Eight years ago, four psychologists with varying backgrounds but a
common in terest in the impact of environmental stress on behavior
and health met to plan a study of the effects of aircraft noise on
children. The impetus for the study was an article in the Los
Angeles Times about architectural interventions that were planned
for several noise-impacted schools under the air corridor of Los
Angeles Interna tional Airport. These interventions created an
opportunity to study the same chil dren during noise exposure and
then later after the exposure had been attenuated. The study was
designed to test the generality of several noise effects that had
been well established in laboratory experimental studies. It
focused on three areas: the relationship between noise and personal
control, noise and attention, and noise and cardiovascular
response. Two years later, a second study, designed to replicate
and extend findings from the first, was conducted."

One of the most beloved stories of all time--"The Hockey
Sweater"--is celebrated in this heartfelt recollection. Reflecting
on the original short story and mortifying real-life moment that
started it all, the account relates how the resulting film is as
much about childhood emotions and the desire to fit in as it is
about hockey, the clash of cultures, and a harkening to bygone
times. Canada's tireless devotion to the film is illustrated,
emphasizing how it is also loved by many more around the world.
Delving into the artist's notebooks, photographs, and memories,
this record recreates the movie's entire development, journeying
back to the people and places that inspired its original imagery.
The director's additional films and illustrations are also
explored, chronicling a 40-year career and providing rich insights
into the creative process.
This humorous guide uses a cartoonish style and clever captions to
show kids how to draw--and defend Earth from intergalactic
invaders. Simple, step-by-step instructions help aspiring artists
use basic shapes and their own imaginations to create a host of
alien creatures, flying saucers, and evil robots, as well as heroes
who will help save the planet.

In the days of Roch's childhood, winters in the village of Ste.
Justine were long. Life centered around school, church, and the
hockey rink, and every boy's hero was Montreal Canadiens hockey
legend Maurice Richard. Everyone wore Richard's number 9. They
laced their skates like Richard. They even wore their hair like
Richard. When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his
mother writes away for a new one. Much to Roch's horror, he is sent
the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs,
dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team. How can Roch face the
other kids at the rink?
"The Hockey Sweater" is a Canadian children's classic, and we are
very excited to be doing an anniversary edition. It will include
lots of extras, including original material from the author and
illustrator, stills from the animated film, letters and quotes from
celebrities and more. The design will be updated and refreshed.
This will be a wonderful collector's edition for those who know the
book, and a wonderful introduction to those who don't.

hard and understand that true satisfaction resides in what you can
do for others. Sheldon Cohen M.D. FACP
Therapies for specific illnesses or symptoms include many
medications. The ultimate decision to take these medications rests
with the patient relying on a healthcare professional's advice.
Medications carry with them benefits, risks, and the potential for
medical errors. Patient vigilance is necessary to eliminate medical
errors that could result in serious or fatal consequences.
Exercise is an alternative or adjunct to medication. No
medication is as versatile and has as many widespread benefits as a
well-designed exercise program done with physician supervision. The
authors list the many symptoms and illnesses that benefit from
exercise, detailing the research and the reasons why these benefits
occur.
A well designed, physician supervised and faithfully executed
exercise program may well obviate the need for medication and will
provide life-long benefits.
