Giler C E S Continuing Education Seminars, 2000 Kid?s Guide to Making Friends When a friend recommended "Socially ADDept," Dr. Janet Z. Giler's manual of social skills for children with ADHD, I accepted the suggestion with some reluctance. Like every other parent with an ADHD kid, I'm already drowning in pedagogical advice.

Since both my parents died this year, and I found myself as power-of-attorney and trust adviser, I eagerly read the second half of the book.

Elias Ph.D., Steven E. Tobias Psy.D., ... Three Rivers Press, 2000 Different from many "how to" manuals The authors make a compelling and cogent argument for the use of humor and understanding in parent/child interactions. Illustrated with useful dialogues, the concepts presented are easy to visualize and implement. I am usually loathe to read this genre. The instant quantification of an entire field into a few pages generally does not appeal. In this book, no pretense is made. The subject ...             Perspectives on Socially Shared Cognition American Psychological Association (APA), 1996 This volume contains reports on the way thought works, from investigators in psychology, social psychology, anthropology, sociology, linguistics and literature.

Marano Harper Paperbacks, 1998 Excellent - For Parents of Kids Having A Hard Time This is a good base for parents whose kids are having a hard time in school. I found it to be very Cause & Effect which was just what my son (and I) needed. I read it three or four years ago when my son was having a dreadfully hard time.

Van Dam gives clear and understandable criteria for identifying molesters. I was particularly pleased with van Dam's semantic separation of child molesters into two categories: Groomers and Grabbers. If these identifying labels become standard usage when discussing this crime, especially in the media, it may have an impact on the ...             Pension Fund Politics: The Dangers of Socially Responsible Investing (Business Economics)1 review Jon Entine AEI Press, 2005 Valuable information for anyone wanting to understand how Socially Responsible Investing impacts pension funds The idea of corporate executives looting and mishandling pension funds (defined benefit programs) and harming their retiree's sickens all of us. Those that abuse these trusts (sacred trusts, in my book) should be punished. And if the law can't get them, they deserve every bit of public opprobrium we can send their way. However, it is vital to realize that the boardroom is not the only threat ...             How to Behave: A Guide to Modern Manners for the Socially Challenged18 reviews Caroline Tiger, Marcin Barinski, 2003 Funny and useful!

This volume is a compendium of chapters written by editor John Hancock and other highly regarded experts. Their clear, comprehensive book appears to be targeted to fund managers and corporate investor relations officers, more than to average green-minded investors.
