Edward Books

Anyone who has any childhood memories at all will love this book, don't read it without a box of kleenex close by

This is a book about Christmas memories as told from the every perspective. Everything from the house's perspective to the people living in the house to the people's pet. I really enjoyed reading this book. The different ways the stories of Christmas are told really makes the book that much better. The illustrations in this book really draw you into the story. This would be a great book to use in a writing lesson on perspective. I really enjoyed the way the author flipped the story around between people, pets and the actual house.

Being a first grade teacher and avid children's literature fan, I came across this book in our school library. The cover was absolutely gorgeous and it invited me to open it up. The author allows you to view how each family member remembers the highs and lows of Christmas, including the family pets. When I read the book to my class, the conversations and discussion tumbled into building Christmas memories and traditions of their own. This story catapulted us into one of the most memorable teaching experiences of my life. I highly reccommend it to anyone who works with children. When I shared this book with other faculty members, each had the same response,"Where can I get it?" I am unsure why this book is not being printed. Perhaps the publisher needs to receive a few phone calls! This book is a million emotion investment!!

Very fast delivery. The quality of the book is great.
Thanks a lot!

"This is a fine book. At once readable and sophisticated, it is a challenging interpretation of the theoretical and practical significance of civil society as a concept and as a basis for action and hope about the future. Edwards writes with verve and lucidity, and draws upon his wide knowledge to reinforce his general points with an astonishing range of specific examples. It is, in my view, the best short treatment of the subject, and bound to be widely read and discussed."

Anne of Green Gables is about an orphan that gets picked to go with avery nice woman and her sweet shy brother but it was all an accident. It was an accident because the woman and her brother wanted a boy to help the man do the work outside because his back was hurting and he needed help, but when they sent a lady named Nancy to the orphanige, she made a mistake and told the orphanige they wanted a girl. But because the lady and her brother became very fond of her and began to like her, they decided to keep her. The woman's name is Marilla and her brother's name is Matthew. The orphan's name is Anne. Anne is a 12 year old girl with a huge imagination. She talks alot but Matthew and Marilla don't mind. they kind of like it. Anne has red, long and curly hair. She doesn't like it but she thinks it is't bad. She finally went to school after she settled in. she made lots of friends, but her best friend is a girl who lives next to her. Her name is Diana. they love each other alot. Anne uses big words and likes poems and books that have sad and romantic endings. she is sometimes a trouble maker but did alot of useful things and is a good girl. She is really good with kids because before she came to Green Gables, she used to live 2 families. the first one, the woman's husband died and she moved to live with her mothr in law but she didn't want Anne . The second family, the same thing happened to the husband, he died and the wife and her kids went to a different state. But the reason she became really good with kids was because the second familt who went to another state had 8 kids including 3 sets of twins.
This book is amazing because everything i mentioned wasn't even half of what Anne does and her adventures. I really love this book because children and adults love it. I know adults would like it because my mom read it and she really likes it, so i'm pretty sure aduls would like it. When my parents bought it for me, i couldn't stop reading it. I didn't even have a boring part because all the parts are either funny or catching. I had alot of favorite parts but i really liked the part when Anne and her friends were playing Elaine. It is a poem and they wanted to act it out. so some one had to get in a bout and act dead and the other gils would push her and the bout in the water. And the girl who did it was Anne. If you like books exitment and amazment, you will surely like Anne of Green Gables.

This series is a wonderful way to introduce your children to literature. I have an 8 yr old and a 6 year old. All I have to do is read them the first chapter and my 8 year old keep reading to the 6 year old. They have read through this book as well as 8-9 others in this series. Each one keeps them captivated and encourages a love of reading.

Mr. Richards is America's greatest living photojournalist. The depth of his social commitment to his subjects is equaled only by his amazing ability to compose the picture perfectly.

Cocaine true, Cocaine Blue represents the best of Eugene Richards. If Robert Capa's maxim about your pictures being close to be good is true, then Richards work is hands down about as close as anyone is getting.

This book focuses on the impact of crack cocaine in three eastern cities -- North Philadelphia, Harlem, and Red Hook, New Jersey.

Richards seems to have none of the fear that would stop most people, because his pictures bring a viewer over the comfort line to become shocking. The scenes exceed imagination. In fact, one of his pictures in this book was challenged for its authenticity because it seemed almost too perfect... In it, a women pauses to look at her John, her hands on his zipper, with her young child watching her. On a wall behind her, a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr. is displayed. Some black political leaders saw this picture and insisted that Richards must have set it up. He could only assert that he was truthful in his portrayal.

