Book Description
In a quiet community of million dollar homes and shiny SUVs, the Nyce family projected the very image of success. Dr. Jonathan Nyce, an asthma sufferer, had achieved medical breakthroughs that made him rich-and offered hope to countless people. Michelle's beauty made her an object of desire. And adultery was her husband's worst nightmare.Police found Michelle's Land Cruiser floating in a frigid creak near the family home. When forensic investigators examined Michelle's horribly battered body, they knew she had not died in the car. Or by accident.Soon, the truth began to emerge. Of a brilliant man whose beautiful wife had a lover she could not stay away from. Of a family-including three innocent children-pushed to the breaking point. And of one brutal moment, when a man finally ended his torment by horrifically murdering the woman he loved....

Great read.......2007-10-07
Once again John Glatt does a great job if you like true crime make sure you read all of John Glatt's book he is a great writer.
This is a tragic story. When it becomes to an affair of the heart one never knows what another will do.
Never Leave Me By: John Glatt.......2007-09-19
Good read. Moved along well. Most times you felt like you either knew them or you were there to see what was going on. You felt Michelle's pain for not having her husband home and needing to find male compainionship elsewhere. There was never any doubt who had done this crime of passion. John Glatt really makes True Crime interesting with the way he is indept and presis down to the bare bones of it. Definately a book to read.
Standard Paperback True Crime.......2007-07-18
This is the sort of book you find for sale at an airport magazine story, designed to be easily and quickly digested in the space of a plane trip. The story itself is not particularly memorable, in fact it has a depressingly familiar quality to it. Older slightly dweeby guy seeks a young bride from another country then proceeds to dominate her to keep her dependent on him, wife tries to break free, husband kills her.
If you are a fan of true crime this is a fun read. It doesn't transcend the genre or break new ground but it doesn't claim to.
The doctor and the attorney.......2007-06-27
Sometimes I find a true crime book interesting not because it is well-written or the case unique, but rather because it makes me think deeply about human nature. The other reviews and discussions show that I am not the only one who found this book thought-provoking. I think this story is a cautionary tale that we can all learn from. Dr. Nyce did not simply attract a young, beautiful wife because of his money and social status. He deliberately preyed upon the fact she was from a less wealthy country, using the prospect of moving to the U.S. as enticement, and he wrote to her under false pretenses, lying about his age and sending a very old photo of himself. He was not a heroic doctor, he was a lecherous con-man. Once he came to the Phillipines and she saw that he was old, unattractive, and a boring nerd, she no doubt felt it was too late to back out. We could look at her marrying him as opportunism, but she was making the best of things and doing what was expected of her by her family and the culture she came from. When she became enculturated to the United States, and as she matured and became more powerful, the manipulative doctor was more and more exposed for the pathological liar and loser he really was. One thing I have learned about habitual liars is that they are enraged when their lies are exposed. I think the murder was more about this exposure than the wife's affair, and the investigation and trial dramatised the pattern of lies, covering up, eventual exposure, and damage control that typifies such a personality. I found the portion of the book devoted to the trial to be too in-depth and boring, the sentence unjust, and the histrionic defense attorney as alarming as her client.
Good read that is unfortunately a true story.... .......2007-06-23
This is a good book if you can get past the grammatical errors. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this man...."mark my words."

Book Description
The Thinking about YOU Thinking about ME book explores the critical nature of perspective taking (Theory of Mind) in our day-to-day interactions and its importance in the classroom setting. It describes how the perspective taking process works and offers a myriad of therapeutic activities for teachers/therapists to utilize with children and adults. Michelle Garcia Winner explains how professionals can use informal measures (since no standardized measures are available) to assess the abstract skill and to determine which students will benefit from this type of treatment. Included are strategies that help students understand their own treatment programs (IEPs) and behavior plans. The book covers contents presented in her workshops, "Nuts and Bolts of Starting Social Thinking Programs", and " Thinking about YOU Thinking about ME".

