"the animated art style, with deeply textured acrylic colors in invitingly warm colors and cheery scrapbook paper collage, buoys the effort. . . . who can't use a gentle nudge to remember manners?"&mdash;Kirkus Reviews  "Cabrera mixes Grace&rsquo;s own childlike handwriting and drawings with the book&rsquo;s sweetly simple illustrations to charming effect. . . . This cute, over-the-top story would make a great segue into lessons on letter writing or good manners."&mdash;Booklist "This beautifully illustrated picture book for young children is a great lesson in communicating appreciation and gratitude. The illustrations, created with acrylic paint and collage, predominantly display Grace&rsquo;s handwritten notes on notebook paper surrounded by the objects and people of Grace&rsquo;s affection.

The text is descriptive and uncomplicated and the story moves at an energetic pace that will keep young readers engaged until the very end. A love story about kindness and gratitude that serves as a good reminder for the young and the young-at-heart."&mdash;School Library Journal

"In my personal opinion, Strozzi-Heckler hits the mark in identifying one of the  most troubling problems affecting today's U.S. military forces: the ascendancy of  technology at the expense of moral values that underpin the true spirit of the Profession  of Arms. A must read for those amongs us who really consider themselves warriors." &mdash;Michael E. Haas, Lt. Colonel, United States Air Force; Head, Air Force Special Operations &ldquo;What a story this is! Strozzi-Heckler&rsquo;s chronicle of the army&rsquo;s daring experiment  in awareness training for twenty-five Green Berets is must reading for anyone interested  in the role of the warrior in a technological age. But more than that, it is an illumination  of courage and vulnerability and what it means to be a man. I couldn&rsquo;t put it down.&rdquo; &mdash;George Leonard, author of The Silent Pulse and The Ultimate Athlete &ldquo;The Marine  Martial Art program grew out of the conviction that every Marine must be imbued with  the values that have sustained the Corps throughout its 227-year history&mdash;honor, courage,  and commitment. These warrior values are at the heart of Richard Strozzi-Heckler&rsquo;s  work with the Marine Corps and the other services to strengthen those who go in harm&rsquo;s  way in order to preserve our freedom. In Search of the Warrior Spirit reminds us  of how urgent that task is.&rdquo; &mdash;R.D. Hearney, General, United States Marine Corps (Ret.);  former Assistant Commandant  "An exciting journal of discovery...Essential reading  for military leaders who want to broaden their ability to adapt to a world characterized  by ambiguity. Strozzi-Heckler's original work helps readers link the important of  mind-body-spirit integration to cutting edge leadership in a pragmatic and thoughtful  manner." &mdash;Fred T. Krawchuk, Lt. Colonel, United States Army Special Forces

Not only is Delta-v no exception, it very well may be his finest work to date...&#160;Throughout his career, Suarez has found consistent comparison to the late, great Michael Crichton.

"This book is an excellent compilation of all the various topics of protective relaying. The focus is on protection systems and functions applied in various parts of the power system. The underlying fundamentals of power systems are not included in this book since they are handled in the other volumes of the handbook series. In the book, recent technological developments have been successfully taken into account, and there is even a chapter devoted to modern microprocessor-based multifunction relays. The book is based on the North American system design and standards but provides a vast amount of knowledge to engineers and students of this specific field all over the world."— Kimmo Kauhaniemi, University of Vaasa, Finland

Praise for The Gene Therapy Plan &#160;&ldquo;A guide to harnessing the power hidden in food to subvert a &lsquo;genetic predisposition for disease.&rsquo; . . . Gaynor&rsquo;s informative tome is worth reading.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;The Gene Therapy Plan identifies how the lives we lead, and in particular, the foods and nutritional supplements we ingest, are a key determining factor in whether latent disease (which most people have to some degree) materialize or stay dormant.

"This important book maps much of the work operationalising the capability approach to date, and shows one of the ways in which that approach can be used for global development agenda setting. Given the significance of the Post-SDG agenda, and the importance of both local and global knowledges, this book makes an important contribution to these areas. Anyone interested in mainstream development ethics, goal setting, and the capability approach will find this book an excellent resource." – Krushil Watene, Massey University, New Zealand"In this lucid and systematic study, Morten Fibieger Byskov provides challenging answers to three questions at the core of both development ethics and the capability approach to development: (1) Which should be the goals of development and a "development agenda?" (2) Who should decide? and (3) What methods should be employed in deciding? The "inclusive framework" for which Byskov argues achieves a nice balance between normative and empirical aspects of development and between the rights of local stakeholders and contributions of a variety of experts. This engaging volume will be a "must read" for development ethicists, capability theorists, and development practitioners." - David A. Crocker, University of Maryland, USA.
