Indigo Children ~ Super Sensitive Kids 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I'd like to refer anyone reading this comment to the reader who posted this review: The Quintessential Resource On Indigos, April 23, 2005...scroll back and take a look. They said everything perfectly! Why be redundant?

I would like to clear up, though, the misconception that seems to be floating out there that these kids don't need boundaries, guidance. That's totally untrue. They DO. Moreso than the other children. These children need these things to grow up to be respectful adults. If not, they WILL grow up thinking it's a free for all. Yes, they are different..yes, they require tons more patience, but they are sooo worth it!

I hate labels. Of any kind. ADD, ADHD...even Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow, etc. Personally, I feel these children should be called "Super Sensitive Kids". By that, I'm talking about their inner energy and needing to channel it properly; anyway, that is for another topic:~) Please read the book with an open mind.

Editorial Review:

The Indigo Child is a child who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes that reveal a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. Join international authors and lecturers Lee Carroll and Jan Tober as they bring together some very fine minds to discuss and expose this exciting premise. Many alternate methods of treating ADD are presented, and you won’t believe some of the spiritual aspects of this study!

I bought one of these Bibles at a Bible Book store as a birthday gift a few
years ago. I liked it so when my own bible became worn out I just orered one
for me.

Perfect gift! 5 out of 5 stars.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend. It was exactly what she wanted. It would be great as a first bible because it is so easy to use or as an additional reference bible since it is color-coded, how easy is that?

Rainbow Study Bible, NIV 5 out of 5 stars.

In the last few weeks, we have purchased four of the Rainbow Bibles. Three were gifts. This Bible is well regarded for the ease of following a subject through the Scriptures. Even though it has been replaced with a newer updated version, we would still recommend it to anyone.

Editorial Review:

Experimental, inventive, provocative and above all visionary, Gloria Anzalda's work is widely recognized among scholars of Chicano/Latino, Gay and Lesbian, Women's, Postcolonial, Ethnic and Cultural Studies as a foundational elaboration of the politics and poetics of cultural hybridity. Both Borderlands/La Frontera and Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras are all about understanding the complex and competing social, political and cultural forces that shape-sometimes quite brutally-the experiences of women of color in the U.S., and they are all about taking that understanding and mobilizing it toward creative and revisionary efforts for making social change.

"One of the 100 Best Books of the Twentieth Century"-Hungry Mind Review (Spring 1999)

"Anzalda's voyage of discovery, focused on the border and the new mestiza, is a preparation for the future. The border is a bundle of contradictions and ambiguities... This hybrid crossroads is just the right kind of training ground. It is fertile area for mutations and transformations. In Borderlands/ La Frontera, Gloria Anzalda is our guide with an all-encompassing vision to charge the border with meaning."-The Americas Review

"[She] explores in prose and poetry the murky, precarious existence of those living on the frontier between cultures and languages. . . .she meditates on the conditions of Chicanos in Anglo culture, women in Hispanic culture, and lesbians in the straight world. ...a powerful document."-Library Journal

A "Best of 1987" Library Journal selection.

"Anzalda's vision encompasses spiritual and experiential aspects of female power, as well as the day-to-day courage and struggle that has characterized Chicano survival."-The San Francisco Chronicle

almost identical! 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I actually really wanted this set because the covers were so much better than the english versions, and I was unhappy that the cover was different and has a huge circle on it saying "now a major motion film!" The quality of the translation is great though, and even the pictures are the same as the set I have. I would recommend this book as a spanish translation!!

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Spanish edition): El leon, la bruja y el ropero (Narnia) 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Una buena novela fantastica, tal vez un poco corta en sus descripciones dirigida a un publico infantil, pero amena para adultos.

Editorial Review:

Abren una puertay entran en otro mundo

Narnia. . . una tierra congelada en un invierno eterno. . . un país que ansía ser libre.

Cuatro chicos aventureros entran por la puerta de un ropero y llegan a la tierra de Narnia -- un país esclavizado por el poder de la Bruja Blanca.

Pero, cuando se han perdido casi todas las esperanzas, el regreso de Aslan, el gran león, significa un gran cambio ... y un gran sacrificio.

Comments on the Firm 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This is a book of suspense in which, once again, Mr. Grisham keep us reading and reading one chapter after another. Eventhough this is a fiction book, I think that the lawyer's environment is not very far, or not far at all, from what he presents, showing us the hidden intrigues within the lawyer's firm. I encourage you to read this book, it's great!

Editorial Review:

Brimming with heart-pounding suspense and legal intrigue, the novel that placed John Grisham on the literary map forever changed the way the public looks at the law. In "The Firm", a young attorney is drawn to a successful law firm in Memphis where the perks are good--but the secrets are deadly.

Not quite as educational as advertised 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

The dust jacket for this book, which you can view here on amazon by clicking "Search inside this book" advertises: "This translation has been made especially for American children who want to learn Spanish. They will find a complete vocabulary at the end of the book. In addition, some Spanish phrases and expressions that may be unknown to the beginner are translated at the foot of each page."

