I would neither rant nor rave about this okay book.......2007-09-15
What it is: This is a short (61 pages), easy-to-read book, with lots of colorful drawings, that is aimed at helping children, ages four to eight, deal with anger. Each page features a few sentences and drawings to fit the text. It starts by describing anger and its possible consequences, depending upon how it is expressed. The book then helps "normalize" the feeling by talking about how everyone gets angry at times. It moves on to give some ideas of what to do, and what not to do, to deal with anger in better ways.
What it does well: This book does a good job of portraying anger as a normal emotion, and that will resistant or defensive ("I am not mad! Stop saying that!") children acknowledge their own anger. It also opens the discussions on what the experience of anger is, and the possible consequences of expressing anger in aggressive or destructive ways. To a lesser extent, it also opens the door on discussing what are constructive things to do when angry. The best idea in the what-to-do mode relates to describing healthy ways to use the energy associated with being angry. The kids will like the illustrations, as they are colorful and they clearly relate to the ideas of the accompanying text. That makes this a good read-along book.
What it does not-so-well: After opening the door on discussing several important topics, the follow-through is often weak. When describing the experience of anger, the book mentions a little about common thoughts, and about how thoughts, feelings, and physical responses are interconnected, but then it just moves on, too quickly. Much more could have been done with this area, with only a few more sentences, a few more pages, and a few more drawings. The thinking associated with anger is just touched upon, and needed more discussion, especially related to pairing up new thoughts with new activities, to try to deflate the anger. This is mentioned, but glossed over. Then count-to-ten method is mentioned, but this often does not work, as it is started too late in the anger-escalation process. That is why the early signs of anger needed more description in the book, as that would create the opportunity to prevent escalation. Another area that is introduced, but then glossed over, is how no one can make another person angry. By just mentioning this, without explaining it, the book opens the door for the child to cite numerous examples to dispute the idea (e.g., "But my sister always kicks me when no one is looking!"). More discussion of the distinction between provoking behavior from others, versus angry responses to such behavior, would have made the book better. Another lost opportunity!
How to best use this tool: This book is a good "launching pad" for discussing anger with children. An adult could read it to a four-year-old (with the child following the pictures); an adult and a six-year-old could read it together, and an eight-year-old could read it to the adult. An eight-year-old will need ancillary enriching discussion, or the child might dismiss the book as being for little kids, depending upon his or her reading level. I would suggest that a parent or therapist have a good plan of how to add on to what the book says, before reading it with a child. In that way, the adult could use the book to introduce the basic concepts, and then move into a constructive discussion. A good way to prepare for such a discussion is for that would be for the adult to first read either The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children or Transforming the Difficult Child.

Just what I was looking for.......2007-06-27
This book is just right for children who struggle with controlling their anger. My 5 year old son is so engaged with the book, he carries it around and asks everyone to read it with him. I think it's reassuring to him that he is not the only one who struggles with anger. We also bought "Don't feed the monster on Tuesdays" He really enjoys that book as well, he is a little perfectionist and the book helps him to have a more relaxed approach to things going wrong and making mistakes. I love the books and can see me ordering the others soon.
Children's Anger-Control Book.......2007-01-16
Great book! Well written. Helps kids "get it". Recommended.
Don't Rant and Rave.......2003-02-23
I'm a therapist in private practice. I send this book home with elementary school age children and they love it so much that they don't want to bring it back! They are relieved to know that they are not the only ones who get angry. The book gives them great tips on how to calm down. Moser knows children and has a sense of humor. Enjoyable pictures.
Good One..........2002-11-16
I'm a school counselor and use this one with my middle elementary aged kids (3-4 grade). They enjoy it and it's easier for them to understand. I really recommend this one.

Amazing Book!.......2007-06-09
I can't get over how incredible this book is! I was excited by the titles and reviews but wasn't sure how it would be received by my kids. They were rivoted by the book (my intonations helped a bit ;) and as soon as we finished we did some great role-playing of what makes the monster grow and shrink. I'm so happy - what a great tool to refer to in our everyday conversations! THANK YOU authors!
Good book.......2007-02-20
I used this book to review and present to an elementary school audience. Very good!
