepared before setting out on an adventure, a lesson that all parents want their children to learn. Buy a copy for your preschooler, especially if you love the outdoors.

My 4 year old son was intrigued with Maxwell from the start and it has become one of his very favorite books! He loves the outdoors and is interested in hiking and this lovely story about perseverance, overcoming obstacles and challenging yourself has some great lessons for adults and children alike. This book sparked my son's interest in drawing maps, learning the cardinal points and playing with compasses. We've also introduced him to geocaching so this was a great introduction. We eagerly await the next one :-)

Maxwell's Mountain is a fabulous story of a little boy who is so intrigued by the mountain near his park, that he sets his sights on climbing, by himself, all the way to the top. His determination eventually wins over his parents, who reluctantly support the thoughtful and very hard work Maxwell does in preparation for his great adventure. This is a book chock full of lessons worthy of aspiring to for any young child. Maxwell follows his heart, with hard work and commitment overcomes the objections of his parents, and, when his climb does not go exactly as planned, he uses great problem solving skills to realize his dream. This is a great story by Shari Becker, complimented by Nicole E. Wong's beautiful watercolor illustrations. I highly recommend this book.

This is a great book, with an inspiring and educational lesson: work hard and prepare and you will succeed. In contrast to books like "Frederick," this book teaches kids what it really takes to succeed in life, and does it with a charming story and great illustrations. And, with all due respect to the reviewer from Durango, unless you live in the Rockies, the mountain is tall enough. We live in New York City, and it seemed like an accomplishment to me.

A practical yet funny guide to the way things REALLY work in the "Alice in Wonderland" world of international banking.

"A Banker's Insight on International Trade" is an interesting learning aid for an international trader/banker wishing to learn from the known business mistakes of the others.

It is the best teaching aid for a trade (finance) trainer for making his classroom presentation interesting for listening and effective for learning.

Roy Becker has taken a subject that is rather dry and fact-based and, through his extensive experience and ability to "weave a tale", has created a book that is both very useful and surprisingly entertaining. The financial intricacies of international trade are extensive, but Mr. Becker summarizes the high points through his real life experiences.

A great read to prepare yourself for the issues you can face if you are considering trading your products internationally.

roy's book is an excellent read. He makes a dull subject fun. I also use excerpts from his book to assist in teaching my MBA students

If you have any thoughts whatsoever of getting involved in international trade - this book is a must read! Whether you are a first time exporter or have been in the business for some time, you will gain new insight into the realities of financing international trade. This is not a book filled with theory or dry language - these are real-life stories that illustrate all the unknowns and possible pitfalls of carrying out an international transaction. It covers everything from Letters of Credit to Incoterms to Sovereign Risk and more. It is fun to read and will give you a tremendous advantage when considering how to handle a particular international transaction. If you want to seriously consider your risks and be as fully prepared as possible when going into international trade, I highly reccomend this book to you.