Strangely, the book itself does not have those features. While it is a charming book, and my children will certainly enjoy it, there is no vocabulary at the end of the book, and there are no footnotes.

Great book 5 out of 5 stars.

There are so few of these, especially from an English original. Buy it for your kids to learn more Spanish.

This is Curious George in Spanish. My grandson who just turned six loves Curious George. I want him to love and learn Spanish; hence, the buying of the book. Since he practically has the book memorized in English, I felt it would be easy for him to pick up words and phrases in Spanish.

Editorial Review:

A Spanish translation of the original Curious George story.

ESOL class 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This picture dictionary is one that is most requested by my students. It is easy to use when they want words by subject. I find it useful in helping me to understand their languages as well. It's not of much value for looking up words alphabetically, but for that we have bilingual dictionaries. It's worth keeping in my classroom library, but is a frequent theft item. Other teachers might need to keep this in mind.

Very Good resource for learning English as a Second Language 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This picture dictionary is an excellent resource for learning English as a Second Language for native Spanish speakers. The only reason I didn't give it five (5) stars is because I would like the print to be a little bit bigger, but even as it is, it is still readable.

Editorial Review:

"The New Oxford Picture Dictionary" and its components provide a complete, four-skills language development program. The program is: practical - a wide range of topics introduce new words in their most common context; easy to use - vocabulary items are presented without ambiguity or the need for translation; versatile - the Dictionary itself and its components have unlimited applications; and flexible - the Dictionary can be used alone or with its components.

Get the Book..Stay away from the CD package...cuz of annoying *BEEP* after every word 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've review quite a few spanish cd's so I'm not new to this. In general, my reviews have been fair. I will update this as I get around to using the book more.

Packaging: Nothing fancy. Book w/ sleeve inside w/ 3 audio cd's. The 3rd ed of Harvey book is twice the length and with of 2nd w/o out addition of much more info...so that's it's roughly the size of 8.5x11 sheet of paper. This change makes the book no longer pocketable and makes putting it into a labcoat/whitecoat impossible. They should have just kept the size as small as before.

Book iself: I think it has more useful medical content in specific clinical situations than it's competitor, "Spanish for Healthcare Provider by Rios/McGraw-Hill" book. The Harvey book doens't have frivilous idioms/expression that the rios book has. Very focused.

Audio CD content: I'll be frank. The CD is a disaster. First CD has basic intro to spanish (nothing very medical related). I would have rather they devoted all 3 to medical spanish since I bought the package to listen in car. 2nd and 3rd CD has some medical terms, vocab, etc. Unlike the Rios CD in which the CD contents adhere to sections w/in the Rios book, I didn't quite see a clear correlation between the Harvey chapters and the cd. Negative side of Rios book is that it only says english word and then spanish word once...but the pauses between english/spanish is appropriate. Good thing about Harvey book is it read the english word. Then reads the spanish word, and repeats the spanish word.

Now the most ANNOYING thing about the Harvey book...which makes me not recommend annoyone buy it until the publisher makes a change, is that it'll say:
1. ENGLISH WORD
***SILENCE*** (anyone between 3-10 s...way too long)
2. SPANISH WORD
***B-E-E-P** (sounds like a Tele monitor beep, or IV pole beep)
3. and then repeat the SPANISH WORD.

What genius thought of the "BEEP"? It's almost the same annoying beep u'd hear in a Tele bed in the ICU or if an an IV pole was clogged and beeping. That 3-10s pause is one end of the extreme. On 2nd half of CD3, there's a vocab section in which narrator reads english and spanish word once. However, interval between the words is now only 1s...yikes..I couldn't even keep up w/ the speed. Talk about extremes. Totally ruins the CD. Whoever was the producer of the CD totally overlooked the format of other language CD's where it's usually:

1. English word 2. Silence for about 2s 3. Spanish word. 4. Silence for about another 2s. 5. Repeat spanish word.

One good thing is that Itunes recognizes the CD and automatically titles the tracks.

I'd give the book a 4 star...and the CD a 0 star...so my 2 star rating stands. The production side of the CD really tarnished Harvey's good book.

Editorial Review:

Expanded in this edition with more words, phrases, and helpful exercises, this program also features two brand-new sections. One of them is directed at health care receptionists, and the other deals with health insurance forms. This bookis designed to help doctors, nurses, and medical assistants communicate in Spanish with Latino patients and their families who have little or no command of English. Every Spanish word in the book is followed by its phonetic pronunciation. The book also provides easy-to-follow tips on understanding colloquial spoken Spanish. Author William Harvey concentrates on words and phrases likely to be used in a medical setting. True-to-life dialogues dramatize situations pertaining to pregnancy, broken bones, pediatric care, heart and lung diseases, pharmacy prescriptions, drug problems, medical treatment of accident and crime victims, and much more.
