Along the way, Freddy receives help from his good friends, Jinx the sarcastic cat, and Mrs. Wiggins the lovable cow. Buy this book for the favorite child in your life. He or she will be grateful for the introduction to one of literature's greatest pigs!

I really liked this book as it is very easy to read and understand. I found it to be very informative, educational, and a must read for anyone working within the human services field.

This is a text you will use day in a day out--never give it away, you will be sorry.
I love the text's format. The ethics exercises, hypothetical client needs exercises, practice exercises for every chapter, and forms in the appendix are all fantastic/brilliant.
This is a must need tool for case management.

This particular item is an excellent overview of case management practice for beginning and experienced case managers alike. Every aspect of case management practice from definitions to professional boundary issues and ethics to listening skills is covered. While this volume handles each topic in depth, the writing is straight-forward and no-nonsense. This combination makes the information necessary for a thourough discussion on the topic very accessible even to the novice. Chapter 1 entitled "Ethics and Other Professional Responsibilitities for Human Services Workers" provides a strong base for the subsequent discussions which follow. Chapters 6 and &7, "Seeing Yourself as a Separate Person" and "Clarifying Who Owns the Problem", flush out issues which need to be addressed in today's expanding market of paraprofessional services.

This book is a good resource for the shelves of those already working as case managers and a great text for students preparing themselves for work in the field of human services.

Fantasic story on the beginnings of what Garth Brooks became. He never has lost his dream.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the "real" Garth -- the person behind the icon. The book details his hard work and determination as a local singer, and how he never gave up. It's not glitzy (black & white photos) but packed with stories that make you feel you are there, experiencing what he experiences, feeling what he feels. It is an inspiration to all, as is Garth.

This book grabbed my attention and held on from beginning to end every time I read it! This isn't your run-of-the-mill, facts-everybody-already- knows kind of books. Matt O'Meilia does an outstanding job of describing the trials, troubles, and times of a young, struggling Garth Brooks just as he and their former band-mates remember them from their lives back in Eastern Oklahoma. Weather you think you know everything about Mr. Brooks or if you know absolutly nothing about this legend, this book is sure to leave you with a smile and many interesting stories you will not find anywhere else. You may also find yourself with a new sense of hope and determination for your own goals as O'Meilia shows the hopes and dreams of five young men, one in particular, come alive.

This General Chemistry Laboratory Notebook is completely CARBONLESS, unlike the notebookes offered at the college bookstore. The cover and binding is much stiffer and I received it before before it was scheduled to arrive. I am happy with my experience.

I usually buy my laboratory notebooks (Hayden McNeil) from my university book store. The 50-page ones usually sell for $17.00 + tax. I was particularly impressed with this item, because it had 100 pages, and I paid a lot less for it. It arrived in near-perfect condition - shrink wrap. The laboratory notebook has the Periodic Table of the Elements, conversion factors, physical constants, vapor pressure of water at various temperatures (fairly useful - no need to consult the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics), 15 cm ruler (not very useful), and solubility rules for ionic compounds in water.

This item arrived within three days of my order (Free Shipping option).

For its price and professional quality, I highly recommend its purchase.

Easy comfortable transaction - shipped quickly. Item in the condition as listed. Thanks.

It was a great expirience for my friends and I! We all had turns sharing the hanbook it was awsome and no one was left out or anything!

When i got the Girls Club Kit for Christmas, I was so excited!
I thought it would be a peice of cake to start a club.But when I
got home, went downstairs in my basement, and opened the packet
up...I new it needed a little work to get started.But I managed to get the basement all cleaned up and ready to start a club.In about 5 days I will be able to ask my friends if they want to join.I know it will be a very cool club,&will suceed to work.I have been coming down in my basement just touching up the place.I have been coming down here every single day.I have been looking forward to it ever since I got it for Christmas.

