Thank you for Life Saving Information
I started looking for a book on the subject since the media hit with the Winona case. I saw Dr. Goldman on Larry King Live, have read quotes from him in recent Time and People magazines and decided to go out and read this compelling book. It touches all the issues I suffer from. It is a compassionate yet straight talking book about a disorder so secretive yet so destructive. Most people simply don't understand the torment and anguish. The book clears up misconceptions and helps the reader grab ahold of themselves. Dr. Goldman, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

A personal book for anyone dealing with Kleptomania
This book about Kleptomania is an excellent book.I was looking for books on this subject, but I found a lot of books that were written in the 80's.This book was published in 1998 and is a great book for anyone dealing withKleptomania.This book is also good for family members and employers whoare dealing with someone who is stealing.I feel that every employershould read this book.

This book is an easy to read and understandbook.Great for teens who `might' think that they have a problem and forolder people who also after getting in trouble with the law find that theyhave a problem with stealing.Kleptomania is not people who stealeverything; people with kleptomania steal things that are useless to them. This book tells you the signs of a person who might be kleptomania.Takingobjects on impulse, without planning ahead; repeatedly taking items thatare of no value or need for personal use; feeling increased tension rightbefore the theft, and then feeling relief and pressure at the time of thetheft and people with kleptomania steal without feelings of anger orrevenge.

Kleptomania is a rare condition.Many people do not come toseek help when they are stealing, unless the courts have told them to.Istarted therapy on my own because I realized that I did have a problem. This book helped me to see that this is a rare problem and that I can behelped and so can anyone dealing with this condition.I would recommendthis book to anyone who might think that they have a problem with stealing. ...

Product Description
Richard Newport is ignorant, too much in fact. He soon comes to realize this as he walks home from the shops. He's being watched, and before he has chance to react he is seized by a band of merciless shadows. Kidnapped. Nothing arises as people try to find him, the hunt continues as he wakes to find his world turned upside down. He awakes to find an aging man of presumable power leering over him, about to tell him about his job, with a group of individuals liable to rip him apart. It seems like a joke, but it isn't. His order is to steal things, but as days pass by he realizes this is no easy stroll. The items are increasing in value, and so is the risk threatening to bring with it a multitude of surprises. Then again, perhaps he can do this. After all, with the help of Elise Ornaze, the beautiful woman he's assigned to live with, it seems like anything is possible. As he bustles through each game with this woman, and a growing troupe of volatile individuals it seems he might just get away clean, all the time unaware he is rushing precariously towards a fall. The surprises are mounting and with it comes distrust, surely he needs to figure this thing out - but as everything comes together, a new surprise emerges, something Richard could never have planned for, something that will change everything. Kleptomania is a blistering new thriller. A tall tale bristled with undertones of drama, romance, mild horror and some humour. An unrelenting torrent of surprise that is bound to leave you reeling as you try to recapture your stolen breath. ... Read more

Product Description
In this brilliantly versatile collection of stories from the award-winning author of Harvest, the reader will encounter a range of themes, from murder mystery to science fiction. The author's vision of a post-apocalypse future is dark, but rendered with a rich vein of irony and humour that allows us to roller-coast with her into a world where air and water and the earth itself take on new shades of meaning. Then there are the here-and-now stories of bodies turning up in backyards, of love betrayed and sexuality discovered, of bitter awakenings and upbeat endings. Intelligent, opinionated, and playful, this is a collection that defies limitations of time, space, and imagination to conjure up new morality tales for our time. ... Read more

Commentary (music and lyrics not included).Chapters: Attack of the Grey Lantern, Six, Kleptomania, Little Kix, Legacy: Best Of. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 39. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Attack of the Grey Lantern is the debut album by English rock band Mansun released in February 1997 via Parlophone Records. The album spent a total of 19 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number one. According to Mansun's Kleptomania liner notes, frontman Paul Draper states that "Take It Easy, Chicken" was their first song and the band really did not know how to play their instruments, let alone play as a band, when DJs Steve Lamacq and John Peel started to play the song on BBC Radio 1. Through 1996 and 1997, Mansun released "Egg Shaped Fred" (which was re-recorded for the album to include new drummer Andie Rathbone), "Stripper Vicar", "She Makes My Nose Bleed" and "Taxloss" (styled Taxlo$$). "Wide Open Space" became a dance anthem after being remixed by DJ and producer Paul Oakenfold under the production alias Perfecto. This remix was included on Oakenfold's compilation Resident: Two Years of Oakenfold at Cream, as an indicator of being one of the most played songs at major UK nightclub Cream, as well as in nightclubs around the world, over the 1997-1999 period. "Taxloss" alludes melodically and lyrically to The Beatles' song "Taxman", and also to the rhythmic feel of "Tomorrow Never Knows", as well as "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" by Little Jimmy Osmond. The video notoriously featured the band throwing £25,000 in five pound notes onto the main concourse of London's Liverpool Street station during rush hour and watching the ensuing chaos. While Mansun's singer and songwriter, Paul Draper, admits that Attack of the Grey Lantern is not a fully fledged concept album, it was his int...http://booksllc.net/?id=2518511 ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Kleptomania," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Kleptomania in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Kleptomania when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Kleptomania, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