A must-have resource to teach perspective-taking skills to individuals with social cognitive deficits.......2007-01-19
According to the author, social cognitive learning disability is the most abstract of all learning disabilities, making it difficult for professionals to assess through standardized measures. Students with social cognitive deficits may be diagnosed with disorders ranging from Asperger Syndrome (AS) to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this guide, the author focuses on the student's ability to understand the perspective of others, which is critical for establishing successful interpersonal relationships. This handbook contains numerous therapeutic activities to help students understand and develop perspective-taking skills, and it also describes the impact of language and behavior on social thinking. The book offers strategies to help students and teachers understand the Individualized Education Program (IEP), and it also provides sample IEP goals and benchmarks. Please visit our website to obtain this guide at the same list price. (We also offer related books on this topic.) Our books ship immediately.

Entertaining at times, annoying at others..............2005-06-14
I got this book as a present and was immediately excited. I am a HUGE buffy fan and relish any chance to delve deeper into my obsession. While I enjoyed most of the book including the bios, mini analyses of the episodes, I was bored by the fan and party coverage (who cares? it was like 2 years ago!), and a little offended by the author's off-putting feelings towards some of the characters (give Riley and Joyce half a chance). The most annoying part however was the obvious mistakes this so-called "fan" Nikki Stafford made in relating her "nitpicks" of each episode. She points out each "oops" the show made as far as bloopers but I guess she failed to pass this on to an editor because there were a lot of mistakes made concerning her knowledge of the buffyverse. When she couldn't find something substantial to write she floundered, the most obvious point being in the "Buffy vs. Dracula" nitpick section. Ms. Stafford complains that even though Dracula breaks most of the vampire rules, he would still need an invite to enter Buffy's room and you can feel her arrogance when she points out that somehow the writers messed up this technicality. However, later in the episode it is revealed that Joyce had invited him in for coffee and then there is a whole 5 minute scene between Joyce/Willow/Tara discussing her inviting a man into the house. Then, in the next episode it is mentioned again that Joyce mistakenly invited Dracula in. I really wouldn't care about Ms. Stafford's rants if this weren't a "guide to Buffy" written by someone who does take the show seriously and is a little too arrogant when every now and then there is an inconsistency in the show.
Bottom line: I enjoyed reading it, but I enjoyed correcting it even more.
Even being the best...........2005-02-07
This book may be the best guide about Buffy around, but this not means that it's a stisfactory product. Because it's not.
The enormous volume of pages dealing about parties, whatever, are useless. And, most importanyl, it lacks an index to the world of Buffy, something that would run something like this:
"Willow" - Buffy's best friend. Went from a very shy girl to one one of the most powerful witches in the world, blá,bla;
"Ethan" - Gile's old friend from England, when both them, along with some friends, dealed with the black arts. Appeared for the last time in the episode bla, bla, bla..."
It would have been a huge task, but that was what I was looking for when I bought this book, and was dissapointed when I did not find it.
The part of Angel I don't care, bcause I still did not watch this show (I intend to start buying the DVD sets).
The Best Buffy Companion Out There.......2004-06-01
This is the absolute best Buffy guide out there. The book includes DETAILED episode synopsises through the sixth seaons of Buffy and the third season of Angel. Unlike the Watcher's Guide's, these synopsis's are very thorough, as are each actors profile. The book also chronicles the show from its movie beginnings, through each season, to the show's move to UPN. Each episode guide includes the writer's personal favorite moment of the episode, interesting facts, Did you notice moments, Nitpicks, and bloopers from each episode that are fun to scope out.
The book also has an incredibly challenging trivia section, which prompts one to go back and watch the episodes over and over again. Also included are each actors personal websites, as well as good fansites, are included. Having bought many companion guides to this show, I personally say this is the best, for any looking to wise up on Buffy, or maybe simply to extend their Buffy collection.
Best Buffy guide out there.......2004-03-24
Yes, I admit it, I've become a Buffy addict - not normally a TV watcher, I became sucked in by its blend of great writing, humor, drama, and honest portrayal of emotions. In addition to all the seasons on DVD, I've picked up quite a bit of the buffy literature - guides, essays, etc. - and this is the one I keep coming back to. I much prefer it to the more often-cited Watcher's Guides. What some reviewers criticize - the emphasis on Stafford's reviews and opinions - are what i consider the book's strength. None of the other guides offer such a personal take on the series or episodes - and it's a series people relate to in a highly personal way. I don't always agree with the author, and even disagree that a few of the "nitpicks" she found were actual errors, but her opionated views make for much more interesting reading. In a few cases, her opinions made me more clearly define my own, or see an episode in a new light.
I love the information on music at the end of each episode, and the other chapters - on the actors' biographies, the posting-board parties, the internet following for buffy - are all pretty comprehensive. This is a fan's take on a show she loves, in addition to being a guide - which, in my opinion, makes it more interesting for another fan to read. So what if she's unduly harsh on Joyce and Dawn? She backs up her opinions with valid reasons, which others are free to disagree with. I disliked some eps ("Gingerbread," "Beauty and the beast," "As You were") that she liked, liked others better than her, and agreed with her on many more. But I always enjoy her take.
I do wish the section on angel was more thorough - she acknowledges it's pretty cursory compared to Buffy, and my hope is that a future book will flesh it out. But if you want a good buffy episode guide, skip the watchers guides and just get this one. My copy is worn i've gone back to it so often.
My Buffy Bible.......2003-09-29
I absolutly love this book. It is entirely complete (well, up to season six anyway... I'm really hoping they do another revision with season seven added... I'd buy the whole damn book again if they did it) and full of information. This one book gets in all the good stuff that the watcher's guides do in two. When I bought this book I had only seen up to season three, and I was beginning to watch seasons 4-6 in reruns, and I read this book right along with watching the episodes.
Some people have a problem with the opinionated way the author writes the book, but to me it enhances the feel of it being a fan's book.
In short, I love this book, and you should too! ^.^
Book Description
This hands-on science activity book for children 5 to 8 promotes health and safety through 70-plus creative projects, recipes, and experiments. Handwashing becomes automatic and germs become real when children see the once-invisible microbes on their hands thriving in the tomato-soup cultures they’ve prepared. They rush to brush after watching the effects of sugary drinks on a tooth. Nutrition and exercise are fun with treats like Triple-Decker Mouthfuls and games such as Exercise Bingo. Lego people and Silly Putty help to demonstrate the importance of seat belts and bike helmets, and safety becomes a priority as children chant important numbers, identify exits in buildings, and more. All the activities are tested in homes and classrooms to be sure they are safe, effective, and fun.
Book Description
This science activity book for children 5 to 9 explores the musculoskeletal system-bones, muscles, and joints and other connective tissues-and the amazing cells they are made of, where all growth really takes place. Sixty hands-on games, experiments, and activities show what the cells of an orange look like, how our spines are constructed, how our knees and elbows work, what calcium does for our bones, how tendons and ligaments fasten bones and muscles together, and much more. A “growth portfolio” allows young scientists to track their growth, and silly songs and lively illustrations help them remember new words and concepts. All the activities have been tested in homes and classrooms to be sure they are safe, effective, and fun.

