Hockenberry, David Wilson Mosby, 2006 Depth and breadth I am a BS-RN student just starting my Pedi class. This is my favorite text yet. There is plenty of detail, and references are cited within the text. I think it's much easier to learn and retain information if you know the "why" behind the "what", and this text doesn't just gloss over the physiological reasons for nursing interventions like a lot of nursing texts unfortunately do. Thanks Dr. ...             The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible ...155 reviews Ross W. Greene Harper Paperbacks, 2005 Great Book, Big Help! I loved this book. I have to say I was skeptical at first, as I felt the author was talking down to the reader, however, I was being over sensitive. As the mother of an adhd child, often a person gets over sensitive to percieved criticism when none is really there. Anyway, this book opened a whole new view for me on my child's behavior and the basic reasons behind it. At last I saw why ...             Infants, Children, and Adolescents (6th Edition) (MyDevelopmentLab Series) Laura E. Berk Allyn & Bacon, 2007 Berk’s signature storytelling style invites students to actively learn beside the text’s “characters” who share their influential experiences and developmental milestones. Students are provided with an exceptionally clear and coherent understanding of child development, emphasizing the interrelatedness of all domains—physical, cognitive, emotional, and social—throughout the text narrative and in special features. ...             Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder79 reviews Richard Louv Algonquin Books, 2008 Parents NEED this, take it from a forest kid I'm young enough that I still get called "kid" by my friends' parents, and when I saw the cover of this book in the store, with the kid holding a frog, I instantly felt like this book was about someone just like me. When I started reading, I felt so even more. I've lived in forests and next to creeks all my life, but today, I look around at my friends and I see that most of my generation ...             How Children Develop2 reviews Robert S. Siegler, Judy S. DeLoache, ... Worth Publishers, 2005 Review: Seigler --- How Children Develop, First Edition I teach child psychology with this book, at a college. The book is topically arranged (not chronologically arranged), and, overall, the writing is excellent. Two chapters (Ch 12: The Family) and Ch. 13 (Peers) are not taught in my course; instead, students do chapter tests on those two for extra credit. The Instructor's Test Bank by Jill Saxon is mediocre, but was greatly improved for the Second ...             Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults And Children Fifth Edition14 reviews Kathryn L. McCance, Sue E. Huether Mosby, 2005 Outstanding I entered a graduate level nursing class with nothing more than high school biology (that was decades ago) and was presented with the daunting task of reading the entire book. I wasn't sure about successfully completing the course until realizing that this textbook was one of the best I've ever come across. The material was well-organized and the text easy to follow. The authors made good use of ...             Exceptional Children: An Introduction to Special Education (with MyEducationLab) (9th Edition) ...6 reviews William L. Heward Prentice Hall, 2008 A Great Book If You Want An Intro to Special Education I love this book! I purchased a used copy in 2001 to help prepare for my (then) upcoming Massachusetts State Teacher exam in special education, which I passed on my first try. It is a very useful source of information and contains a ton of facts. It presents special ed topics in a logical fashion and has a nice companion website. I practiced all the online questions since I had to learn a ...             Midnight's Children: A Novel179 reviews Salman Rushdie Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006 WHAT A RUSH(DIE)! If this book was described by 1001 readers, I think you'd get 10,001 different views of what they experienced. Some knowledge of the history of India & Pakistan before and after independence and the partition will be helpful. Perhaps some "-ism" (magical real(ism), coming-of-age(ism); post-modern(ism); stream of .....) reading would prepare you for this. But neither is required to enjoy it. ...             There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in The Other America92 reviews Alex Kotlowitz Anchor, 1992 The other America indeed Nice mix of anecdote and historical background on life in inner city America. Excellent insight into the everyday difficulties faced by families and some of the root causes. This book, though almost 20 years old, still has a message that needs to be heard.             Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom, Updated Edition41 reviews Lisa Delpit New Press, 2006 Powerful and Challenging If you work with students from dominated cultures, this is a must read. Delpit examines the culture of power and how we can begin to change the climate in our schools. It will challenge you to examine your assumptions.             