Truth is always stranger than fiction. This might be photojournalism's answer to magical realism: there is a wickedness and abandon to this world. The cover picture is another example -- the photograph shows an addict holding a syringe in his mouth. His eyes gleam in a way that suggests the insanity in the spirit of this individual.

Richards is for the most part a photographer who works inside America. Some domestic photographers lament that all of the best photographs are made in wars, and that the situations in our home communities preclude us from being able to make great pictures. Eugene Richards shows how this is false. He takes horrifying pictures in Long Island, in Philadelphia, in West Virginia, in Kansas City.

Eugene Richards, one of the worlds best photojournalist, has a gift to not only photograph well but also write about his subjects equally as well! He shows the world a part of this world many do not see nor wish to see. This is one of those photo books that a good photographer must have to essentially help to chisel a path in the photography world for themselves! Taking this style to learn and grow from! One can learn much by the raw and realness of Richard's Cocaine life pictorial!

Being a surgeon and having practised since 1954, I can highly recommend this work as very true and expertly written. This is one of the few works that gives a realistic picture of events of the times and will become a part of the history of this turbulent period. I can see why those exposed to the 'LIBERAL MEDIA" would not appreciate it as much as the younger generation has only been exposed to the views so accurately portrayed by others in this masterpiece.

Code Blue by Edward Annis is a fantastic study into the political history between the liberal and conservative movements. The front line of that battle has been in health care. Dr. Annis's acquaintance with many key players in this battle, throughout this century, offers us a rare opportunity to understand what is really happening to health care and our federal government. The two other reviewers here somewhat degrade the value of the book by their inability to check his references. One does not need references to believe his tales because what he predicted has come to pass. The 1996/1998 campaign battles and the current discussions in Congress prove the truth of this book. Americans should not face the 2000 campaign talks without a knowledge of the history presented in Code Blue. I bought and gave away this book 4 times and now treasure my only copy. If it's not going to be reprinted, I plan to see that it's truth gets widely published online.

This is a great book. It shows how American medicine is being socialized to the detriment of patients.

On managed competition/care, the author observes, "Government cannot preserve high quality health care, prompt service, and freedom of choice without allowing health care providers the freedom to meet demand; Government cannot reduce the regulatory burden...government cannot apply price controls without creating shortages and rationing care...." Dr. Annis points out, "Finagle all they will, bureaucrats and entrepreneurs will never overcome the problem of excessive costs without correcting the basic flaw: the system of third-party payers, whether government or corporate."

Code Blue shows how with "minimal changes in our tax laws, Medisave accounts would empower the patient by breaking the tie between job and health insurance and even would allow the gradual phasing out of Medicare," wrote Jerome C. Arnett, Jr., M.D. for the Medical Sentinel.

Here are some pertinent comments from various publications:

"I strongly suggest that the public read this book before swallowing the nostrums currently discussed nightly on the news. It could, one day, be the difference between living or dying." -The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Dr. Annis' leadership of the AMA in the early 1960s, with his championing of the principles of individual rights and free markets, is in sharp contrast to the philosophy of the current AMA leadership, who refuse to confront the current administration but instead seem satisfied to ask for 'a seat at the table.' "-Jerome C. Arnett, Jr., M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association.

What the press has not told the public-but Dr. Annis does-is that health care problems have a "Made in Washington" label.

A few copies of this book are still available through Hacienda Publishing, Inc. through a special arrangement with the original publisher, Regnery Publishing.

I was given this book by my father when I was seven years old and was thoroughly enchanted by it, and remain so to this day. The Owl and the Pussy Cat has passed into children's lore - many people know the rhyme through the song (was it Burl Ives?) or through new illustrated versions of it. They know the limericks (or at least the form, if not the rather esoteric content - the old man with the Beard, for instance, and the lady with the excessively long chin who

had it made sharp
and purchased a harp
and played several tunes with her chin).

But do they know of The Dong with the Luminous Nose, or the Pobble Who Has No Toes, or the short history of Violet, Slingsby, Guy, and Lionel? Or the illustrated botanical alphabet with such plants as the ManyPeeplia Upsidedownia (you'd have to see the drawing!) It would be impossible to say how many times I read, re-read, and enjoyed this book as a child and an adult, including the rather touching, affectionate introduction to the man himself.

Please, please buy this book. You'll never regret it.

The book is a lot of fun, but it can also be a serious tool for understanding English through its inventive vocabulary and the vivid imagery of the poems.

