Deaf Pride
For anyone that is studying to be an Interpreter, Teacher of the Deaf, etc., or has a Deaf family member, this book is a necessity. All areas pertaining to American Sign Language and the Deaf community were thoroughly explored and thoughtfully portrayed. There was so much infomation, personal interviews and stories about all aspects. Arden Neisser went everywhere and talked to everyone. This book was very rich in text and left little to be discovered. Nothing was missing!An invaluable source that will leave a tremendous impact on its readers.

A good book to add to your library
The other side of silence is a well written and researched book.It seems that now-a-days books about the Deaf and the Deaf community fall into either the oralist or manualist camp, with very little falling in the center.As a sign language interpreter I am biased (of course) towards the manualist view, and generally dismiss oralist themed books out of hand.However, I was pleased and fascinated to read a thoughtful and unbiased exploration of both sides of the age old argument. ...

Definite must-read for anyone involved with Deaf children!
I was surprised to find that no one had written a review about this book. I know it has been used as a recommended textbook at the University of Pittsburgh in Deaf Education and Educational Psychology, and it was recommended to me by at least four professors. This may constitute part of the problem in deaf and special education, and regular education in public schools for deaf and hearing impaired children. The little amount of research that is being done by people like Marc Marschark, who is a genius in my opinion, is not filtering down to those who need to use this information in making sure that equal opportunity to education is available to these children, no matter what environment they are placed in.

Fit for Eternity - The truth about weight loss and control
This book is absolutely incredible.It speaks to the emotional, physical and spiritual side of not only weight loss but what true health really is. It is a journey to freedom for those who are willing to see and accept the truth about themselves and move onto successful healthly living.

A Healthier Look At Weight Loss
You can't turn on the television without seeing a commercial for one. You can't read a magazine without coming across an ad for one. Everyone knows at least one person who has tried several in a lifetime. You may be that very person. What is the secret word? The word is...Diet! Americans, specifically women, are obsessed with winning the battle of the bulge. Women are bombarded by societal images that tell us if we don't fit into a perfect size six (or less), we are not beautiful, smart, desirable, successful or lovable. We, therefore, spend billions a year on diet aides, foods, supplements, exercise equipment and gym memberships. Yet, we are more overweight than ever before. The average American woman wears a size sixteen. Why do we continue to fail in the pursuit of weight lost? Dr. Deidre Little, a certified clinical nutritionist, attempts to answer that question in FIT FOR ETERNITY: BALANCED LIVING THROUGH BETTER NUTRITION AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH.
Dr. Little-Perrson assists with overall health improvement
What Dr. Little-Perrson is doing is simply miraculous.I am living proof of this.I saw bits and pieces of myself in many of the stories she told in her book, Fit For Eternity. Her comment about our constant chatter with ourselves occurs when our expectations don't meet our performances, brought me to tears.I knew I needed to contact Dr. Little-Perrson for assistance.I was sure that her support would help me to make significant changes needed in my life.Read more

A needed view of disabilities
This book is full of anecdotes from the life of the author, who is also an oft-published sci-fi short story writer.Sharing the author's experiences working, living, and playing while dealing with catestrophic MS is, as the title implies, both a bittersweet and heartwarming experience for anyone who is (or who has a close family member) adapting to life with physical challenges. ...
