Brooks Books

This is one of my favorite books. It promotes an enlightened reverence for nature, and has innumerable examples of the extraordinary accomplishments and contributions of inventors, artists, scientists, statesmen, authors, and musicians (to name a few) and of their struggles, sacrifices, and victories.
A valuable resource for anyone of any age, and far from being a "How to succeed in business" manual, it has an underlying philosophy clearly rooted in the best of American transcendentalism.

This is a great book written in a style that respects teens and does not condescend or preach to them. Give it to your kids and tell them it is a rare book that helped to make millionaires - that will get them reading (and besides, it's true)! Greatly motivating and inspiring for both parents and their children.

Its ok. At the moment its the only book out there covering Love's music, so you'll need it if you're a fan

I picked it up for $15 - don't spend $300 on a book even if its out of print!

The later stuff (Real to Reel, Five String Serenade) is, thankfully, covered, as well as outtakes from RtR and Arthur Lee (1980 - Rhino)(Thailand, 30 on my way)

The ultimate Love bible of course is David Housden's publication The Castle, in the UK

This is a great review of the 60's band "Love" and its talented but controversial leader Arthur Lee. If you are an Arthur Lee fan, this is the book for you. The best part is the description and interpretation of the strange lyrics of Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean. It also has a chronology of 'Love" performances.

1) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PLOT
2) PERSONAL HISTORY-
(a)Describe school, work, relatioships with family of origin and other significant people in the character's life (non-clinical).
(b)general story of symptomalogy, when the symptoms began manifesting, past and current treatment (clinical).
3)FULL 5 AXIS DIAGNOSIS
for example, if you conclude that a person suffers from a major depressive dissorder and alcoholism also explain their symptoms as well but you cannot deccide, indicate two other Axis 1 diagnoses and why you did not choose them, observing the law of Parsimony (i.e. saying the most with the least amount of words in order of importance).
4)Discuss ETIOLOGY from two theoritical perspectives (Bordens& Gerow). For example, is the cause biochamical, cultural, psychoanalytical, etc.
5)TREATMENT DIRECTION- indicate your recommendations and why you chose that particular approach/es. For example, psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of various approaches (biospychosocial).
6)EVALUATION- briefly discuss your rationale for the particular topic you chose, how meaninful was the assignment and did it provide new insight.
7) the review must focus on Udall Melvin character.

I was an engineer and interested in learning about Biology. I went to a bookstore and browsed for 4 hours looking for a book that I could comprehend. Only two books fitted the bill - the first one is "Asking about Cells" by a Harvard Professor and the second one is "An Introduction to Genetic Analysis" by Griffith, published by whfreeman. I purchased both the books and I find that they are both good. It helps to read the "Asking about Cells" to put more detailed cellular functions in Griffith's book in perspective. Also, check out the "DNA from the Beginning" tutorial published free online by Cold Spring Harbor Labs. It also gives a glimpse of what is in store.

The main purpose of the book is to remove any phobia one might have towards biology. It neatly explains that Biologists do not know everything about cells (a common misconception of non-biologists). It also shows how they know as much as they know today. Finally, it has passionate interviews from the researchers who say why they continue to do biology daily.

The material is basic enough to be followed, at the same time, informative enough to go to the next level - understanding how genes work. I myself have now become a researcher in biology, thanks to this book. If you have never done biology ever in your life, this book is for you.

I had to have this book for a college "Intro to Biology" and it was great. The book has a lot of information that I needed for class. It was easy to read, which was really great since I had a full class load. There are also really good diagrams and pictures to illustrate the examples and concepts from the book.

"Basic Concepts in Biology" touches the basic definitions of the scientific study of life; from the origin and evolution of life, to the biosphere, ecosystems, life energy and life organization, cells-prokaryotics/eukaryotics, DNA, proteins, photosynthesis, human genetics, bacterias, viruses, protistans, fungi, plants, animals, the so controversial issue of global warming, and many other very interesting topics. The topics are illustrated with beautiful and colorful pictures. In the back of the book there is a CD. If you are a student, please don't ignore it. The CD will help you to study in an easy and simple way. It is excellent...

