Book Description
Ways with Words is a classic study of children learning to use language at home and at school in two communities only a few miles apart in the south-eastern United States. ‘Roadville’ is a white working-class community of families steeped for generations in the life of textile mills; ‘Trackton’ is a black working-class community whose older generations grew up farming the land but whose current members work in the mills. In tracing the children’s language development the author shows the deep cultural differences between the two communities, whose ways with words differ as strikingly from each other as either does from the pattern of the townspeople, the ‘mainstream’ blacks and whites who hold power in the schools and workplaces of the region. Employing the combined skills of ethnographer, social historian, and teacher, the author raises fundamental questions about the nature of language development, the effects of literacy on oral language habits, and the sources of communication problems in schools and workplaces.

important piece of work.......2007-05-04
As a graduate student in English, I am not one who wanted to take any courses on rhetoric and composition. I signed up for one class this semester that focused on literacy and race. This book was a required reading. I was actually one of the only students who liked this book. Heath immerses herself in the communities of Trackton and Roadville. As an instructor of some of the local teachers, she decided to look into the literacy learning of these two communities. Trackton, an all black community, consists of people reading to learn. In Roadville, the all-white community is struggling with desegregation and parents wanting their children to learn the "right" things. The study of the Piedmont Carolinas--the area where the two communities are located--is important because it specifies that culture has everything to do with the way language and literacy is learned. I give it four stars because in the course of a ten year study, it did not seem as if she gathered a lot of research. She seemed to focus only on their lifestyles.
Shirley Brice Heath Has a "Way With Words".......2000-08-23
Language is power. Heath, a reflective practitioner of both human nature and schooling, provides an in-depth view of communities which epitomize the struggle for such power. In her ethnographic study of Trackton and Roadville, Heath lays bare the socializing process of children through words. The discontinuity between home and school is disturbing; a realization that students who do not fit the traditional way of schooling are left behind. Clearly illustrated is the need for teachers and students to bridge the gap which exists in relation to both language and culture, for without this effort some students will never acquire the power needed to take control of their education or pursue opportunities from which they have previously been excluded. This is must reading for student ethnographers, doctoral students, and those dedicated to school reform, particularly those in the areas of diversity in public schools, and language. This extraordinary book compares favorably to "Growing Up Literate: Learning From Inner-City Families" by Denny Taylor & Catherine Dorsey-Gaines.
A Teacher's View.......2000-04-03
Teaching in a high school with a large number of minority children can be challenging. After reading this book, recommended by the debate teacher, I feel that I am better prepared. This book is an excellent resource for those wanting to understand the student from a background different form their own. If you plan to work in public school, this book is a must-read. I borrowed a friend's book, and then decided I had to have a copy of my own.

