This book is an outstanding example of the best combination of science and art. Dr. Jenkins' extensive and rare knowledge about mushroom taxonomy and nomenclature is wonderfully supported and artistically enhanced by the masterful and enchanting drawings and paintings by Miss parker. A unique and fascinating presentation that will be a special addition for any library.

Not worth Buying.......1999-09-10

How dare such a woman try to make a cheap buck out of a true British hero. This lady has used Andy's credit to try and gain for herself. She isn't even his wife any more. I wish i had never bought the book, she degrades the whole british army and alspecially special forces. As a member of 8 commando brigade i am disgusted to have ready this cheap excuse to try and make money off of someone elses heroism.

This is a very action packed book........1999-07-13

I thought that this book really kept you on the edge of your chair. I hate books that are predictable. This book was not predictable at all. In fact, it really was hard to put down until the end because you never knew what would happen next. Thumbs up to this one... Richard in Henderson, NC

I haven't read this book but..........1999-05-04

I laugh at how the author signs herself off as the "ex-wife of Andy McNab". When I bought Andy's books, I didn't look at them as being written by the ex-husband of whoever.

If her books are good and have merit, they should sell without having to cash in on Andy McNab's name.

Everything Mafia Book; not quite everything.......2003-12-31

This book is an excellent peripheral examination of organized crime from its beginnings to its current state.

For beginiers, this book will teach lessons and stories about the tentacles of organized crime and explain the overall themes and issues.

For mafia experts, this book is nothing more than a regurgitation of issues and theories lacking the supporting facts and details of heavy investigation.

direct&straight to the point.......2003-09-15

alot of Books try to paint a certain Picture about the Mafia but this Book just comes at you directly&doesn't miss a beat.you get the 411 on who did what when&where&How.if you are interested on Mafia Culture&whatnot then this is the Book for you.

Breezy and Informative Overview.......2003-03-29

I was drawn to this book because of its catchy cover with the crime scene tape. I was pleased that the interior lived up to the alluring cover with its compelling and informative narrative. I especially appreciated the author's whimsical touch in chronicling the colorful history of a bunch of hoodlums. He displayed a delightful sense of humor without glorifying the mob, as some of these books do. If you are looking for a single title to give you a fast overview of the shadowy Mafia, I highly recommend this book. In addition to Mafia history, there are get quirky chapters devoted to the "Leadership Lessons of Don Corleone" and "The Mafia on Television." Overall, the book was an enjoyable, edifying read from cover to cover, without getting lost in the sometimes intricate world of organized crime.

This has some information about reef tanks and some good pictures
but what's the sense of having good pictures but the information
does not benefit you with your reef aquarium what's the sense
of buying it for it's just a wast of time and money.

Not a worth while read.......2002-05-19

While this book has some nice photos of coral, it reads more like a kindergarten text book, provides no real information, and the author seems completely out of touch with the subject matter. I urge you to pick a different book!!

wants to know the basic tips for growing houseplants. The "What Can Go Wrong" section extensively covers human errors,

A great book for beginners, with a section on how to measure the amount of light your plants receive which I found to be very helpful. The last section lists some houseplants commonly found in any supermarket or flosrist shop. Excellent color photos.

Book Description

Friends broaden our children’s horizons, share their joys and secrets, and accompany them on their journeys into ever wider worlds. But friends can also gossip and betray, tease and exclude. Children can cause untold suffering, not only for their peers but for parents as well. In this wise and insightful book, psychologist Michael Thompson, Ph.D., and children’s book author Catherine O’Neill Grace, illuminate the crucial and often hidden role that friendship plays in the lives of children from birth through adolescence.

Drawing on fascinating new research as well as their own extensive experience in schools, Thompson and Grace demonstrate that children’s friendships begin early–in infancy–and run exceptionally deep in intensity and loyalty. As children grow, their friendships become more complex and layered but also more emotionally fraught, marked by both extraordinary intimacy and bewildering cruelty. As parents, we watch, and often live through vicariously, the tumult that our children experience as they encounter the “cool” crowd, shifting alliances, bullies, and disloyal best friends.

Best Friends, Worst Enemies brings to life the drama of childhood relationships, guiding parents to a deeper understanding of the motives and meanings of social behavior. Here you will find penetrating discussions of the difference between friendship and popularity, how boys and girls deal in unique ways with intimacy and commitment, whether all kids need a best friend, why cliques form and what you can do about them.

Filled with anecdotes that ring amazingly true to life, Best Friends, Worst Enemies probes the magic and the heartbreak that all children experience with their friends. Parents, teachers, counselors–indeed anyone who cares about children–will find this an eye-opening and wonderfully affirming book.

From the Hardcover edition.

Worst Enemies/ Best Friends Beacon Street Girls.......2004-09-15

Hi,My name is Taylor. I read Beacon Street Girls. It was a really great book. You never knew what to expect next. It was so interesting I could hardly put it down. It is a good book for any age girl. I felt like I was one of the Beacon Street Girls. I could see myself there. It is a perfect book for every girl. It has all the personalities of every girl, so anyone can relate to it. The book kept me guessing throughout the entire story. Even when I put it down I kept wondering what was going to happen next. I would highly recommend this book to any girl of any age. I know you will enjoy this and be glad you read it. I hope you will be as excited as I to read the next book and tell your friends.

Not as interesting as I'd hoped.......2002-09-17

I guess I was expecting something more in-depth and less instructional. I am sure this is a fine book for a parent who isn't clued into how some kids are popular and some kids have no friends at all, but I was looking for a more psychological perspective.

I did find the short sections about infants and toddlers very interesting. I think there should have been less emphasis on popularity and what it means to children. The section about people acting a certain way because of a group mentality rather than personal morals captured my attention.

This book is important........2002-05-03

Alice Miller (author of The Drama of the Gifted Child and Breaking Down the Walls of Silence) has long emphasized that if we are serious about solving society's problems, we must focus on how we treat children --- as individual families and as a cultural. This book is an excellent contribution toward that end.

From thought-provoking observations to practical suggestions about solutions, Best Friends, Worst Enemies is an effective education about social problems that begin in childhood, but do not end in childhood. One point the authors make that interests me greatly is that when one child is being bullied by others, the majority of children witnessing the abuse will either do nothing to intervene or they will join in with the bullying. If you think that is not a reflection of the society in which we live, think again.

As a psychotherapist and author (Embracing Fear, HarperSanFrancisco) who emphasizes personal responsibility and facing fears head on, I hope that more than just parents and educators will read this book. I think there is something here for us all to think about --- no, to do something about.

Children's social lives.......2002-03-13

Outatanding book! It has valuable information for adults concerning what our kids social lives are like and how to help them when there is a problem. Children can be so cruel. The book sheds light on a world we as adults don't really understand. This book is well written and easy to read. I highly recommend it!

Shows how parents can understand and help children socially.......2002-02-19

After watching a feature documentary on the power of social relationships to shape a child's life into adulthood, I was already interested in learning more. This book filled the bill, especially the sections which revealed how children use power (and even bullying) to both include some children and exclude others. I think most of us remember the playground bullies but what this book did was show how parents can help to change bullying behavior, give their children skills to handle bullies and lessen the damaging effects of their behavior.
This book focuses on far more than bullies and those who purchase it will find it filled with rich insights into the social world of children and how they view their friendships and connections with other children.