"With stunning, eloquent, and insightful essays
Latino/a Popular Culture offers the best guide to the cultural production of the largest group of people of color in the United States. The essays broaden both our knowledge of Latino/a cultural production and challenge the traditional paradigms of cultural and ethnic studies doing so through accessible, historically informed approaches."
—Mary Pat Brady, Cornell University
"Latino/a Popular Culture greatly contributes to the genres of both cultural studies and Latino studies. The editors exhort undergraduate and graduate students to continue looking at Latino/a popular coluture as "as site of invention, critique and pleasure" (p.16) since much work still needs to be done in this area."
—Harvard Educational Review
"The book provides an insight into the current struggles that Latinos who live in the norhern hemisphere face."
—MELUS
Latinos have become the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. While the presence of Latinos and Latinas in mainstream news and in popular culture in the United States buttresses the much-heralded Latin Explosion, the images themselves are often contradictory.
In
Latino/a Popular Culture, Habell-Pallán and Romero have brought together scholars from the humanities and social sciences to analyze representations of Latinidad in a diversity of genres - media, culture, music, film, theatre, art, and sports - that are emerging across the nation in relation to Chicanas, Chicanos, mestizos, Puerto Ricans, Caribbeans, Central Americans and South Americans, and Latinos in Canada.
Contributors include Adrian Burgos, Jr., Luz Calvo, Arlene Dávila, Melissa A. Fitch, Michelle Habell-Pallán, Tanya Katerí Hernández, Josh Kun, Frances Negron-Muntaner, William A. Nericcio, Raquel Z. Rivera, Ana Patricia Rodríguez, Gregory Rodriguez, Mary Romero, Alberto Sandoval-Sánchez, Christopher A. Shinn, Deborah R. Vargas, and Juan Velasco.

