Great patterns.......2000-05-12

My dad was looking for a variety of cross designs to do some scroll work. We had a hard time finding any until we came across this book. The designs are both interesting and "do-able" for the woodworking hobbyist.

Helpful Hints Gardening Book.......2000-08-01

One of the better gardening books I've come across. It tells about the kind of soil (acid/alkaline) the plant prefers as well as how fast the plants grows, some known pests, propagation, and cultivation. It includes trees, perennials, vegetables, annuals, bulbs, etc. Part 1 of the book deals with choosing plants for your particular needs (i.e. soil, light needs, color, plant performance, garden design). I think because it is a British gardening book, American gardeners may note a couple of drawbacks: some popular plants do not appear (coneflower, cucumber and coreopsis, for example). When other varieties are named, I'm not sure these varieties are usually available in this country.

Book Description

Our personalities and our identities are intimately bound up with the stories that we tell to organize and to make sense of our lives. To understand the human meaning of illness, we therefore must turn to the stories we tell about illness, suffering, and medical care. Stories of Sickness explores the many dimensions of what illness means to the sufferers and to those around them, drawing on depictions of illness in great works of literature and in non-fiction accounts. The exploration is primarily philosophical but incorporates approaches from literature and from the medical social sciences. When it was first published in 1987, Stories of Sickness helped to inaugurate a renewed interest in the importance of narrative studies in health care. For the Second Edition the text has been thoroughly revised and significantly expanded. Four almost entirely new chapters have been added on the nature, complexities, and rigor of narrative ethics and how it is carried out. There is also an additional chapter on maladaptive ways of being sick that deals in greater depth with disability issues. Health care professionals, students of medicine and bioethics, and ordinary people coping with illness, no less than scholars in the health care humanities and social sciences, will find much of value in this volume. Unique Features: *Philosophically sophisticated yet clearly written and easily accessible *Interdisciplinary approach--combines philosophy, literature, health care, social sciences *Contains many fascinating stories and vignettes of illness drawn from both fiction and nonfiction *A new and comprehensive overview of the "hot topic" of narrative ethics in medicine and health care

This poetry don't play.......2002-05-20

This book is actually two: 1979's "Mad Dog Black Lady" and the 1990 "African Sleeping Sickness". Both are incredibly powerful collections of poetry (with some stories), and the sheer volume of work contained here (328 pgs, with almost a poem for every 2 on average) is almost enough to make you OD on poetry. The work is strong stuff, with stories of love, sex and danger throughout, and Coleman's voice is so hardcore compelling you don't know if you should read the bok or run from it.

Book Description

Why is blood red? Because it contains Hemoglobin - the most important molecule in the human body. In health - the average person has 4 lbs. of hemoglobin and manufactures seven billion molecules of hemoglobin every second. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells and helps the body remove waste carbon dioxide. In sickness - an estimated one billion people around the world have some disorder related to hemoglobin: sickle-cell anemia, pernicious anemias, iron-deficiency anemia, porphyrias, hemoglobin E disease, alpha-thalassemia, beta- thalassemia, and G6PD deficiency. One type of hemoglobin can be used to monitor diabetes. This basic introduction to hemoglobin includes information on the reelection of Richard Nixon, the madness of King George III, werewolves, lead poisoning, legends about Pythagoras, genetics and genetic screening, diabetes, respiration, the production of red cells, and translation of the DNA code. Hemoglobin is a fascination molecule that touches our lives, our politics, our myths and our history.

Book Description

What happens when your spouse is no longer the same person you first married? How does marriage change us, and how do we change our marriage?Sometimes marriage seems a shaky proposition at best, and never more so than when the honeymoon fades to reality. For Karen Propp, reality meant knowingly marrying a man who had already undergone a course of radiation for prostate cancer and who, mere weeks before the birth of their son, faces surgery that will compromise his life and their marriage on every level. In this humorous, poignant, well-crafted narrative, we see Karen torn between a growing son and ailing husband. We witness the ups and downs, the love and the loss between a man and a woman as they struggle against but emerge victorious over a very intimate disease.In Sickness and in Health is an honest exploration of the loss and disappointment associated with married life, as well as a love story that shows how a woman is irrevocably changed by the love she shares with her husband, and the depths that love is plumbed by the specter of illness.

Customer Reviews:

Well written and informative.......2003-02-11

Very informative, well written in a clear and easy to read style.

Women who are into touchy feely relationship stuff will like this book. I did even though I am a guy.

Simply wonderful.......2002-11-23

This book is simply wonderful--moving, funny, uncompromisingly intimate and honest. The author has revealed her inner self to the reader--with all the ups and downs of real life. As characters in the book, the husband and wife pass through stages in which they evolve and reach a higher level of perception of the other. It reads like a novel, only better, because there are no pat answers and formulaic denouements in what is simply a story about the demands the realities of life make on two intelligent, sensitive and mature adults. This book is meaningful not only for prostate cancer survivors but for so many of us who are going through the changes aging makes in us and in the ways we relate to one another.

I couldn't put this book down.......2002-09-08

I have been somewhat deprived of reading time for the last five years--I have a young child, mortgage, aging parents, demanding career, expensive tastes and so forth. But after reading the first few pages--the first scene, I became dazzled with the way it was written and did not stop until I finished.

Though it deals with illness and serious loss, it reads as an adventure novel and entrances you with its dynamic cinematic style. Extreme dificulties provide the matrix for the story--but that matrix rests on a soft cushion of human warmth and life's conditions--things we can all relate to.

The personal honesty of the presentation lets you see yourself within such circumstances. It leaves a glimmer of hope that should such tragedy befall you, through reading this book, you might have learned to have the grace, sparkling insight and clarity of thought to experience your own life as richly as this story is told.

Loving and honest - a remarkable book.......2002-08-08

With both lyricism and candor, Karen Propp has written a remarkable book about love shadowed by danger - in this case her husband's battle with prostate cancer. When Karen and Sam first meet, they are old enough and sensible enough not to have many illusions, but neither is prepared for his diagnosis. The treatments leave both devastated, but despite the grim facts of living with recurrent cancer, their love for each other keeps them together. This book is indeed, as the subtitle proclaims, a love story. It is also a story of survival, not, as one might expect, for Sam, but for Propp.

The obvious recommendation would be for women whose husbands suffer from prostate cancer because Propp supplies details on the controversy of various treatments, of impotency, of therapy and support groups, of learning to live with a spouse forever changed, of raising a child in a house of illness. However, Propp's examination of the interior of her marriage makes for compelling reading for a general readership.

In Sickness & In Health should be required reading for all couples grappling with illness in the family. Even those untouched as yet by such a crisis will find the poignant examination of love and the stubborn will to survive a reason to read this book.
