Can parents change, or are they saddled with their present attitudes and habits? Does understanding of a child and his problems of growing up make any real difference in what parents actually do, or in how the child matures? Many people today take a negative, defeatist attitude toward those questions. However, there is a positive way of thinking about child growth and development. We have sound psychological evidence that children learn under certain conditions, when they feel a need for learning, when the task is meaningful and appropriate to their ability, when they can see results, and when they experience satisfaction in the process and the product. Parents can consciously help to create these conditions. This is especially true in helping the child learn to read. Parents not only can avoid creating situations in which the child becomes bored, frustrated, or resentful about reading; they can also create situations in which the child can succeed with reasonable effort, whatever his ability may be; situations in which he can get some satisfaction from reading, whether he reads a book of riddles, an adventure story, or fascinating facts about history or science.In this book we have tried not to be prescriptive. We do not want to sound like the voice of authority telling parents what to do about their child's reading. Our aim is to give parents a background of understanding that will help them to determine their own role in the reading development of their child. Many specific suggestions will be given, as a reservoir of ideas from which parents may select any pattern or combination of patterns that seems appropriate to their child. Thus they will become more competent and confident in their rightful role as co-workers with teachers in the formal aspects of their child's education
The ability to communicate is amazing. No other human ability is so complicated, so sophisticated, so important to civilization-and yet so taken for granted. How tragic would life be without the marvelous ability to communicate? In "Simply Amazing: Communication Sciences and Disorders," Dr. Dennis C. Tanner explores the stages of the communication chain and examines the act of speech communication from the speaker's thoughts to the listener's understanding of them. Relying on more than forty years of experience studying, teaching, researching, and providing clinical services in the communication sciences discipline, Tanner provides a frank and informative discussion about the subject, including both conventional and offbeat theories of human communication, unique and sometimes bizarre disorders, and intriguing patients. Through anecdotes, examples, illustrations, case studies, and personal asides of the amazing human ability to communicate-as well as the myriad disorders, defects, delays, and disabilities that can lay waste to it-"Simply Amazing: Communication Sciences and Disorders" provides keen insight into the world of communication.

Are you suffering from ringing in the ears, or a medical term called Tinnitus? Do you know what causes the ringing sound? And are you desperately needed a way to stop it? Tinnitus is triggered by multiple internal factors and therefore can only be treated by tackling all of those internal elements responsible for Tinnitus.

In "Tinnitus STOP ," you will learn: - EVERYTHING you need to know about Tinnitus, EXACTLY what causes the noise in your head - The best anti-Tinnitus foods you should eat all the time - The worst foods you should never eat when you have Tinnitus - How to cure Tinnitus naturally - Simple but often overlooked tips and tricks for preventing Tinnitus from coming back in the future - The most powerful homeopathic herb that can quickly reverse most Tinnitus conditions - The one vitamin supplement that you should always take on a daily basis to make a dramatic impact on your Tinnitus condition sometimes in a matter of days - And much more...
During the last ten years so many works have accumulated in the domain of Physics, and so many new theories have been propounded, that those who follow with interest the progress of science, and even some professed scholars, absorbed as they are in their own special studies, find themselves at sea in a confusion more apparent than real. It has therefore occurred to me that it might be useful to write a book which, while avoiding too great insistence on purely technical details, should try to make known the general results at which physicists have lately arrived, and to indicate the direction and import which should be ascribed to those speculations on the constitution of matter, and the discussions on the nature of first principles, to which it has become, so to speak, the fashion of the present day to devote oneself. I have endeavored throughout to rely only on the experiments in which we can place the most confidence, and, above all, to show how the ideas prevailing at the present day have been formed, by tracing their evolution, and rapidly examining the successive transformations which have brought them to their present condition. In order to understand the text, the reader will have no need to consult any treatise on physics, for I have throughout given the necessary definitions and set forth the fundamental facts. Moreover, while strictly employing exact expressions, I have avoided the use of mathematical language. Algebra is an admirable tongue, but there are many occasions where it can only be used with much discretion.

You know, if I had the chance to go back now, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd like to take out my bad parts, but no one's perfect.

From the foreword by Ray Gottlieb, O.D., Ph.D.: "I'm pleased to see that Esther Joy van der Werf has written Read Without Glasses at Any Age now. Its publication brings a fresh look at Bates' work at a time when it's really needed. Her book gets straight to the point. It is free of fluff and true to Bates' approach and includes plenty of his original writing about his own and his patients' experiences of learning to see small print without artificial aids. Esther's little book takes just an hour or two to read but success comes by learning, doing and staying with the process until it becomes part of who you are, all day, every day for the rest of your life."