MY BOYS ARE READING.......2002-10-15
I am amazed that my kids have jumped on this book and even offered to loan it to a teacher. Easy to read and funny as well this book has it all, in a way kids can understand. Each of my two boys has read and reread this self esteem guide for youn adult/ preteen.
Don't Feed the Monster..........2002-07-11
I think this is a great book with such a great message. I plan on reading this to my son as much as possible! This is a great book to start reading early on to help children better accept themselves, etc.
Kids and Adults Will Benefit.......2002-03-09
Both my 4 1/2 year old son and my 6 1/2 year old daughter loved this book and the others in the
series we've read. The pictures and the advice are fun, entertaining and helpful. Be warned,
however, this book is a kids' style book. Don't let the high price fool you. It is structured
like the longish Dr. Seuss Books (Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish, etc.). The only reason it
didn't get 5 stars is the high price tag. Most of the kids books we've bought like this one are
about 6-9 dollars. ...is quite a lot for a 5-10 minute read. Other than the price tag, however
this book is great for the grade school age kid. I worry that the 8-10 year olds may find it a
little babyish or uncool, but K-2nd age is perfect. Pre-schoolers may be a bit young to get all
the benefits of it, but they will enjoy it anyway.

disappointing.......2003-05-20
Based on the reviews, I expected something much better. This is not a book that as a professional, I found to be very useful.
Counseling Kids.......2002-10-10
I am a counseling intern working with a head start type program that works with parents and preschoolers. I used this book to teach the children and parents about stress management! The book teaches children breathing techniques, guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation (all stress reducing activities that are used for adults).
For preschoolers, I skipped over some of the big words, but it has great illustrations and comparisons! It takes a difficult to understand concept and makes it understandable and managable for children.
GREAT BOOK FOR KIDS (AND THEIR PARENTS, TOO) !.......2000-03-26
Dr. Moser gives kids an easy-to-understand look at stress and offers great coping skills in this delightfully illustrated book. I got this book for my children after our family moved to a new city and we were all showing signs of "Popping Our Corks". This book was GREAT! The kids (and mom and dad, too) are still using Dr. Moser's relaxation techniques/coping skills to deal with our ever stressful lives. It was such an enjoyable book, the kids didn't even realize they were learning valuable skills to use for a lifetime. I would recommend this book to anyone!
Don't Pop Your Cork on Mondays - Review.......2000-03-25
This is a great book for kids to read to help them understand about stress and some of the causes of it. It is well written and geared for children to understand. I liked that it not only discussed what can cause them (kids) stress, but also explains about the stresses parents face. It offers suggestions on how to deal with stress. We had our son read this book to us and would suggest that you too read it as a family. A good read for the whole family. Humorous illustrations.

My children loved it.......2006-12-02
My children found the book helpful and enjoyed reading it. The children have used the book to help them develop their skills, and have read the book over again on their own.
I have been pleased with the Moser series as it is an easy read book for children. Children can understand the concepts and apply them to their every day life. The kids gave the rating.
A Violent Book About Anti-Violence..........2006-07-19
While this book has good intentions, I found it to be the most violent book about anti-violence that I could imagine. The text is not so bad, but the illustrations gave me chills. I thought it couldn't get any worse (guns, knives, etc.), when I came to a page where a little boy was lying in a pool of blood hugging a teddy bear. In my opinion, this is not the kind of book that should be viewed by any child, let alone a child who needs a book about anti-violence.
Great.......2002-09-03
This 60-page picture book contains simple language easily read by first and second graders (on a par with Dr. Suess), to teach children why people are violent, and how they can avoid trouble. It is best suited for children up to about 10 or 11.
Much as we might like to, it's a mistake to teach children that no one ever hurts others, and Moser doesn't try. He starts by telling kids the truth--every day someone hits, kicks or shoots someone.
Why do people behave so violently? Sometimes, they do so because they want things that belong to others, or want to tell them what to do. Sometimes they are so angry they can't control themselves or they want attention.