2009 Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market (Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market)1 review Alice Pope Writers Digest Books, 2008 Yes, you need this. While the internet provides writers with almost everything they need to succeed, there is still nothing to be found online that compares to this essential guide. Each year, Alice Pope and her crew deliver the goods, by scouring the publishing world for book, magazine and multimedia publishers that accept work from children's writers. Trust me, every successful agent and submitting author in the ...             The Five Love Languages of Children57 reviews Gary Chapman, Ross Campbell Northfield Publishing, 1997 Great Great book. I highly recommend it. One of the best parenting books out there. A must read for all parents. It is a very short, quick read.             Helping Children Learn Mathematics4 reviews Robert E. Reys, Mary M. Lindquist, ... Wiley, 2006 Helping Children Learn Math Use the newest edition of this book. It is a great resource for lesson plans when you are teaching. It's easy to read as well.             Physical Therapy for Children (PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR CHILDREN)5 reviews Suzann K. Campbell, Robert J. Palisano, ... Saunders, 2005 A comprehensive overview of any subject relating to children I have used this book innumeral times in the clinic whereI work. A must have reference for any pediatric therapist. Well worth the money if you are looking to learn more about the special need of children.             Child Development and Education with Observing Children & Adolescents CD PKG. (3rd Edition)1 review Teresa M. McDevitt, Jeanne E. Ormrod Prentice Hall, 2006 child development and education book review I was happy with the book. It arrived quickly and in great condition. My only issue is that it did not have the 3 CD's that come with new edition. I emailed customer service with my complaint and they sent me another book, but still without the CD's. After some investigation they figured out that the book they are advertising does not come with the CD's. I was dissappointed :(             Infants and Children: Prenatal Through Middle Childhood (6th Edition) (MyDevelopmentLab Series)2 reviews Laura E. Berk Allyn & Bacon, 2007 fascinating I loved this textbook. I read it for an Infant & Child Development class and found it interesting, clear and helpful. Anyone interested in childhood development should definitely read this book!             The Development of Children6 reviews Michael Cole, Sheila R. Cole, ... Worth Publishers, 2004 By far one of my counseling textbook favorites. Cole & Cole's work is by far one of my favorite textbooks. The reason? The authors methodically lay out child development from a biopsychosocial perspective, which is no small feat. They write with a thoroughness and efficiency that you will rarely find in a textbook. Their treatment of child development is evenhanded, not privilaging either the bio, psycho, or social perspectives.             Through the Eyes of a Child: An Introduction to Children's Literature (7th Edition)11 reviews Donna E. Norton, Saundra E. Norton Prentice Hall, 2006 Hard To Read Wealth of Children's Litature Course If you plan to teach a children's literature course, then this book possesses nearly all of the information, history, and important milestones that you need...if you can get by the stilted language. It reads well for someone like me who studies/collects children's literature as a personal hobby; however, for the average reader? Get ready for a painful struggle. I would suggest using it in ...             Occupational Therapy for Children (OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY FOR CHILDREN ( CASE-SMITH))4 reviews Jane Case-Smith Mosby, 2004 The book title says it all: "OT for Children" This resource provides an overview of many conditions found in pediatric treatment. The reviews of developmental progressions of all ADLs, pre-writing, fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, and other skills are presented both in concise, outline form and in paragraph form for more details. All chapters are well-organized, and focused on OT practice, while the section by Exner on the Development ...             Children's Literature, Briefly (4th Edition)7 reviews Michael O. Tunnell, James S. Jacobs Prentice Hall, 2007 Great resource for Child's' lit The best way to study children's literature is to read actual children's books, not to study textbooks about them! The authors of this text are among the few that recognize this truth. Consequently the chapters are purposefully (and generally) short and to the point. Each chapter includes authors' recommendations as well as qualities to avoid in each genre. Appendices are informative (see the ...              search for books adolescents, biologic, case-smith, childhood, chronically, classroom, conflict, cultural, development, education, exceptional, explosive, frustrated, illustrator, inflexible, introduction, languages, literature, mathematics, midnight, mydevelopmentlab, myeducationlab, nature-deficit, observing, occupational, parenting, pathophysiology, physical, prenatal, understanding books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
