Cameron Books

As with all books of this type, whether you believe the story or not depends upon how much credence you place in the teller. That's something you must decide for yourself. None of the reviewers, myself included, have any way of knowing whether or not Harold Cameron made up this story. However, some of us value a good tale even if we're uncertain it's a true one.

With or without suspension of disbelief, the author has an old-fashioned, naively pompous, 1950s era narrative voice that sounds charmingly antiquated in a "Father Knows Best" way. His descriptions of family life are evocative of a lost world, full of innocent assumptions that most people no longer hold. This lends the book an almost fairytale quality which makes the intrusion of something otherworldly seem chillingly out of place and sinister. Be warned that these incidents are of the "Haunting of Hill House" sort rather than the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" sort: subtle, disturbing, genuinely creepy; those who are looking for blood and gore will be disappointed.

My personal opinion, for what it's worth, is that the author has mixed local legend and urban myth into his own (true) experiences without making any real distinction between the two. The stories he recounts that are not his own display typical universal themes that attach themselves to any property with a reputation for being haunted. Mr. Cameron was neither an historian nor a sociologist so his wholesale acceptance of local gossip is to be expected, and I find nothing dishonest or suggestive in those blurred lines.

If one wanted to follow up on this story and try to separate true from false, it would probably be impossible in view of the amount of time that's passed and the fact that the house is gone. As it is, the story is gracefully written and suitable for reading by the fire on a chilly fall evening when the rain is streaming down the windows and a knock at the door is best not answered.

You may not actually know who Rhona Cameron is but even if this is the case this is a definate read for anyone who felt a bit different when growing up. Some of the early memories provoked by this autobiography made me laugh and some down right uncomfortable - I'd never let my parents know some of the things I got up to at 13!! I laughed out loud so many times and had to read the book in one sitting as I just couldn't put it down!! By the end I had tears streaming down my face and was left glad that I had been allowed the opportunity to see into Rhona's early life. For many this book will make you realise that in so many ways you weren't alone with what you went through as a teenager!

Este libro de los escritos Zapatistas nos abre una puerta a la mente del revolucionario. Contiene diferentes historias, unidas por temas, que tratan los diferentes aspectos de la vida indigena chiapaneca. No solo nos da informacion sobre los pensamientos, sino tambien nos deja compartir en la tradicion oral de ese estado. Los cuentos son basados en temas cotidianos pero nos dejan con moralejas muy sutiles e impactantes. Yo recomiendo este libro a cualquier persona que quiera abrir sus ojos y su mente a otra realidad--la realidad zapatista.

It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them.

This particular story is poignant - the story of love between an Orca and an Osprey. The tale "explains" the black and white of the Orca, the leaps out of water, and the beautiful songs as the results of this love. Like all Anne Cameron's retelling, this tale is well worth sharing.

Hundreds of composers and what seems to be over a thousand works, most of them obscure. It is a wonderful little handbook which, whenever possible, states also the duration of pieces, publisher, style, difficulty, and any other information you may need to locate the score. There are some major works missing from it, for example George Crumb's Celestial Mechanics, Yvar Mikhashof's arrangement of Conlon Nancarrow's Sonatina, Ravel's Rhapsodie Espagnole or Lucien Garban's arrangement of his La Valse, Stravinsky's Petroushka or The Rite of Spring (both composed first for this medium and later orchestrated by the composer), John Corigliano's Gazebo Dances. And these are the ones I am aware of, who knows how many others have been overlooked. Nevertheless you have 312 solid pages of works for one piano four hands (not two pianos!) from A-Z. A must for any duo pianist out there.

Review: This book attempts to describe the major fields in industrial/organizational psychology. For a textbook designed for use in an introductory-level course, it does its job fairly well.
This book is very easy to use, and utilizes most of the more common aids to direct the reader to the most-salient information in each chapter, such as using bold-face for definitions and breaking the chapter up into several sections. It also provides a tremendous amount of additional information used to strengthen and support what is presented in each chapter. Most of this work is accomplished using the sides of each page, which is common in most current textbooks. The sheer number of visual aids used throughout the book is impressive, and despite the frequency with which they are used, they are usually helpful.
The single greatest fault that I can raise with this textbook is that, quite simply, the scope is so broad. Its purpose is to present the reader with a brief exposure to each of the major fields in I-O Psychology, and it succeeds in doing this. However, many of the chapters feel a little too general, especially towards the end of the book, when the authors are still presenting more subsets of I-O Psychology. Several chapters are used in the front of the book to give the reader a working terminology for the book and a basic theoretical framework needed to better understand some of the more difficult concepts in this field. Since the book never moves beyond an introduction to all these subsets of I-O Psychology, however, it seems as if some of this information could be trimmed down so that more depth could be achieved in some of the later chapters. Of course, the danger with this approach might be that the book would move beyond the purpose for which it was intended.
For the most part, this is a well-constructed, informative textbook, and serves to introduce its readers to I-O Psychology. The chapters flow very well, and the textbook is broken down nicely so that the reader is never overwhelmed with too much information at one sitting. Some chapters are more effective than others, and some of the introductory chapters seem a bit unnecessary, but those are essentially the book's only failings.
This is a good textbook that I would recommend to anyone looking for information on I-O Psychology. At the very least, it will help readers determine where their true interest is in this field and provide them with a good working vocabulary as well.