AP Calculus.......2007-01-04
It's concise and clear for a review book. No use if you're LEARNING form it though, since it's designed to invoke and strengthen memory rather than to explain and teach. Great, challenging questions with good explanations.
good as a supplement to the class.......2005-09-10
This is a book that is best for final preparation for the exam. Last year, in BC Calculus, I was absent for the series and sequences lessons due to an illness and I came back for a test studying through the Barron's books and I had trouble understanding it. The tests are definitely a lot harder than the real thing. I studied my [...] off and got a 5 on the actual exam as well as a 5 on the AB subscore.
A Fair Book.......2005-07-16
This book is very comprehensive, too many details at times. The practice test is a little bit more difficult than the actual test. It is not very well organized or appealing to look. There aren't enough diagrams and pictures for visual learners.
Very helpful.......2004-10-01
I had several sources to help me do well in AP Calculus AB. One of them was this book.
Finney, Demana et al. "Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic" just doesn't include enough problems. To boot, the presentation is pretty poor as too many images are bombarded at your eyes. Barron's includes a lot of extra problems for you to make sure you can apply what you know.
Provided that you work hard in class and outside, this book can help you get a five.
a bit harder than actual test.......2004-09-26
I bought two books, barrons' and Princeton's. The former was much harder to understand and contains more information than the latter. When I studied
Princeton's, I was relieved, but when I studied barrons I
became afraid that the test was really that hard. However,
when I took the real test, I found that the actual test
was more like Princeton's than Barrons'; and I got 5 on
the exam. I recommend you to buy this book for experiencing
the hardest questions that would be on the actual exam.
If you only use Princeton's, you may be frustrated to find
that there are some questions that aren't on the Princeton's
practice exams.
Book Description
You're right to be cautious when you hear these words:
"I'm telling you, we're just friends."
Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for "friendships" that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.
Customer Reviews:
Not "Just Friends".......2007-10-05
My husband had an affair with a co-worker for about a year and I just found out on July 1st of this year. The devastation felt was overwhelming and you cannot think straight nor understand the why of the entire thing. This book gave me a road map to understanding my husbands actions and weakness since we have been married for 30 yrs and he never did anything like this before. We had a happy and relatively good marriage so that made it more difficult to understand. It has helped both my husband and I to overcome the guilt, shame, anger and hurt that a betrayal of this type brings to a so called "Happily Married Couple." We are on the road to recovery and are closer and more intimate than we have been in years.
I hightly recommend this book to anyone who has been unfaithful or has been betrayed.
Not 'just friends'.......2007-09-20
This book literally has saved our marriage. i read it and resumed some dignity from what I read, and my husband read it and is aware of the mistakes he has made and not even aware of it. Excellent book to read, before you decide to walk out that door.
Highly Recommended!.......2007-09-07
I appreciate this book so much. Shirley Glass sure knows her stuff. I went through a nightmare of grief, feeling like my whole world had shattered this summer when I found out that my husband had been keeping secrets, having numerous emotional affairs during the past few years and a porn obsession. After giving his emotional energy to others and his sexual energy to porn, he had absolutely nothing left over for me, and our marriage of 26 years nearly ended. I no longer felt safe in the relationship and felt like I was going crazy. We're trying to get our relationship back on track and this book has been very educational and helpful in understanding infidelity, why affairs happen, how to prevent them from happening, and what to expect afterward. It was reassuring to know that I wasn't crazy--that the whirlwind of grief, anger, and other volatile emotions I was feeling was normal in the aftermath of such a betrayal. There is also a section on healing that I've found very helpful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has suffered from an unfaithful spouse.
it's good-bye.......2007-07-03
This is an excellent read for a person who has experienced a heart-breaking end to a relationship. Most of what is written is common sense but too often common sense flys out the window when a person is involved in a highly-charged, emotional break-up. I believe the book would benefit both men and women but I think it will draw its largest readership from women.
Stability, Hope and Self-Love When Your Mind is Spinning .......2007-06-18
I am a very private person, even in my pain. However, the help this book provided me in the time of my crisis was irreplaceable and as I feel there may be others who are experiencing what I experienced or have gone through the pain of either emotional or sexual infidelity with their partners, my need to praise and review this book went beyond me and my need for privacy in order to possibly help someone else. From cover to cover it was as if Dr. Glass was reading my mind, the mind of my spouse, had already anticipated his and my actions and was uncovering the layers of the betrayal partner with precision, which as I unearthed more information, shined clear through like an xtray into her character and actions. This book helped me to calm my mind and spirit and understand the many angles that are created to birth the possibility of an affair into existence. My husband and I suffered some set backs, mostly related to the aspect of "lies of omission" and/or our being separated for four months, but Dr. Glass' book was with me and later us(he later agreed to read the book) each step with timely precision. Although it has been over three years since the disclosure of my spouse's emotionally intimate betrayal, which itself lasted for almost three years, I still find solice in Dr. Glass' work when "triggered" by certain reminders or behavior in myself or from my husband. She was a definite godsend to me at a time I thought my implicit trust was my own undoing. I literally cried when I found out she had passed. I felt her work blessed me that much. After 15 years of marriage, both I and my husband attempt to be vigilent in using many of the ideas and suggestions Dr. Glass puts forth in her book to maintain proper "windows" and "walls" with regards to our opposite sex relationships/friendships. Yes, it takes time to heal, learn to love your partner again and refocus on your relationship/marriage if it is truly what you want. I would also recommend this book as a gift to newly married couples or those embarking on an agreed long-term committed relationship. Lastly, as I recently learned the betrayal partner in my saga married just this year, I can only say that I hope if by chance she reads this, she has grown with integrity and has come to understand what it will take to keep her marriage safe, close and loving. Be forewarned, you(SBRDP)do not ever want to experience the pain and hurt which you caused me and my family not so long ago. ASE

