Fallon Books

Typical info nicely arranged.Some statistics and history.No investment ideas or spicifics on who invests.

I was hoping to learn more about my daughter's PDD but only learned that the author, a chiropractor, believes chiropractic care is THE way to treat "it". The book is very poorly written and seems to give facts about PDD, sensory integration and ADD that could have easily been taken from any text on those subjects. I felt let down and cheated when the chiropractic angle was introduced near the end of the book. I wanted to learn more about PDD but it was not to be with this book. Don't waste your money. If you want a truly informative book with great lists (broken down into age groups), read "The Out of Sync Child" by Carol Stock Kranowitz. THIS is the book that gave me great insight to my child's PDD and sensory integration issues. I felt as though the author could see into my house and was talking about my child.

I HAVE USED THIS BOOK EXTENSIVELY AS A POINT OF CONTACT FOR PARENTS WHO ARE DISCOVERING THAT THEIR CHILD HAS A DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEM. I FOUND DR. FALLON'S CHECKLIST TO BE A FANTASTIC VEHICLE FOR PARENTS TO FIRST DIGEST THEIR CHILD'S PROBLEM.

UNLIKE SOME OF THE REVIEWERS, I NEVER SAW THIS TEXT TO BE A CLAIM FOR CHIROPRACTIC TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER MODALITY FOR TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN WITH PDD. OTHER MODALITIES RECEIVE EQUAL TIME AND ATTENTION.

FOR ANY NEW PARENT WHO IS TRYING TO DETERMINE IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THEIR CHILD THIS BOOK IS THE BEST

As the parents of a "special needs" child, sorting through the jargon and understanding the issues around her disability are vital to giving her the best chance in life that we can. This book has been an outstanding source for us. It clearly and effectively communicates the types of conditions we - and she - are facing.

Our child was originally mis-diagnosed with ADHD. Through this book and our own experience, we have learned that many children like ours display symptoms that cannot be clearly classified into neat little boxes. As a result, they require the kind of multi-dimensional therapy that Dr. Fallon advocates.

This is an excellent resource for any parent who wants to know how to help their child and be better informed when dealing with doctors.

If you are looking to see if your child may have a problem.. this is the book for you! An informative check list highlights the book where parents can determine if their child has a problem worth pursuing. This is a checklist whereby parents won't be mis lead.

I do not see this volume as a vehicle for the authors chiroparctic background but rather a vehicle for the novice who knows little about sensory integration and other issues confronting the child.

I have given this book to countless parents in my practice when I have been unable to get them to understand that there may be a problem with their child. For those of you who see a problem, and can not convince your son, dughter patient etc to seek help, this is the book for you!

The other reveiwers were looking at this as some cure all book...hogwash I say........never did the author state anywhere that her chiropratic could help with anything other than sensory integration for these PDD children.

Go get the book now!!!

Don't be mislead by the title. I was looking for good information on PDD-NOS and this book was a "let-down".

I too have used this book for two semesters of Con Law. In my opinion it is the absolute worst casebook I have ever had to use.

The comments after the cases do nothing to clarify anything and frankly as a 1L you will be too busy reading for all your other classes you won't have time to read the 50 pages of comments after every case anyway.

If you have to use this casebook, you'd better hope that you get a good professor or at least get Gilberts/Emanuel!

Yes, the text is pretty dense and makes for a slow read, but the the detailed index and sheer volume of cases makes this a valuable resource. No, it's not ideal for a soak in the tub or as a coffee table volume, but useful nonetheless.

This is definitely the worst casebook I have come across so far. It weighs a ton too. You absolutely need to buy a supplement if you want to understand anything. A huge amount of space is devoted to notes and comments most of which are meaningless and incomprehensible to most 1Ls. As someone already said, if you can avoid this book, you're lucky.

We used this book for two semesters of Constitutional Law at law school. Even so we covered less than half of it. It is not easy reading but when used with other study aids or Lexis the cases become more clear.

If you are looking at this for law school purposes you probably don't have a choice. For those of you who are non students just looking for a book on constitutional law I would not recommend it. It is just too dense. Guess that is why it is used in a teaching environment.

The textbook is extremely difficuilt to read. The exceptions from the articles which are supposed to help in the understanding of the case complicate issue even more. You have to supplement reading of this book with hornbook or Emanuel/Gilbert. If you can avoid this book feel yourself lucky

I am not familiar with much of the "Images of America" series, but if this is a representative example, the series is very limited in its scope.

"Images of America: Woodstock" is nice collection of photographs accompanied by the author's largely personal captioning. Unfortunately, the captions are so personal that the book loses the broader appeal it could have had. Most people unfamiliar with Woodstock would get little if any sense of a town of considerable historical interest.

I got the sense that the author did little more than contact her considerable extended family and the local historical society.

This is the Woodstock of 60s fame. But in the 60s, it already had a long and notable history as an artists' colony (which is in part why it became what it did in the 60s). Very nearly none of this comes through the uneven, skewed selection of poorly commented photos.

Ultimately, this is a book of one person's interesting collection of extended family photos -- not a book about Woodstock.