This is book is really insperational! It inspired me to start a club about animal rescue- so far we've saved 3 dogs!! Please get it for your daughter, around ages 10-14 is best!!

It is difficult to review this work as it is far to easy to inadvertently slip in a spoiler here and there. This is a scary, disturbing thriller and once the story takes off, it is difficult to put down. I am not at all sure if a movie was ever made of this one, but it would be a great theme...on the other hand, movies so often mess up the original work that maybe it is best to leave this one along. The authors character development is quite good, you really feel for the people. As I indicated above, it takes a few pages for the story to really kick in, but once it does, it is a page turner. Recommend this one highly.

This is the book of the 2002 movie version. A vampire-type terror tale. At first, the story feels a little sluggish, a couple in the city finding an apartment. But soon screams and dreams add to curious events. All isn't so cozy.

I loved this when I originally read it in 1979, and I loved it again in98 thanks to amazon.com. I wish it were a movie. I also whish Brooks Stanwood would write a sequal or other fiction.

The Grieving Time is a book everyone who has lost a loved one should read. Excellent.

This book tells it like it is with love and clarity. I highly recommend it for all who have lost a spouse.

It has been almost a year since my wife died suddenly and unexpectedly. Since then I've spent much time reading and pondering, trying to come to terms with my new reality. This is one of two books I found which provided enough comfort that I've given copies to other newly berieved widows and widowers.

I remember this book from my childhood. I had my parents read each story to me over and over. When I learned how to read I read this book until the pages fell out. In short it is a great book that encourages youthful imaginations. And, it makes for great bedtime stories. A real classic. I bought it for my children.

As a child I didn't have the books of Oscar Wilde but rather the records. My imagination soared with his descriptions of life, and my eyes overflowed with tears at each story. The record of the Happy Prince was read by Bing Crosby and Orson Wells and each year at Christmas we still play that old scratched thing, just to hear it's wonderous love story and that of The Selfish Giant. Now I have to get the book so my nieces and nephews will share in my treasures of love!!!! What is this world if it isn't all about Love?

In these tales, most of them being sad and even very sad, Oscar Wilde looks for a way to save one's soul in front of the misery of the world. Anyone in society who lives in the upper classes does not necessarily see the ugliness and suffering of the world when one looks at the lower classes. But in these tales the Happy Prince, or the Selfish Giant, or any other character will manage to get salvation out of their upper class blindness, by opening their eyes to misery and suffering and by doing what they can to repair these pains and evils because they will realise they have to feel responsible for the world, because they are more powerful and could easily impose their selfish rule. But the giant will discover nature, if not God, punishes him for his selfishness. The nightingale will try to redeem a young student by giving him a red rose in a season when read roses do not bloom. And yet the student will not get the love he wants because he is nothing but a non-entity for the girl he would like to be loved by. There is also a very sad note in A Devoted Friend and how friendship can become a mask for selfishness, a nice appearance for an ugly and egoistic attitude. Those tales are sad and at the same time they convey a moral full of hope. All is not lost if the Happy Prince can give away his happiness for those who suffer, even if later the powerful of his society will reject him when he does not look happy and beautiful any more

How To Save Money And Organize Your Finances: Tales Of An Urban Consumer by Me'Shea Brooks-Rolling is an informative, introductory guide to achieving economic stability in personal finances and making the best use of available funds in an urban setting through the establishment of a personal budget. Analyzing and organizing the common spending patterns for such expenditures as lunch, transportation, shopping, etc., How To Save Money And Organize Your Finances offers readers an expert perspective and an authoritative study on how to effectively save money, establish a liveable personal budget, become financially organized complete with record keeping of expenditures, eliminate and avoiding credit card debt, obtain a personal credit report for free, prevent identity theft, prepare to become a homeowner, redirect money that is unnecessarily spent on the unnecessary for the sake of more meaningful and important things, set up a small business, and so much more. How To Save Money And Organize Your Finances is very strongly recommended for any city dweller with a minimal or debt-restricted income as a practical, applicable collection of tactics and strategies for developing and maintaining a structured and secure financial basis for themselves and their loved ones.