Sometimes they have seen too much violence on TV, in movies or in video games, which can all make violence look and sound exciting. Children may think, "Wow, those things look like fun." They want to drive fast cars and smash them, learn how to fight and knock people down or get a gun and shoot it. They may even want to learn to make bombs and blow up buildings.
This book, published in 2001, may well have been written after September 11. The simple illustrations definitely suggest the terrible pain of that trauma, albeit in as non-threatening a way as possible. The story also explains that while it may be fun to watch people do violent things in movies, games and on TV, they are pretend. When the shows and games end, the actors go home.
But in real life, it is not fun to be threatened. People can be hurt by violence. They can really die. It's not fun to be in a car wreck, knocked around by a school yard bully or to have a gun aimed at you. Getting shot is not fun.
Violence is not new to the world, Moser explains. For thousands of years, people fought, using their fists, and their teeth, and later on, rocks, clubs, knives, spears, bows and arrows and finally guns.
None of these things are good or bad, the author explains. "They are simply tools." Guns and spears, bows and arrows can be good for hunting and knives may be used to cut meat and vegetables.
But sometimes people use tools as weapons. Robbers carry guns to steal from others, and sometimes kill.
People who do these things are a menace to themselves and others. Why would anyone want to be a menace? They shoot and kill other people, hurting the friends and families of their victims. Sometimes their victims are little children.
About 2/3 through, the author turns to 10 methods kids can use to deal with these problems. Some will help children shape their own attitudes towards violent individuals who can hurt themselves and others. Others concern how kids should consider violent games and TV and things they can do instead of watching or playing such things.
The tools offered here are sensible and should help children understand the dangers around them, how they can react responsibly to others' violent actions and how they might channel their own anger. Alyssa A. Lappen

Long before Civil Rights, the Tuskegee Airmen fought for equality. First they integrated the Armed Forces, then a whole nation and did it with competency, skill, valor, and courage in combating the enemy abroad and racism at home. Because they stood tall, African Americans and fellow Americans are the better for it. The book of over 500 pages also contains about 100 photos, an appendix full of documents, and an Index of 25 pages.

Valuable Material, Lousy Presentation.......2002-10-31
The World War II exploits of the 332nd Fighter Group--the first all-black unit in the US Army Air Forces--is a fascinating story on several levels. The pilots of the 332nd fought long and hard in the skies over North Africa, Italy, and Central Europe. They racked up an impressive record of enemy aircraft shot down, ground targets destroyed and--on the bomber-escort missions they often flew--friendly planes brought home safely. They also paved the way for the integration of the armed forces, and of American society generally, by showing that blacks could handle the stress of battle and the demands of high-performance airplanes just as well as whites. In a world where many (most?) whites saw blacks as innately inferior, the Tuskegee Airmen proved otherwise.
This book is a dense, detailed, information-packed history of the 332nd during and immediately after the war. It's a valuable source on a vital topic, and I'm glad it's out there.
That doesn't, however, make it a great book.
The style, for close to 400 pages, is choppy and unpolished with only a vague suggestion of a strong narrative line. Context is spotty at best, and technical terms sometimes go unexplained. The typography is idiosyncratic, and the inexplicable rendering of nicknames in italics and ranks, abbreviated, in ALL CAPS is distracting in a book where names come thick and fast. The type face itself is ugly, and the reproduction of many of the pictures is substandard. The index consists almost solely of personal names, which makes it intensely frustrating to use if you're not already intimately familiar with the story. To look up an incident in which two members of the 332nd sank a German destroyer, you have to know what their names were . . . no entry for "destroyer," or "strafing," or "naval vessels."
If there were other books out there that provide the sheer volume of facts about the subject that this one does, I'd give it about a star-and-a-half. There aren't, but there ought to be. The 332nd was noted for its professionalism; it deserves a more professionally-done history. Until that book gets written, though, this one (flaws and all) is essential.
Most enjoyable and most interesting!.......2000-02-14
In baseball, Jackie Robinson's impact can never be overstated. What he did for the game is immeasurable. In the world of aviation African Americans owe a debt of thanks to a group of men called "The Tuskegee Airmen". Their contributions to aviation are just as immeasurable.
Francis takes the reader back to the time when blacks in the army were living under Order 9981 from President Truman. Francis's gives you the triumphs and failures and brings it to life through each page. This read was truly remarkable.