Book Description
Experts recommend that children start a foreign language as early as possible. With this book, a child can start learning Latin at age four. Latin is an excellent foreign language to select. Just ask any lawyer, doctor, scientist, or nurse.
Aided by original artwork and an English translation, children learn the Latin words for a full range of colors: red, yellow, blue, pink, white, gray, black, purple, brown, dark green and light green. In the process of learning the color words, they also learn words for apple, flower, pet, food, bird, and canary. Finally they get to select their favorite color. The original artwork is charming and creative. A complete vocabulary, with emphasis on derivatives, and pronunciation guide are provided; a recording of the text is also available.

Better for learning than pleasure reading.......2007-07-17
I already owned "How any Animals" in the I am Reading Latin series, and I liked it-- simple Latin (one-two words per page) and pleasant illustrations-- I thought it simple enough to use with a one-year old. This book, however, seems more suited to elem. school age kids. Also, I thought it would be more "Mommy loves me, Daddy loves me," etc., but it tries to be a little clever and ends up being silly (i.e., Mother comes in carrying groceries and asks for help in Latin that is anything but classical). I like this book least out of the series. The illustrations are not very good.
You and your children will love this book!.......2004-11-07
Who Loves Me?/ Quis me amat? is a great book to share with your class at school and children at home. This book teaches children about family relationships and basic Latin words for family members (mother, father, brother sister, etc.). I particularly fell in love with the pictures - they will be easily memorable for kids.

Awesome little board book. We love having it in our home daycare. Children love it!!!
Outstanding Christian Message--easy to read for age group.......1999-03-30
Written and illustrated well. Great to have a chance for children to learn to read and learn Christian principles at the same time. I would like to see more of this author's works on Amazon. con.
amazing christian children book.......1999-03-25
I want to complement Dandi Daley Mackall's children books. I have been reading her titles for quite awhile, and really enjoy the reading and illustrations. Her books are great for children and families alike. The stories are ones we all can relate to, and they send a strong Christian message we all can learn from. I noticed that you carry a few of her titles, but would love to have access to more of her books through amazon if possible. Thanks for your time and consideration.

An Essential Devotional.......2002-01-19
Michelle McKinney Hammond's devotional, His Love Always Finds Me is a must for those who wish to "launch into the deep". As always, this author encouraged me to take a deeper look at myself against the backdrop of scripture.
My only regret about the book is that I didn't get it sooner.
Absolutely Wonderful--I Love The Lord!!!!!!!.......2001-11-07
Michelle has a wonderful gift and a blessed way of communicating Biblical insight to readers. I love Jesus so much and reading this book helps me to feel like I'm getting to know Him more. I'll admit that sometimes I find the Bible hard to read. This book makes the Bible come alive and presents many great stories of the Bible in a more narrative form. It helps us to increase in the knowledge of God in a way that many of us would find almost entertaining. Be blessed everyone. Michelle, I'm writing a song to go with the title of this book!
Inspiring.......2001-08-01
The author uses examples with people from the Bible for everyday situations of how God was there for them. She let's you know God is with you no matter the situation.

Secrets of An Irresistible Woman.......2000-10-31
First of all, I want to thank God for depositing such a gift in Michelle. A gift to help women (Christian women) set standards in their lives(not compromising)and stand by those standards.
Initially, a girlfriend of mine was given this, I already had the book "What to do Until Love Finds You" and when she said the name Michelle I literally finished her name. I knew that this book would be great.
Because I am a Christian woman, I have read several books written by wonderful women of God but I found that each author is unique in their own style and message. This book has encouraged me to continue to live my life as God has predestined and preordained me to do. This book has also made me proud of who I am and that waiting on God for the mate He has for me is worth it all.
I recommend every woman read this book to get the secrets of a woman that will be irrestible to every man.
You go Michelle.
