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.

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.

Medical errors kill 98,000 patients per year in the United States.
But you, the patient, can play a crucial role in preventing these
mistakes by fully educating yourself about your own health.
According to author and medical doctor Sheldon Cohen, the best way
to secure this information is to get a comprehensive medical
examination. "The Patient's Guide to the Complete Medical
Examination and the Prevention of Medical Errors" is the perfect
tool to help you take charge of your health as you attempt to
navigate through the United States' overburdened health-care
system. Filled with essential information on what an examination
should entail, Cohen reveals several key points you need to discuss
with your doctor. These include your complete medical history, the
functioning of each organ system, and laboratory data. Once armed
with your personal health information, you will be in a position to
reduce your risk for medical error and live a longer, healthier
life.