This is an "unabidged and unaltered repliication of the work originally published 1947" which "is printed in an edition limited to 400 copies" by Amereon House, the publishing division of Amereron Ltd.

It includes the text and ilustrations of Lear's five pubished nonsense works and Holbrook Jackson's introduction titled "Edward Lear: Laureate of Nonsense".

A book to share and to treasure...Order your copy while stocks last.

The new edition of this book provides updates on the models of mediation, advocacy, and negotiation that were provided in the first edition. The new edition also adds creative models of mediation, including healing circles, deep listening, and trust building.

Bought this book as required text for a social work course. Best textbook I've ever used. Great explanations of concepts and interesting exercises.

Teaches you how to get not just what you want, but what others want, too. Great cases and examples to show you how to mediate and negotiate... especially how to be prepared for tough situations in practice.

Although I am not inclined to believe in any supernatural realm, I read the three books in this series, in order. There is no doubt in my mind that the author is a very original thinker. If I were ever to believe in something supernatural, this would be it. However, the ethical sytem the author (or God, it doesn't matter) put forward is, to my knowledge, very new and very different from everything I knew. It is not easy reading; you need a very open mind to accept concepts such as "there is no right or wrong" or "God is not a vengeful god that punishes with eternal torments" I had to read several chapters more than once, and I can say this. Whether you go along with everything in the theology or not, I for one fully embraced the ethical system. It is to my thinking much more advanced, more "human", and likely to lead to much more happiness than anything I knew previously. Our world would be an immensely better place if this were the prevalent ethics. I read that the book has been translated to 26 languages and has touched the lives of millions all over the world. It sure touched mine! I strongly recommend that you challenge yourself to read the three books, and not reject anything off hand. Read the paragraphs you feel to be more "shocking" more than once and give the subject a lot of thought. After the third book, you will have found many concepts revisited more than once, and the whole picture will impress you as very consistent and well rounded. You might feel that not only you acquired new and important concepts, but also that your whole world outlook was changed. In short, your life may have been touched too.

I have read all of Neale's books and now want them on Cd so I can listen to the god/goddess voices that are perfect and sound just as I imagine god/goddess to sound. I purchased book 1 on cd and now plan on getting the collection for my car trips to remind me of my truth and that I am never alone. These books have changed my life as well as my husbands.

This book is GREAT. In fact, the entire collection of CWG books are among the BEST ever written. The deep wisdom shared in these books coincide completely with the unspoken truth that has resided within my heart for as long as I can remember. As I read these words, my heart recognized the profound truth spoken in these books. Reading these books have caused my entire perspective of all of life to shift in an amazing way. I recommend the CWG books to all. Especially for those who are ready to remember the highest truths, see the light beyond the deceptions & false teachings of many organized religions & of our misinformed society & find the true MEANING in life -- The true meaning of "God".

I purchased this book, obviously, for a class,and I thought it was actually interesting. I had many texts that literally put me to sleep, but this one is different. It makes you think about the penal system in this country, and introduces issues to make you think about things other than locking up the bad guys and throwing away the key. My husband even wanted to read it when I finished my class!!! Recommend highly!!!!

Wow! What a great and interesting textbook. I think this is the first time I've actually been "current" in the reading required for a college course. I'd like to add that the study guide that you can purchase to accompany this textbook is excellent as well. I'd recommend a course that uses this book to anyone with an interest in criminal justice or corrections.

I am using this textbook in a class and it is a whopper. Wonderful pictures, easy to read, clear colors and understandable. I've been working in prisons for 5 years and this book makes a lot of sense. You ought to read their sections on women in prison and on probation. I loved the parts on geriatric prisoners (old cons) and the death penalty. And it is easy to read. More!

Latessa and Allen have provided an excellent resource for students of Criminal Justice, and professors alike. This text is concise, very readable, and extremely current, while offering a depth and breadth of information regarding the role and importance of Community Corrections throughout history and today. Many thanks to both authors!

As an adjunct professor at the University of Central Florida, I use this text to supplement my Community-Based Corrections class (it was too late in the semester to order it for the main text). It is very readable, written in a good continuim of information, and includes review questions, key terms, and recommended readings. The instructor's guide includes a test bank disk and an overview of each chapter. Student objectives, instructor's aides, and test questions (essay, short-answer, multiple-choice, and true/false) are included (with correct answer, of course!) My students generate a lot of floor discussion with the topics in this book.

I am a 3rd year Criminal Justice student and I must say that this is probably the best text that I have ever had. It is interesting, easy to read and very scholastic. It is actually a pleasure to read this book.
