A Great Resourse for Pre WLS, or Post & Confused WLS
919404
This is not a technical manual on WLS, and it's not meant to be.  It's a very well rounded book that humerously provides pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery information.  As a pre-WLS patient, I have found it to be most helpful in "real-life" presentation of all the information gaps that exist for pre-WLS patients. Very digestible read!

I really like this book as a companion resource for undergraduate and graduate students learning about second language acquisition (SLA) for the first time.  The field of SLA is a daunting, lingo-heavy field but the authors zero in on some critical questions and observations about SLA, all the while explaining things in an accessible manner. The first half of the book is like a cliffs notes approach to some big issues for researchers and teachers-in-training. The second half of the book takes a glossary approach and defines key terms in a concise manner. I think anyone who has been assigned one of the more complicated or expansive texts, or is being introduced to SLA one journal article at a time in their SLA course will find this book to be a helpful add on. I would be interested to see a sequel: Key Terms II in second language acquisition.

Ms McNichol has compiled a wonderful list of "problem" word pairs (and a few trios). Should I use complimentary or complementary? (See page 11.) Is it a bi-monthly or a semi-monthly publication? (See page 8 or page 33.)
She has provided helpful mnemonic devices, and is to be particularly commended for the many excellent example sentences that include both words, and which differentiate clearly the meanings of each. (See That, which - page 36.)
I'm convinced that this is an excellent resource for writers at all levels, and I'd like to persuade you to add it to your collection.  (See Convince, persuade - page 12.)

I purchased this book after it was recommended by one of my professors. Some of the information was what one should have learned in an ethics course. However, if you did not have a strong instructor for ethics (  or maybe didn't pay much attention in the course ;)  ) you may find this to be a fantastic resource. I skimmed through it quickly and realized that there were procedures that I needed to do (such as how to write an accurate progress note)that I was not even aware of until I read the book! It also has a lot of helpful resources in the back. I consider this book to be somewhat of a "security blanket" for new therapists or students who have a lot to learn in a short amount of time. Essentially, it outlines a wide range of important topics and also provides you with more resources should you need a more in depth understanding.

For beginners to advanced - this is a great resource.

I bought this after reading Muscle for Life's blog articles for around a year. The blog was helpful, but I really wanted to get a good grasp of the full TLS plan. I love that the book is backed by extremely extensive research, and that it delves into not just the physiology but the psychology behind weight loss and exercise, from mental focus to willpower, to changing those "at least I'm not as bad as I could be" thoughts to "I can be as good as I want to be" ones instead. I'm excited that the book explains progress as a manageable effort, as opposed to something incredibly overwhelming or a quick fix - it's good to have someone be real with me for once about how this all works!

I've been doing the program for a week - and already feel fitter, and the scale says I've dropped 2 pounds - crazy. Thanks!

WordPress is wonderful. The online documentation available at codex.wordpress.org is less than stellar - it's disorganized and, although some articles are very good, others omit to explain material that would help a beginner. Even if you know HTML/CSS, it can be very confusing to customize WP if you aren't PHP-savvy. This book is an excellent guide for new users: it's carefully sequential, and it doesn't assume knowledge of PHP. Instead, it gives you the required PHP code for a wide range of customizations, and tells you where to insert it. Mr. Hayder is very sincere and service-oriented. The book was well worth the price, both as a tutorial and an ongoing reference.

They give great explanations, but I've found myself referring to YouTube Videos a LOT.  I am also subscribed to some classes on Craftsy.com, which is helpful. All 3 resources are great supplements to one antoher

This is a great, one stop resource.  There are so many supplements out there and there are a lot of snake oil salesman.  Tieraona does a good job of putting the information into laymans terms and making it accessible to anyone.  I will reach for this book any time I hear claims about a new supplement and I am using it now to revamp my current supplement regimen.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about Pilates.  Highly recommended.  Basically, generally the same exercises (some variations), but if you follow his instructions, you will feel the difference.  One minor complaint - after doing many, many exhaustive searches in Amazon on the word 'Pilates' to find books on the subject, I only found out about the new revised up-dated version of this book AFTER I had bought and received in the mail a used beat-up library copy.  At that point, I did a search on the author in order to find the book and do a review, only to discover in that search that there is a new up-dated version, that I could have gotten CHEAPER! While I am very satisfied with my old second-hand version with the ragged cover and worn pages, someday curiousity may get the best of me, and I'll order the new version, since it got such a great review.  But you, review-reader, have been tipped off about the new version, so you can make that choice now.

This book is a great resource to have in your 'library'.  It is easy to use and find the information you need.  I think the fact that it includes a chapter on QuickBooks and Excel is particularly helpful and useful!!!

A great resource for SLP students. Well-organized with helpful examples. I bet the chapter exercises would help strengthen the concepts and terminology (now I wish I had done them!). The developmental norms are icing on the cake.

Very clear explanations with photos to get the full picture. I followed the online course by the author which was very good, but you always want to get into some details which cant be covered in a relative short course. This book is a perfect addition for the fine tuning. Although I think this book would be fine for self-tutoring as well. It covers the whole lot: from which type of wordpress to constructing your site and getting it online. Recommended!

I was happy to receive this book a few weeks before my 10 year recertification examination. I had studied prior to obtaining the book & the questions & rationales were a great way to finish my exam preparation. I also noticed the typos as mentioned before. Honestly, I knew this book was coming from a very reputable author & I assumed the publisher was trying to get it in our hands before the exam. I just assumed the proof reading process was a little rushed to meet a deadline.  I was just thankful to have the book & was successful with the exam. This book has a very large bank of new questions & is a great preparation tool for the examination.

It's an excellent compliment to the [...] website.  The book compiles (and in some cases expands or summarizes) many of the best online articles.

There are a few brand new articles containing subject matter not already published on the website (see below for a list).

Another thing I like about the book is that it has some articles that combine and summarize multiple similar web articles (like Cognitive Glitches).

Many of the article titles in the book are different than titles on the website.

I was going to buy this book even if the authors decided to only use the existing online content.  It was an added bonus to see new material.  Here are articles that I found to be exclusive to the book (at the time of this writing) :

*Animal Weaponry
*Cognitive Glitches
*Deep Water Mysteries
*Kowloon: The Walled City of Darkness
*The McCollum Memo
*Peculiar Parasites
*The Revelations of Restored Sight
*Sylbaris The Survivor
*Unanticipated Side Effects
*Walking Corpse Syndrome
*Weird Weaponry

Again, some of the above "new" articles contain pieces and summaries of existing online articles, but the writers added a fair amount of interesting fresh content.

Highly recommended!
