Happy Endings.......2007-02-07

Great informative book. Lots of illustrations and well written "how to" on all bindings. More edges then I knew you could do with a quilt!

Binding made easy........2006-02-17

This book helped me with the binding on my quilt. It was very informative. I would recommend this book to anyone who was looking for help in binding their quilt. It has many different ways to do this.

I finally get it!.......2005-10-07

This book helped me figure out, finally, how to make perfect mitred corners on my quilt binding. For that alone it was worth the price, but it has lots of other great tips and ideas, too, and I'm looking forward to trying those out. The directions are clear, and the diagrams and photos provide good illustration for those of us who are more visually inclined. This classic is a great addition to your quilting library.

Revised, updated edition of a classic quilter's bible.......2003-11-15

This revised, updated edition of a classic quilter's bible covers dozens of creative ways of finishing the edges of a quilt, from easy to advanced. From handling quilt backings and battings to new ideas for borders, Happy Endings is filled with many approaches and ideas - some new, some traditional. An excellent quilter's reference for all levels.

Great ideas.......2003-02-15

This book has lots of great ideas for beginning quilters to understand the variety of bindings one can put on a quilt quite simply. The photo illustrations in this book (almost a pamphlet, really) are beautiful, but are grouped for study.

This book makes me want to get away from the standard bias-mitered bindings.

Book Description

A decade has passed since the publication of the first edition of National Parks and the Woman's Voice: A History. Polly Welts Kaufman thought it time to revisit the subject of activism of women citizens in preserving national parks and to learn how far the promise of the inclusion of career women in the Park Service hierarchy has progressed.

Kaufman discovered the staff in a national park can no longer fulfill the Park Service mission without outside support. Both this new reality and the acceptance of women as leaders have affected Park Service culture, making it more collaborative, more inclusive, less paternalistic, and more open to partnerships.

What was said about the first edition:"[Polly] Kaufman used extensive sources from women's, environmental, and national park history; she interviewed almost four hundred women. . . . She analyzes effectively the ways in which various women dealt with the male-deﬁned Park Service culture, contemporary patterns of service in which women are superintendents primarily in small to medium sized historic parks, problems of dual-career marriages, and ways in which women's perspectives and values, which often differ from those of men, helped shape today's national parks."--Sylvia W. McGrath, H-Net, the Popular Culture and the American Culture Associations

In this updated study, Polly Kaufman discovers that staff are no longer able to fulfill the National Park Service mission without outside support.

Book Description

Family commentator and humorist Dr. Kevin Leman and human sexuality expert Kathy Flores Bell team up to write a book for parents on teaching their pubescent children (ages 8 to 14) about sex.

Customer Reviews:

Don't Let the Title Scare You!.......2007-06-08

This book is excellent! You don't even have to wait until your kids are older to read this book. The practical suggestions they give begin with pre school age children, and continue up until your kids are 16 and 17. I highly recommend this book as a must-read for any parent!!

Highly recommended.......2004-08-09

Family psychologist Dr. Kevin Leman and sexuality educator Kathy Flores Bell present A Chicken's Guide To Talking Turkey With Your Kids About Sex, a straightforward guide for parents and educators about teaching young people about the first period, first nocturnal emission, dating relationships, STDs, molestation, and much more. A Chicken's Guide To Talking Turkey With Your Kids About Sex offers useful advice in down-to-earth terms concerning what needs to be taught, how to build a bond of trust and support, and how to sound fully credible when promoting abstinence in a culture that is media-soaked with sexual imagery, as well as more basic tips concerning trials of puberty such as proper hair and skin care, oral hygiene, and more. Highly recommended.

