Easy and fun activities .......2007-10-05

While this book is especially helpful for families with children with sensory processing disorder (SPD), all children will enjoy these creative ideas. The summary of different types of SPD at the beginning is useful to show other family members and friends who want to understand your child better.

Great book so far.......2007-07-20

I am just starting to read this book but so far, I love it. I love reading the mother's and therapist's notes. I think they give you such good ideas that come from experience. The activities are clear and resources are always offered.

Great Resource for Parents and Teachers.......2007-05-29

The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun is a great resource for parents and teachers. As a teacher of special needs kids, I'm always looking for materials to share with parents, and this one is really meeting the need. Ms. Kranowitz knows her topic. Her ideas for simple, fun activities that teach are easy to follow. This is a book I will use over and over again.

review.......2007-05-13

This book is a must have to go along with The Out of Sync Child. It gives you some ideas on how to help your child be a kid despite having sensory issues. Good book for parents of autistic children.

Book Description

The public sector currently employs around 40 percent of all union members in the United States. Pressures for cost-effective and quality government services have placed new demands on the labor-management relationship. A fluctuating set of expectations about the appropriate responsibilities of government and a shifting political culture are severely testing the ability of the public sector to meet demands for increased accountability and expanded services. Especially in an age of knowledge workers, the traditional division between labor and management regarding leadership and work may no longer be viable.

Good starting point for blues history.......2007-02-02

Ferris's book is a well-recognized classic study of blues music. The first section, entitled "Blues Roots," provides a highly readable and interesting overview of the history of blues music, and most of Ferris's conclusions have been supported by subsequent research within the past 30 years. The second section, "Blues Composition," is a careful analysis of the various techniques for creating and performing blues music. Ferris avoids arcane ethnomusicological analysis, but he still provides readers with a good feel for the musicianship and lyricism of blues players. The final section is a presentation of a night at a blues house party, featuring lyrics, stage patter, jokes, speech play, and even some toasts by Pine Top Johnson, Floyd Thomas, Jasper Love, and Maudie Shirley. This presentation is an interesting depiction of ways in which blues music is performed in context, and it is an especially important historical documentation of an informal event held at Floyd Thomas's home in the Brickyard section of Clarksdale, Mississippi. Ferris's skill at presenting a slice-of-life portrait of a living tradition is clearly evident in this section of the book, and it's clear how he honed this type of research approach in subsequent documentary films. I also enjoyed reading this section while thinking about the recorded performances of the various blues songs that the musicians perform. The dialogue really creates a good feel for sitting in the shotgun house right along with these musicians. Although the research and the interviews were conducted in the 1960s and 70s, the book doesn't feel that dated. In fact, it is especially interesting to read the vivid accounts of Ferris's interviews with musicians like B. B. King, James "Son" Thomas, and other blues musicians during this time period. The book is also illustrated with excellent black and white photographs that portray a vivid feel for Ferris's impressions about the people and community of the musicians about whom he is writing.

Book Description

Micro Radio became a lightening rod for the emerging Media Activism and Reform Movement. Like the environmental movement in the 1960s and 70s that focused on specific issues like nuclear power, the Media Activism Movement discovered a significant formative issue in micro radio at the turn of the millennium. This book is a close examination of the struggle over micro radio. Throughout this research micro radio is viewed as a site of social activity, a unique cultural and historical bond where ideas about the relationship between media and democracy are explored. This work is the first to spotlight this emerging social movement and uses critical historical analysis to provide a description of it. The information in this book shows the struggle over micro radio as the most recent manifestation of a growing social movement, a movement of media activism and reform. As local people took to the airwaves, illegally broadcasting the frivolous to the serious, theoretical concepts such as localism and public access suddenly became grounded in a real world radio show. Micro radio broadcasters were able to demonstrate what is left out of most mainstream media. They showed what could happen when a diverse public is allowed to access the most universal telecommunications of the day. This look at micro radio will be valuable to communications students who are interested in the strategies behind media and social movements, alternative media, and news media practices.

SMS 2.0.......2006-10-20

This is used for SMS 2.0. The important thing is that SMS 2003 is nothing like 2.0 other than the SMS Installer. The Book is written in an old style not consistant with many other technical resources. If your looking for some basic introduction I would recomend the SMS 2003 Microsoft Press book. It would atleast give you a better overview even though it is outdated.

Love the book, love the format!.......2002-06-16

This book is for experienced SMS Administrators who want to do so much more with their SMS environment... 911 to me means that this book is your first location to turn when you have problems. The checklists of work flow is invaluable, allowing me to pinpoint problems in SMS within minutes. I'm hoping there will be a second edition of this book when SMS 2003 comes out...

The worst tech book I have ever read.......2002-05-21

I do not consider myself to be an expert Systems Administrator, however, I do operate extremely competently at an intermediate level. I purchased this book in hopes of learning the basics of implementing and supporting SMS2.0. I was sadly disappointed.

After reading the other 5-star reviews on this book I was under the impression that this was the end-all do-all text on the subject. When I received my copy what I found instead was a haphazard collection of gotchas, directory hierachy and registry listings. There was not much else in the way of actual instruction to help a SMS newbie master the product.

I can see now that the 5-star reviews seem to be predominantly by experienced SMS admins. For them this volume is probably an excellent addition to thier tech library. But for those who desire their first introduction to SMS take my advice, don't walk, run from this one!!

The best, by the best.......2002-04-11

If you're looking for an SMS book written by the leading industry leader on the subject, this is it. Rod takes a huge subject and breaks it down into easily digestible text. You can literally sit down with this book and read it in a day -- and retain everything. I learned so many ways to optimize my SMS site with this book, that I had a)never thought of, and b)never thought possible. I refer to this book constantly....this book is a very valuable resource to new and old SMS Admins.

Best purchase!.......2002-01-23

I'm an SMS Administrator for 20,000 seats, and this book really blows me away. The logical way it explains troubleshooting and troubleshooting methods is great. And, my SMS site just can't live without the best-practices tips. You can't find this information anywhere else.