This is the second book I have read on the Tuskegee Airmen, the first being a biography of Charles F. McGee, and for the second time I was moved by how this group of Officers and enlisted personnel worked through segregation to ensure the civil rights of those to follow.
Army life today, and the African American who serve with honor, can thank the men of this book for what they have. This nation owes a debt of thanks that can never be expressed enough. I am truly thankful to have had the opportunity to read this wonderful book.

The Unvarnished Truth.......2007-04-26
About 6 years ago I visited the White Eagle Conference Center in beautiful central New York. This is a quaint place that must have been a real marquee in its time. On one of their obviously long under used book shelves (seemed like nothing had been touched for at least 2 decades) I noticed this book, an original copyrighted 1932 version. I couldn't put it down. It presented a thoroughly well written, seminal treatment of the conflicts that senior leaders exhibit even today, a full 75 years later. It explained in vivid detail the deeply entrenched, inextricible human behavior that is observed consistently by senior leaders from organization to organization today. The plain and simple bottom line is that unless you're an insider, you're nothing more than overhead to be tolerated. The SEC was created by sheer necessity to protect the public. Businesmen 'talk' about how they care about other people but the unvarnished truth is that their friends and family are the only ones who matter. This book is great foundational work providing insight to the reasons why we need a strong SEC. The only thing that has changed in the human conditon is technology. The DNA that drives human behavior hasn't changed for thousands of years.
Dated Classic .......2004-12-07
"The Modern Corporation and Private Property" was hailed as an instant classic when it appeared in 1932. To my knowledge, it was the first book to spell out how modern corporate capitalism is characterized by pervasive oligopoly and the separation of management from ownership. These points are still valid today, and remind us that modern capitalism has little in common with the social system analyzed by Adam Smith and other Classical economists. However, most of "The Modern Corporation and Private Property" is taken up with an out-of-date, pre-SEC review of corporate finance law as it existed in 1930. As a result, the book will be of little interest to most modern readers, even though it is a "must" purchase for any serious library of books on economics or corporate governance.

The classic and definitive biography of Adolf Hitler.......2007-06-10
If you own only one biography of Adolf Hitler, this is the one to own. It covers his life from his birth, through the abusive years with his father, through the loss of his mother, his years years as a aspiring artist in Vienna, his service in the first world war, his joining and making the Nazi Party into a powerful political party, the beer hall putsch, his time in jail, his seizure of power, his iron fist rule over Germnay, the war and finally his death.
Very through, in-depth and its a pleasure to read for the chapters are broken into smaller sub-sections so you can read for 10-15 minutes or for hours if you want. Excellent biography of the sometimes genius, sometimes lucky and mostly insane fuhrer of Nazi Germany.
Hitler Defined.......2007-01-11
This is a must buy for history buffs and those fascinated by deranged leaders of other nations. Very Very in-depth. I would recommend this book to anyone.
Very well done.......2007-01-05
This book details the life of Hitler and seems very well researched. It is a long read though. I found that it took me several days to spend the time I needed to digest the information being provided.
The One Bio of Hitler to Have!.......2006-12-02
This is it, the real bio of Hitler. It is far and above the most thorough, most even-handed work on a very complex man. The "Hitler was a monster" works all try to turn this fascinating historical figure into a one-dimensional characature. Like it or not, Hitler was a person. If you want to find out about that person instead of reading a bunch of psychobabble above the "epitome of evil", read this book.