Putting puberty education back where it belongs: the home.......2004-04-15

I have found Dr. Leman's books on childrearing very useful. Here he teams up with Kathy Bell to help parents build strong relationships with their "tweenagers" so they can effectivly pass on their own values. I especially like the straight talk to parents who fear being hypocrites because they misused their sexuality, and now want to tell their kids "don't do that!"
This book is about so much more than the typical "plumbing lesson." As a sex educator and a parent of seven, myself, I like the hands-on tools Kathy uses to illustrate the "plumbing" aspects, but especially the emotional aspects of sexuality. And she expand that focus to help parents discuss "neck up" issues. (Don't know what those are? Read the book.)
Don't rely on the school or the youth group to form your child's views on sex, marriage, and family life. Be a proactive parent. Read this book if you need a push in that direction. It even has an index of topics, so you can quickly find the pages that discuss what you need to talk about NOW.
I would have liked to have seen a little more on dealing with masturbation. The few pages that cover it don't emphasize enough it's connection to pornography and addidictive behaviors that can destroy relationships. Other than that, excellent, helpful book.

Book Description

“The greatest enemy of sexual wholeness today,” asserts Mark Laaser, Ph.D., “is silence.” A therapist specializing in the field of sexual health, Dr. Laaser has worked with hundreds of adults who suffer the consequences of sexual sin and dysfunction. All of them long to have had meaningful conversations with their parents about sex when they were growing up.

Most parents would agree that healthy sexuality should be taught at home rather than left to their children’s teachers, peers, or culture. However, even parents with the best intentions can feel at a loss regarding where to start.

In Talking with Your Kids about Sex, Dr. Laaser cuts through the confusion, coaching you through specific, age-appropriate discussions you can have with your son or daughter from early childhood through young adulthood; giving guidance on how to explore and examine your own sexual beliefs and issues; and empowering you to help your child develop a healthy and biblical understanding of sexuality, a glorious gift from God.

Customer Reviews:

Should be in the "Religion" section.......2004-07-07

This book is strongly slanted to fundamentalist "Christian" dogma. The section regarding the possibility that your child might be gay is particularly disturbing. It basically recommends that you remain calm and be nice to them until you can have them counseled and hopefully changed into a heterosexual. This may be what that type of "Christian" believes, but it is totally contrary to healthy psychological development.

Good resource for parents.......2001-11-21

Mark Laaser gives parents a good thorough look at the need to "talk" sex with their children. The book is an easy read while giving good helpful tips and advice for parents with children of all ages. A most helpful part of the read is the illustrations of other people's story, for they give you the feel that you are not alone. As a student minister of a church, I highly recommend this book for parents to read.

Book Description

Unfortunately, for many parents, the most important conversations are the hardest. Ninety-three percent of adults are dissatisfied with the sex education they received as children, which is precisely why they are so bad at teaching their kids-they have no frame of reference. Renowned Harvard Medical School psychologist and frequent Dr. Phil guest John Chirban helps parents talk to their kids about sex.

Kids are going to learn about sex, and it is up to parents to decide if their kids are going to learn from them or from MTV. How parents address sex, their openness, the context, and their attitudes will impact how their children view their own sexuality and self worth.

Dr. Chirban helps parents know when, how, and how much. He uses humor, compassion, and real-life examples to prepare parents for a healthy and ongoing conversation that will equip their kids to own their own sexuality and an understanding of the larger issues of relationships, love, commitment, and intimacy.

Helpful, down-to-earth advice on talking about sex.......2007-09-17

Dr. Chirban's What's Love Got to Do With It? is a great guide to talking with your kids about sex. I know that for many parents this is a difficult issue, and in this book Dr. Chirban provides warm encouragement and practical ways to open up a continuing dialogue with your kids. While it's important to start sex ed early, it's never too late.

I particularly like that Dr. Chirban stresses the importance of seeing sex as an integral part of what it means to be a complete person. The importance of a family's values is stressed and the reader is urged to see the vital connections among sex, intimacy, and love. This point will appeal to many other readers too, I think, because parents are looking for a way to talk about sex that is open and candid but that also respects values and beliefs. I heartily recommend this book.
