Excellent delivery and well worth for the money very good presentation will deal again highly recommended

As an occupational therapy student currently assigned to a physical dysfunction site, I have found this text to be the most valuable. I advise any student taking the NBCOT exam or begining a affilitation in physical dysfunction to purchase this text!!

As an OT student, I've used this book more in clinic (rehab settings) than any other text I own. It is an invaluable reference for manual muscle testing and goniometery. Trombly carries over from class to clinic with ease, and I've even had OTRs borrow it during my fieldwork.

OT for Physical Dysfunction proved to be indispensible both in school and in practice. This text has practice skills in assessment and treatment organized for use in problem-based and in evidence-based learning courses. Treatment principles are outlined with actual therapy techniques, sample documentation and specific information to treat different diagnoses with photos. Absolutely my most-used text.

I work with secondary students who have reading problems. My students have enjoyed both of C. Anne Scott's books, Old Jake's Skirts and Lizard Meets Ivana the Terrible. The books are easy for them to read and keep them entertained. Both books have messages that kids outside the "norm" can relate to. I really enjoyed reading both these books as well, and the illustrations are well done - especially in Old Jakes' Skirts. Both books are positive in nature, but never preachy. I highly recommend both.

First of all, the illustrations in this book are priceless! When I first read it to my children, I could barely turn a page without their comments and chuckles about an expression on a character or some other subtle detail they noticed. Secondly, as a home-educating mother, this book is a gold mine of themes: honesty, resourcefulness, spirituality, social skills, death, generosity, and most of all, positive attitude. My children, ages 3 and 5 are a bit young for all it has to offer but they still enjoy it immensely and request it frequently. I would recommend this to any child ages 7 and up. It is a beautiful volume that really makes your children think...and ask questions!

This is a wonderful book about how a life can be changed by an unexpected gift, and how the love of someone can spread to others who are unknown to them. I read this to my little girl, and almost couldn't finish it--I was crying so. It is a very meaningful book, and shows how God's providence can change our lives and the lives of those around us.

I almost forgot about the illustrations! They are vivid, and express the joy of a life that has been changed by love.

I'm sorry, this review is really sappy, but I loved this book!

Old Jake is a curmudgeon. He lives alone on his farm and likes it that way. Jake just doesn't take to people. His dog Shoestring is enough company for him.

On his monthly trip to town for supplies, Jake and Shoestring find a battered old trunk resting in the middle of the road, and Jake leaves the unknown owner a lost and found note at the store. Months later, when no one has claimed the trunk, Old Jake finds many uses for its contents of calico skirts.

Jake uses the skirts to mop up rainwater that leaked through the roof of his home during a rain storm, dresses up his scarecrow, patches clothes and makes neckerchiefs for himself and Shoestring. His farm is now bright and prettied up. At least he and the church ladies think so.

One day a young girl and her father arrive at the farm looking for the trunk as it had contained the skirts of the man's wife who recently died. Old Jake expresses his sorrow and explains what has happened to the skirts. He gives the young girl the last one, now hanging outside on the clothesline. Jake also gives the young girl a beautifully hand-carved doll dressed in a calico skirt.

I love this story! It is about an unexpected gift that keeps on giving. The skirts transform Old Jake's attitude and behavior, and in turn, his transformation is felt by other people.

I would suggest that this is a book best read to children over age 7 as it is quite lengthy and pretty heavy on text.

The illustrations are stunning and could be framed!

I bought this book 10 years ago when my first daughter was born. The words flow and the illustrations are beautiful. It's a nice cozy sit down and cuddle with your kids before bed book. I keep it on the shelf and each Christmas season it comes out and gets read several times. A classic!

This book is a wonderful book for a quiet calm, nighttime story during the Christmas Holidays. It has calming text, calming pictures and yet it captures the majesty and awe that is Christmas better than any other Christmas story I've read. If you have young children and love Christmas, I heartily recommend this book.

This book builds up the mystery of Christmas. It begins with children snuggled in their beds, just as in Twas the Night Before Christmas. But these children can't sleep- -they want to touch the Christmas tree. They go downstairs and look at the tree and all the gifts. Then instead of hearing the clatter of hooves on the roof, they hear Christmas carolers out in the yard. Listening to the carolers, they return to their beds. The pictures and words capture the mystery and excitement of Christmas, without trying to impart a lesson or moral. All told, the book contains about 550 words.

I have been reading this book to preschoolers and Kindergarteners for over 15 years. They all love it. The book I have is an older edition and it only has a few colors in the illustrations. It doesn't matter, though. The words are so descriptive that the children are captivated. That's quite an accomplishment in today's world of TV and DVDs!

As a Florida native having spent some time on the rivers in the backwoods, I relived the sights, sounds, smells and excitment of discovering Florida's natural treasures with Addie and Tanner at Uncle Henry's bait shop on the Oonawasee! Melissa Forney captures with lucious details the same kinds of people and places I remember from my childhood visits to the river. Her story gives life to the REAL Florida which is rapidly disappearing. Teachers will love the story's vivid descriptions for classroom reading, along with the wonderful illustrated glossary of fabulous Florida facts!

In Oonawassee Summer, Addie and Tanner (two twelve-year-old cousins) are spending the summer with their grandma and great-uncle on the backs of the Oonawassee River in Southern Florida. That is where they engage in exploration, discovery, and find intrigue and adventure. Although the river is fictional, Melissa Forney's fun and engaging novel is enhanced with a wealth of factual information about jon boats, river otters, cypress trees, herons, alligators, cast nets, and other fascinating details of life in southern Florida. Highly recommended reading for boys and girls ages 8 to 12.

