Excellent information.......2003-06-03

I have used this book in assisting physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners with contract negotiation since the first edition. It is an excellent resource for contract and salary negotiation. The step-by-step, systematic and supportive approach is helpful for any healthcare professional and really could be used by anyone in any career as a guideline to negotiation. The planner, included in the book, is a very helpful tool. I have recommended this book to many nurse practitioners and physician assistants throughout the years and all have reported that they found it to be invaluable.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2002-11-06

Provides basic knowledge of the concepts for contract negotiation and implementation. One could find with minimal effort the same basic level of information on their own through Internet searches and journal reviews for a tiny fraction of the cost of this book. Do not waste your money on this particular book like I did.

An invaluable, experience-laden guide accessible to parents and caretakers of all backgrounds, highly recommended........2007-10-07

Child psychiatrist Foster W. Cline and mother of two children with cystic fibrosis Lisa Greene present Parenting Children with Health Issues: Essential Tools, Tips and Tactics for Raising Kids with Chronic Illness, Medical Conditions & Special Healthcare Needs, a guide to learning and applying the parenting skills needed for raising children who require special medical or dietary care. Chapters discuss how to handle a child's refusal to take medication or undergo medical treatments, promote personal responsibility, deal with sibling, family, and couple relationship issues, and much more. "Because chronically ill children can so easily drift into feeling 'unfair-ed upon' by life, some become entitled and demanding, developing and exploiting placating parents who, as their child becomes more demanding, have increasing difficulty separating 'wants' from 'needs.' Entitled people, children or adults, have a tendency to control others through what they define as their 'needs.'" An invaluable, experience-laden guide accessible to parents and caretakers of all backgrounds, highly recommended.

Foster Cline.......2007-09-18

In a review of another Love and Logic publication on Amazon, one reviewer suggested people Google Foster Cline and Rage Reduction. That's good advice.

Essential Addition to Your Parenting Library--tender, brilliant writing.......2007-08-07

Authors Cline and Green offer a truthful testimony to the question "How would you spend your precious moments with your child with health problems?" They present a systematic approach, Love & Logic, to positive parenting, the goal of which is to enable a child to learn the health habits to care for him\herself. Moreover, the parenting in these family situations requires thoughtfulness and compassionae conversation about real issues as grief, death, medications, self-care as well as normal child rearing tasks.

Part One of the book focuses on the basic Love & Logic strategies that most parents face: self esteem, boundaries, problem solving, and how children learn. Part 2, Advanced Love & Logic applications discusses the realities of the medical challenges within the family and how to deal with them. Added bonuses at the back of the book are extra parenting tips, the authors' personal stories, and resources.

The book is thorough, well written and easy to read. You will appreciate the honest approach in dealing with the real world situations through loving strategies. I highly recommend it.

Book Description

The new edition of this classic book describes and provides a myriad of examples of the relationships between problem posing and problem solving, and explores the educational potential of integrating these two activities in classrooms at all levels. The Art of Problem Posing, Third Edition encourages readers to shift their thinking about problem posing (such as where problems come from, what to do with them, and the like) from the "other" to themselves and offers a broader conception of what can be done with problems. Special features include: an exploration of the logical relationship between problem posing and problem solving; sketches, drawings, and diagrams that illustrate the schemes proposed; and a special section on writing in mathematics.

In the updated third edition, the authors specifically:
*address the role of problem posing in the NCTM Standards;
*elaborate on the concept of student as author and critic;
*include discussion of computer applications to illustrate the potential of technology to enhance problem posing in the classroom;
*expand the section on diversity/multiculturalism; and
*broaden discussion of writing as a classroom enterprise.

This book offers present and future teachers at the middle school, secondary school, and higher education levels ideas to enrich their teaching and suggestions for how to incorporate problem posing into a standard mathematics curriculum.