Media Impact.......2005-10-20
The book was here in 5 days and every one in the class including the teacher can't believe the price I got for it. Worked out just great and the teacher is going to buy the book from me.
good solid media book.......2000-01-24
This is a good media textbook. Shirley Biagi does a nice job of updating this text regularly. Students will find it interesting and informative. Lots of photos and sidebars add to the information. Covers all the media as well as social isues, ethics, global conglomerates and more.
boring.......1999-12-12
I swear, this book is the worst book ever for Mass Communications because it's just a bunch of articles about what might be the case of mass media in the future. If i didn't need the book for a college course, I would never have bought it

Rising divorce rates inspired Dr. James Dobson, founder and president of Focus on the Family, and his wife, Shirley, to author a devotional for couples in an attempt to strengthen the marriages of younger generations. Night Light: A Devotional for Couples contains six months of daily devotions stemming from the Dobsons' 40 years of marriage experience. Beginning on Sunday, an inspirational story addresses a relevant theme, such as communication, money, forgiveness, or conflict resolution, which is expounded upon throughout the devotions for that week. Scripture, probing questions, and short anecdotes encourage intimacy between the couple in an attempt to ward off stagnation and habitual laziness in spiritual growth. While the questions and suggestions will affect every couple differently, this devotional stimulates conversation about weighty issues of the heart and turns the head toward what matters for eternity. Knowing that most couples are too exhausted by the end of the day to analyze every facet of their marriage, however, the Dobson's have crafted the devotions to be completed within 10 minutes. One would expect this to be most helpful for newlyweds, but it is a revitalizing aide for those who have had poor communication throughout their marriage or are looking to refocus their marriage on Christ. Night Light is a wonderful way to set your mind on the Lord before turning out the light and for drawing closer to your mate in the process. --Jill Heatherly

Must Have!.......2007-08-22
My husband and I read this book our first 6 months of marriage and loved it! It also makes a great gift. Many couples who we have given it to have just raved about how much they enjoyed it too.
A true blessing.......2007-06-05
My husband and I had been married for 23 years and were Christians. We were feeling like we had grown apart and needed something to bring us back together. This book did it for us! Each night we read our pages together and answered, truthfully, the questions at the end. It opened a whole new chapter in our marriage and we have recommended it to all our friends. Matter of fact, we are going to read it again!
Great book, great stories, great idea.......2007-05-11
Devotional reading at night in our home used to be tiring. As a belated wedding gift we began to read this book together in place of some other books. We both enjoy the daily messages and the stories at the beginning of each week. Highly recommend this book. Each reading is 1-4 pages max. Helps in situations were your spouse tends to fall asleep.
Great Gift!.......2007-05-09
My husband and I recieved this as a wedding gift and loved it. We have purchased one for almost every couple we know who has gotten married since then!
Great book for couples!!.......2006-12-29