Oonawassee Summer is a fabulous book! My fourth grade students simply loved it! It is chalked full of knowledge about Florida and life on the river. My students' related with the book's two young characters,Addie and Tanner. They loved the sense of adventure and all the mystery and suspense. A definite must read for children ages 8-12. You will never feel the same about dangling your feet off a pier into murky river water again.

Opening Doors Within: 365 Daily Meditations from Findhorn
This takes me back to words my own Mother would offer. Always pointing back to faith and hope and commitment. Not a bad place to put your feet in day to day choas.

This book found its way to my hands in 1992. It is astounding...and simply magic! Countless times I would read the message for the day and it provided the perfect guidance for things that were happening in my life. It's a great book and a great gift. Plus if you travel a lot it does not take up much space at all and can be a constant companion. Thank you, dear Eileen Caddy, for such a jewel!

This is a book that every one should have and use on a regular basis. I think that if this were the case there would be more happines and tolerance in the world. I have recomended this book to a number of people and each of them has sent me a message saying thank you and that the book was helping them in many ways.

To have in hands this small book, after reading some sentences, makes us to thank deeply in our heart. They are small spiritual jewels driven to our heart. The larger merit of Eileen Caddy's work is to give truthfulness to God speaking and supplying us with His immense Love. I recommend the whole ones!

This book has been by my side for over 5 years, traveled half way around the world, and never ceases to amaze me with how timely it is. I've made tiny notes in the margins and can track my progress in life. It is a very life-affirming and self-validating book.

I loved the book. Couldnt wait until I finished it, and never wanted to put it down. I was kept on the edge of my seat minute for minute. Everything was so clear that I felt like I was in the story.

I really enjoyed Operation Nightwatch. It was hard to put it down once I started reading it. The scenes came alive and I could imagine myself in the story as it unfolded. Al Jones really kept me on the edge of my seat. And what better men to save the day, then men in uniform who protect the rights that we take for granted. It's nice that the gang violence was the center of the story line to make awareness known. I can't tell you how much I really enjoyed reading it!

OPERATION NIGHTWATCH is a "must read" intriguing account of a world whose existence we often fail to acknowledge - the world of gangs. Mr. Jones' writing also provides insight into covert activities of authority figures in our society. This mission involving Navy Seals is fascinating.

Perhaps the greatest aspect of this novel is the hope it offers those trapped in a seemingly hopeless situation. Great reading!

OPERATION: NIGHTWATCH is action packed from cover to cover! Although this book is fiction, the subject matter of gangs and violence is very real in today's society. The Navy Seals to the Rescue!!?? This is from an avid reader of four or five books weekly.

My son loves these books and it is a way to teach your kids to embrace the joy of reading...

I love the Baby Blues comics. The Our Server is Down scrapbook is my current favorite. As a mother of three, I can relate to just about everything in it. On days I need a pick-me-up, I can count on Baby Blues to give me a smile!

This is the best Baby Blues book yet. I loved every page.

IF you are a stay at home mom and need some laughs get this book! Each page I just kept saying, "That is how it is in my house!" I felt like Wanda! Awesome book

This is a great story for anyone that is into imagination! Let Earl take you on an adventurous journey! The Trees have them down and out Blues and to resuce is no other than Outer Space Earl.

This book was exciting from the start! Earl and Grandpa are out to help save the tress because of their "Blues!" For my younger child the book was a great tool for helping her learn how to read, and most importantly she had enjoyed it!

This book is very well written and so much fun. Grandpa and Earl really keep you entertained with their silly tactics, and we cannot wait for the next adventure that Outer Space Earl takes us on! Love this book and these characters!

Exciting story line with great illistrations that entertain along with the story. CD read along allows my kids to follow the story and with the sound of chimes knows when to turn the page. Great book for kids starting to read. I will get other books in the Long Hill series.

My name is not hank, in fact, this is a friend's acct. I have not yet read this book, but scott promised to send me one, because my name is christina, book-less. Please scott, send me the book. ch

This book is unusually real. It's got absurdity and realism, comedy and tragedy, all wrapped up in a taco shell with lots of hot sauce and dirty mouth talking. Reminds me of my own life, something I don't often find in books. Among E and alcohol, and the deadness of day to day living in a retail store, he plumbs the depths of eternal cosmic quandaries, which (of course) lands him in a nut house. This book reminds me of David Foster Wallace and Hunter S. Thompson, with a form like the Beats. Some of his descriptions of drug-induced mental states are the best I've seen. My only complaint is that the book could have been longer. I'll be waiting for more. Twenty years old? That blows me away.

Sometimes it takes a work of fiction to provide insight into the real world. Outlet Or A Heaven Full Of Televisions by Scott Sundvall is just such a minor masterpiece of literate fiction. Characterized by the 20-year-old author as a "memoir with elaborations", Outlet follows the questings of a lowly shoe salesman in an outlet mall, from his road trip to Mexico where the meaning of life has a price tag of one dollar; to a vodka and psychedelic binge that brings him to death's door, to confronting suicide and disappearance among his friends, and much more. Charged with emotion in an emotionally bereft world, the protagonist struggles and searches for purpose in this roller coaster ride of a novel.

This book was definitely something new in style and form; it certainly captured a lot of contemporary, generational stuff. It's definitely worth the read, especially from a literary standpoint--which leads me to: Is this book disjointed on purpose, or is the narrative structure just in complete disarray?

Ha--I guess it makes me want to read it again. Strange, strange ending.