Here's the bottom line: If you are serious about spending less, saving more and accumulating wealth, buy, read and follow the recommendations of this book. Brooks-Rolling presents practical advice in an easy-to-read, down-to-earth and entertaining format. You'll see my endorsement on the back cover of the book jacket; that's how much I believe in the principles and practices Brooks-Rolling preaches. It's not a coincidence that much of her content is consistent with the 10 principles of Black Enterprise magazine's Declaration of Financial Empowerment. If you are truly committed to laying the foundation for multigenerational wealth, here's a great place to begin.

Some say that wealth is power. If that is true, then very few of us have any power at all. Perhaps that old saying should be changed to say, "Those who know how to manage their finances have power." It is true that some people have a gift of financial wisdom but others must be taught. I believe, although Me'Shae Rolling has had many life experiences that have affected her finances, that she has the gift. She also has a servants heart which causes her to share her gift with others.

It would be difficult to navigate the waters of life without credit but let's face it, many of us are just working to pay off our lenders. The more lenders you have borrowed from the more enslaved you have become. Owing money is the new slavery but those chains can be broken.

Me'Shae has written a practicle, no nonsense, book. She suggests taking a calm methodical approach to eliminating your debt instead of the running around, tearing your hair out, helter skelter way of wondering what to do. Sit down, take a breath, read the book and let a cooler head prevail. Your situation will not become cured overnight but that's okay. It took time to get yourself in all the debt so it will take time to get out of.

Here are just some of the Chapters:

Being Disorganzied Costs You Money
Your W2 Form... Is It Accurate?
Mortgage PrePayments
Assess Needs vs. Wants vs. Desires
Time Your Purchases
Credit Reports & Fico Scores
Teaching Our Youth Financial Literacy

If you are truly tired of working everyday just to hand your check over to "The Man" on payday then you need this book. I reccomend this book highly as one who has recently gotten off of the credit train. I suggest following Me'Shae instructions step by step and learn how to use CASH. That's right, CASH. You'll be happier in the years to come that you took the time to learn the lessons that Mrs. Brooks-Rolling teaches. I encourage you to not only purchase a copy of this book but share it with your friends and family. Share the Power and be blessed!

Jeff Brooks-Harris has done a phenomenal job creating a concise book which contains a model for conducting integrative therapy that is both practical and relevant. Truly, this book with its solid research base offers something for everyone. Brooks-Harris' integrative approach has helped me as a student clarify and articulate my personal theoretical orientation. Even long after I have left school and entered into professional practice, I will refer to this book--over and over again. The author does a nice job of summarizing the major theoretical camps in psychotherapy, as well as the history behind their development. He then manages the daunting task of organizing numerous theories with ease, providing readers with a user-friendly framework for conducting therapy. What's more, he includes valuable suggestions for training others to use his model. Whether you are a student, professor, or licensed practitioner, I believe this book is for you.

Integrative Multitheoretical Psychotherapy, by Jeff E. Brooks-Harris, is written in an approachable, yet practical manner. The book demonstrates a means by which viewpoints through various psychotherapeutic lenses may be synergized for purposes of most satisfactorily meeting the needs of a client. This work is both humble and profouond.

This book is a wonderful skills-based text for intermediate level counselors. Most of us in the field of counseling and psychotherapy eventually end up working in an integrative manner, but this book helps us do that in an intentional and theoretically integrative way. The book focuses on breaking down each theoretical orientation into a set of interventions and identifies process markers that suggest when it makes sense to use particular interventions. I have always thought that feelings, thoughts, actions, family systems, and cultural systems are all part of the therapy rather than seperate approaches at war with one another. We need to intervene at all levels, especially those with which the client is most comfortable. This book helped me to become a better and more effective therapist.