Customer Reviews:

provides a method for exploring mathematical problems as well as posing them.......2007-01-16

The Art of Problem Posing is a great book. The authors provide a step by step method for learning about, and solving problems in, mathematics. The method is as follows:
Level O:
Choose a starting point ie a problem or a concept in math
Level 1:
Define the attributes of a problem or concept
Level 2:
Ask what if not for each concept.
Level 3:
Ask Questions about the results of 0 - 2.
Level 4:
Analyze (solve) the problem

The authors use fairly accessible math in the process of explaining their techniques, including the Pythagorean Theorem and a few other concepts that most people will know.

I want to emphasize that this book is not just about problem posing; it also offers a technique for problem solving. The authors note that the two cannot really be completely separated.

Book Description

This manuscript has been inspired with Steve's antidotes, bits of wisdom and jokes (sometimes ethnic, to reflect the melting pot that was and is North Dakota; and from most unknown sources). A story about how to live life with humor, courage and grace along with personal hardships, tragedies and triumphs.

Book Description

When Veronica accidentally got pregnant by her husband, the next time she saw her hairdresser, who also happened to be a regular client, she told him that she was going to stop being a prostitute.

“Good,” he said. “Thank God. Y’know I always thought that you were too good to be a prostitute. You’re a nice girl, you’re smart, and you’re pretty. You shouldn’t lead a life like that. I’m glad you’re not going to be a prostitute anymore.”

Two months later after Veronica miscarried, she was in the hairdresser’s shop and said to him, “I’m thinking about getting back into prostitution.”

“Are you available Thursday night?”was his only question.

Great Biography.......2002-12-02

This biography of Frank Church is a well researched and written book. The understanding gained from this book of why "liberal" members of Congress from the west act the way they do is considerable. Frank Church beat the odds in that he was a Democrat from a state that was and still is largely republican. The authors in choosing what to focus on only briefly touched on his impact on environmental issues and instead focused on the issues that got him elected repeatedly. It is an essential read to further the understanding of the post war era in American Politics.

One Flat Spot.......2001-10-24

Yes, this is the exhaustive biographical treatment of Senator Frank Church, hero or villian to many of those in Idaho who were here before he was voted out of office in 1980.

The authors clearly poured over the official papers and interviewed many who knew Frank Church. After a while the book takes on something like a Chinese water torture approach piling fact upon fact, without benefit of much analysis of what it meant. If one is looking for additional insight or original investigation of why Church lost in 1980, for example, you will not find it here. Instead co-author Rod Gramer recycles much of his work covering the election. On the other had, the treatment of the 1956 election is fascinating, maybe because I was not yet born.

This book has great stuff on Congressional battles over Vietnam and on Church's committee that investigated the CIA.

The one flat spot in this book is it's weak coverage of Church's considerable influence on natural resource policy that emerged from Congress in the 1960s and 1970s. The book was written in 1984 and therefore does not benefit from the point of time in fully understanding the impact of the legislation in the 1970s affecting the management of federal forests and rangelands.

For example, Sen. Church chaired a committee that investigated the clearcutting practices on National Forests. The results of this investigation was the issuance of the "Church Guidelines" on forest practices which were later incorporated into the 1976 National Forest Management Act. The impact of NFMA on the management of National Forests extends now for more than a quarter of a century. Yet one will not find much of anything about the investigation of clearcutting.

Readers were also unfortunately spared the complexities of the wilderness legislation in Idaho and the protection of wild and scenic rivers. Church's strong support for this legislation eroded his support in traditionally Democrat leaning counties dominated by timbering jobs, which made the difference in 1980 when he lost by 4,262 votes.

I guess this means someone could still write a book about Frank Church and his role in natural resource policy.

And you should still buy this one.

A Great Work on a Great Man.......1999-02-19

This is the definitive biography on one of the true greats in Idaho politics, Frank Church. In a land of forked tongues, he was a straight shooter. His loss was one not only for the west, but for the entire country. Frank Church was the true spirit of the West. May it rise again.