My little girl (2 1/2) picked the book from the library and ever since we HAVE had to read it every night before bed, she also wants to sleep with the page open where all the animals say good night. She recites most of the lines and we really enjoy reading it to her. I am ordering a new one today!

We love this book! In it a little girl named Jenna is on her way to market when she meets some animals (they're so cute!) who think she's silly because she isn't just like them. Jenna, in her perfectly matter-of-fact manner sets them straight, telling them who she is and what she can do. Way to go, Jenna! The animals are duly impressed and ask to join Jenna on her walk. Who wouldn't want to join Jenna? She's straight-forward and thoughtful too: When they reach the market, she buys each animal a well-chosen treat. The book closes with a cozy bedtime scene. I think you and your child will enjoy reading A Beautiful Girl over and over at bedtime, laptime, any time. It's a keeper!

Full disclosure: I know (and admire) Elliott Ingersoll, so I'm biased.

Having said that, speaking as someone who survived working 10 years in the community mental health system, I think this is a wonderful book. I wish I would have had this book when I began working in the field ... it would have saved me a lot of mistakes. Highly recommended.

Because I know both Dr. Ingersoll, and Dr. MacCluskie personally will readily admit that I am just a tad biased when it comes to their work. However these two professors are first-rate intellectuals who know how to guide the would-be practioner deeper.

This book gives the counselor-to-be a window into the world of agency counseling. To their credit, the authors also stress the need, or dare I say, necessity, of "looking inward" as well.

This practical book offers valuable information, suggestions, and guidelines designed to help readers learn how to work effectively in an agency setting. The unifying theme and framework is the value and importance of looking at personal and professional aspects of agency counseling. This text helps the reader look inside themselves as well as outside of themselves at their agency.

This very practical book offers valuable insight to help readers learn how to work effectively in an agency setting. Both authors have had extensive experience in this field, so they know very well what they speak.

The main theme of this book is the importance of looking at personal and professional aspects of agency counseling. Although a little on the expensive side, this book is a necessary read for those who are entering the field, who want to rise above mediocrity.

In my field I must read many research studies dealing with various topics. I've taken research classes and have learned to recognize key statistical concepts but I must admit that I've never fully understood how they work, what they really mean (no pun intended) or how they were derived. Don't get me wrong. I've studied, but most texts were just too advanced right from the start. Now that I've read and worked through the sample questions in this text I finally feel ready to tackle more advanced texts. The language used is clear and concise with clearly presented examples and applications of concepts. The sequencing is well thought out and quite seamless. I highly recommend it for anyone just starting research classes who has had little or no preparation in statistics. However, knowledge of basic algebra is a must. If you haven't had algebra for some time, you may want to brush up a bit.

I sure as heck never had before. I am dyslexic, math phobic, and a graduate student in Psych who must take 1 full year of advanced stat. Terrifed of this prospect, I bought this book. It is, without doubt, the best text book, ever. It is funny (to the point of being downright cheeky), laid out exceedingly well, progresses from one idea to another naturally, and explains all these confusing concepts easily. I actually looked forward to reading it in my spare time, and I promise you, I am not a math geek! There simply is not a better Intro to Statistics book out there. Better than cartoon guide, stats for dummies, etc. Save your money and time and go right to the source.

The only way to safely express the feelings Bill Clinton's conduct produces is the editorial cartoon. The man just defies words. So this was a vintage year for cartoonists - and it shows. The cartoons in this book are just great. They canalise wrath into laughter, but also - on social issues - create the awareness that some matters are too serious to be laughed at.

A very good reason to buy this book: it features some of my own work. Really, this is reason enough to buy this excellent volume. Trust me.
