Wonderful Anthology
I can't review used additions of this book or any of the sellers, but I can review the book itself.I own it, and have enjoyed it for quite a while now.

'Nothing But Red' is a beautiful collection of stories, poems, drawings etc that speak out against "honor killing" while memorializing one victim in particular, Du'a Kahlil, who was stoned to death in the streets of her hometown.

The book is well edited and printed in nice 'trade paperback' format.There are dozens and dozens of different writers and artists represented here, and even an essay by Joss Whedon (the creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer").

HIGHLY recommended. ... Read more

Product Description
If you're a parent, you may have already discovered the dearth of literature on a very important period in your child's life: ages two to five, known as the preschool years. The first book of its kind, The Preschool Years brings together in a single, superbly organized volume the advice of parents, and the latest thinking of experts, on one hundred issues that arise during this crucial time.

Ellen Galinsky and Judy David have collected an impressive wealth of knowledge from such experts as T. Berry Brazelton, Benjamin Spock, and Bruno Bettleheim, as well as insights from parents themselves, to present a range of practical solutions to everyday problems. Taking into account the very different needs of a wide range of families, The Preschool Years answers specific questions on such topics as:
-- Discipline
-- Expressing and Controlling Anger
-- Television
-- Making Good Family Rules
-- Shyness and Aggressiveness
-- Sharing
-- Moral Development
-- Friends
-- Real and Imaginary
-- Coping with Temperamental Dispositions
-- Eating and Mealtimes
-- Shopping with a Preschooler
-- Building Social Skills
-- Handling Fear
-- Choosing Child-Care Programs
-- Establishing Daily Routines
-- Encouraging Healthy Sex Roles
-- Handling Separation and Divorce
-- Holidays, Vacations, Moving
-- And much more

In its scope, depth, and comprehensiveness, The Preschool Years is a unique contribution to the field. Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a child-development expert, this is the book about preschool children that you should own. ... Read more

Help for parents of preschool children
I purchased this book for my son & his wife, they liked it so much I purchased it for my daughter & her husband when they had children.It really has helpful suggestions.

Among the best--you can't go wrong buying this book!
I've read a lot of parenting books and this is one of the best.Each topic is covered in depth from several angles:
--what is known from research on the topic
--suggested strategies and reasons for using these strategies
--variations and additional suggestions made by parents

I appreciate the nuanced, balanced, kind, sane world view as well. I have a lot of respect for what is in this book, in part based on what is NOT in it.For example, disciplinary strategies are neither the overly touchy feely stuff presented in books like "Becoming The Parent You Want To Be" or a hard authoritarian line that neglects to teach kids WHY treating others with respect and doing the right thing is important.There don't seem to be any crazy sidelines (ie. the wacky diet suggestions of the "What to Expect" series).Outdated notions of gender stereotyping are also refreshingly absent.This book is truly geared toward parents who need advice in a very neutral way, rather than assuming that mommy is running the show as so many books do.

If I could only keep one of the greater than one dozen parenting books I have, this would probably be it.I return to it again and again and find solid, workable and to-the-point advice on a host of issues.

A Must-Have for parents of children 2-5.
If you can only buy one book to get you through your children's preschool-age years, this is it.This book is worth buying rather than borrowing because you'll want to refer back it to over and over. It coversdiscipline and child development, as well as the larger realms of familyand school, in a manner that is accessible, reassuring and veryinformative.First-person narratives are sprinkled throughout, which makesit enjoyable toread.A very wide range of issues are discussed, in atone that respects both the parent and child. ...

Can You Really Chat with the Departed?
Toni Ann Winninger does just that every day. A leading US psychic she amazes us with her ability to channel famous people of the past. Here she helps her colleague British author Peter Watson Jenkins talk informally with 21 deceased leading women of the twentieth century, just as if they had come for tea and a chat about the old days.
Toni and Peter have had years of practice contacting the Other Side. They firmly believe in what they are doing. They say it's quite OK for you to be skeptical - but you'll still want to ask lots of questions!

Here is a sample of Peter's questions answered in this book:
* Does Marie Curie think cell phone radiation is dangerous?
* Was Amelia Earhart captured by the Japanese?
* What amazing musical experience did Maria Callas, Marian Anderson, and Ella Fitzgerald all share?
* Was Sylvia Plath killed by her husband Ted Hughes?
* Did doubts about God make Mother Teresa a hypocrite?
* Does Georgia O'Keeffe still visit her favorite mountain?
* Was Marilyn Monroe's death really an accident?
* What does Golda Meir think will happen to Earth soon, and do Margaret Mead and Rachel Carson agree with her?
* Was Carmen Miranda's depression caused by spousal abuse?
* What memory can still make Helen Keller angry?
* How does Judy Garland get on with her five husbands now?
* What emotion does Anne Frank now feel about the Nazis?
* What secret did Barbara Jordan share with Nancy Earl?
* How did Olympian medalist Wilma Rudolph succeed?
* Did the Manson gang kill Sharon Tate's unborn baby's soul?
* Will Selena Quintanilla-Perez ever forgive Yolanda Saldivar?
* Does Jane Addams think praying for peace is a mistake? ... Read more

Intriguing and Inspiring
Not only did I learn a lot about these womens 'real' life but even more interesting was the point of view the soul takes on once life is over and there a very different "reality" is uncovered. I very much enjoyed the deep insights from a soul perspective, a truth that resonates deeply and has the power to change one's way of perceiving life. ... Read more