Book Description
Authored by an acknowledged expert on muscle and movement imbalances, this well-illustrated book presents a classification system of mechanical pain syndrome that is designed to direct the exercise prescription and the correction of faulty movement patterns. The diagnostic categories, associated muscle and movement imbalances, recommendations for treatment, examination, exercise principles, specific corrective exercises, and modification of functional activities for case management are described in detail. This book is designed to give practitioners an organized and structured method of analyzing the mechanical cause of movement impairment syndrome, the contributing factors, and a strategy for management.
Customer Reviews:
Good book for Health Care professionals .......2007-07-16
This is a good resource book for use by health care professionals. Sahrmann has good ideas towards movement impairments, but organization is a little hard to follow.
must have.......2007-01-12
THIs is a must have book for all physical therapist working in an orthopedic setting.
Most clinically useful book.......2003-03-07
Very useful for the practitioner involved in ortopaedic rehab, interested in going further than treating pain! Very essential complement to any good treatment. Will help you teach your patient how to take control of their body to prevent re-occurence.
Precision movement matters!.......2002-03-29
Having harrassed the author for close to four years I am pleased to say that this text represents what might best described an a "hinge in history". I agree that the concepts and examination items might be challenging for those used to a "cookbook" strategy but I am sure Shirley will agree that she did NOT invent anatomy or kinesiology! Systematic clinical examination, identifying movement deviations from mechanical precision and optimising efficient movement patterns are not large leaps of logic. Major car manufacturers and airlines have been doing this for years; analyse patterns of wear and tear on components and see what lasts the longest! However, humans in their comfortable/familiar patterns don't invest in the valid and rational practice of prevention and damage analysis. I know UK colleagues will take the path of least resistance when trying out the exam items within this book and say "Well it doesn't predict chronicity!" or "What about psychosocial factors?". To them and the pain biology fanatics I say this...when viruses, bacteria, trauma, genetics and family relationships have been analysed, what are the three primary drivers of nociception? Bogduk delineated the mechanical deformation model of nociception; Sahrmann has now thrown down the gauntlet with the movement paradigm to support or negate. Roll up your sleeves, break a sweat and join those of us liberated from surreal Southern Hemisphere skeleton pushing. Active rehabilitation with empiricism, determinism and a healthy cynicism! This text gives content and not just theory/process models - try telling a student that clinical reasoning is a valid model when they don't know what to look for!
Long awaited text for expert practice.......2001-09-26
Physical therapists like myself have been waiting for a text from the author for over 10 years. Definitely a text for someone well versed in the anatomy and mechaincs of the musculoskeletal system. This text is written in clear categories and deals with problems in three general areas. It takes effort and analytic thinking to understand the myriad of motions listed in the text. A CD with actual demonstrations would help immensely in seeing all the factors the author is illustrating. The introduction covers very complex ideas made as simple as possible by the author. I would recommend this text for any movement specialist but I would caveat my recommendation with the warning that hard work is needed to really grasp the techniques listed in this text. This author is saying things that need to be learned by movement specialists and only can be applied by an expert.

Excellent resource for dealing with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder. Great help for understanding BPD behavior and how to deal with it.
excellent resource!.......2006-09-02
this book has proven to be an excellent resource for family members and co-workers who have expressed some frustrations in their relationships with individuals with BPD. it provides helpful background information to help people understand the problem and conceptualize it. it provides realistic exercises and suggested approaches that usually seem to be very helpful in relating with individuals with BPD. if one book to provide, i prefer this book over the other eggshell book in that it is better received, more understandable, and more useful. some patients' loved ones take it and hide it for a while as they begin reading it. almost all find that eventually it is most effective when there is real cooperation between partners on learning new, more effective ways of relating. i've given out at least one dozen copies of this book and it is very popular. i believe it is well worth the price, new, given the tools and hope that it can provide.

Perfect Text for entry level students.......2001-04-22
Students will find this book easy to use and understand. The material allows students to start their learning experience at an easy level and move gradually to higher levels. Vocational students will achieve success in reaching their entry-level health career goal with this book. Students easily follow the workbook guidelines and teachers appreciate the easy to follow instructors materials.
The intent of this book.......2001-02-10
This textbook and accompaning materials is written for a specific audience. It is a text that helps English as a second language, returning adults who may not have completed high school and for those needing simple and careful information. In some cases a student in the class may excel and the material seems redundant, etc. The text meets a very important need and the course instructor purchases texts to meet the need of her students. The previous reviewer was very disappointed in the book because of the level it is written for. She is probably a more advanced student.
Horrendous.......2000-11-26
This text is absolutely the most horrendous book I have ever used in a college class. It is written at about a 4th or 5th grade reading level, and within the text will highlight common, everyday words like "familiar", "prioritize" and "accurate" and then in a sidebar will actually define the words for you! I have never been more embarrassed to own a book (which is required for a health care class I must take). In another unbelievable chapter the reader is even told how to add numbers like 2 and 3! I kid you not. (check page 131 for verification) I cannot believe this book is marketed for a college audience, and will most certainly sell this book back at the end of the semester, as it is TOTALLY useless. The writers of this text definitely display a lack of knowledge in the fields of medicine and physiology. Don't waste your money on it.