Best Book on Adolf Hitler, yet a better one could be written still........2006-09-15
I first read Toland's abridged paperback edition,in 1986.This book is the best researched work ,concerning the Hitler topic,written so far. From his Braunau childhood to his Vienna boheimian wanderings ,onto his WW1 return to a men's homeless shelter and until his shadowy Berlin bunker suicide;this book is painstakingly correct.Yet,i always wondered what hitler's true motives were for leading the Third Reich.How could the inner Nazi elite allow such a questionable character as Hitler,lead their new political party?The Nazis represented family values,yet Hitler was illegitimate and inbreed (uncle/niece off-sprung product).Hitler adored his niece,Gisella Ruebel.I believe Heinrich Himmler ordered her death,and staged it as a "suicide" ,out of of concerns for the "family image",of the Nazi party.Himmler was indeed the son of a chicken-farmer,yet he was also a college-schooled "eugenics technician".I saw Himmler as a "Bavarian communist",rather than a Hermann Goering ,"Bavarian Nationalist".Was Hitler really bent on destroying Germany,by spreading his armies too quickly,around the Eastern hemisphere?I believe if Hitler was killed,in a coup d'etat purging,Goering would have succeeded.Yet,after a fifty year succession of Nazi stalwarts,the dictatorship would have crumbled .Not because of liberal leftists overthrowing them,but because of "Globalisation".World population pressures would force the hinterland Germans to deal with other geo-cultures,via daily trade or outright warfare. As an inside look,of what went on in Hitler's life,this is an excellent book.Yet,many theories could be discussed about Hitler's social motives and the motives of the Nazi elite, with their thoughts about Hitler.
Customer Reviews:
Good advice but fails to address the real UC issues.......2003-07-29
This book attempts to take use cases to a higher level of science and in part succeed. Its plus points are discussions on management of use cases and the processes a team goes through in completing the creation / validation cycle. There's a lot of good sense here. Some of the patterns are useful. However, there's also a lot of regurgitation from various other texts and papers, some written by the authors themselves. And some key aspects are missing, aspects that are really important to industry and others that have concerned academia. Industry is not too worried about how to name use cases these days; that's easy. They want to be able to estimate how long it will take to build the system from use case points, for instance, or how to achieve forward traceability to the design and maintain traceability back to the requirements and business strategies (not the same thing exactly as the use case goal - which typically is not to stuff up and to make the principal actor happy). Academics are concerned too with effort estimation, with grammar and consistency checking, with dependencies and product lines, and non-functional requirements and whether use cases are at all to do with requirements in the first place and what they are no good for. Not whether we can build a little online booking web site - we can already do that. Though the book does not set out to answer these difficult questions, in its 200-odd pages, it ought to have, since this is what we really want to know about. So, though the book is excellent on what it does address, there's a lot of over kill in this. What's missing is what it does not address - all the hard problems we really need answers to.
The How, What and Why of Use Cases.......2002-12-22
Patterns for Effective Use cases is a must read if you need to develop for a software application. The authors describe what makes for a good use case, and make the points memorable with stories, and examples. If you have lots of experience writing use cases many of the patterns will cover things that you already know, but the way the patterns are presented make for an effective tool to help you teach others how to write a good use case. The pattern language format makes it clear that any single practice will not make for a good use case, you need to take a number together, otherwise you may have something that looks good at first glance, but just does not work.
I recommend this book for anyone who is learning to write use cases, or for experienced people who want a refesher course.
Deep Thought about Use Cases.......2002-11-25
The people who will be attracted to this book will be people who are really going to be involved in use case development, whether as actual writers, consulting engineers, subject matter experts, managers, or any other stakeholders in the process. Overall, I found the book to be well written, quite engaging, and, in the main portion where all the patterns are described, nicely organized to enable the reader to almost subconsciously understand how to navigate the pattern language. From a patterns perspective, the collection is more like a true pattern language than many other collections that make such claims and the interrelationships and movement through the language show that the authors did a great deal of work to make the language comprehensive while still keeping it lean. Although I am a veteran use case writer, in reading this text I learned many things that I wish I had known when I was in that practice. The authors have done a superb job at extracting what is the essence of good practice at all levels in developing use cases, and I think that the book could find a spot on many, many software professionals' shelves. Even more importantly, I think they would actually read it. In fact, I think they would study it. I know I did.
Overkill.......2002-11-16
The fact that this book describes a "pattern" named PreciseAndReadable should tell you what you need to know. If you need to be told that use cases should be precise and readable, or that you should name them with active verb phrases (VerbPhraseName), or that they should describe things of value to the business people (UserValuedTransactions), or that you should involve those people in the process of writing them (ParticipatingAudience), or that you should stop writing them when they make those people happy (QuittingTIme), you'll certainly get some value from this book, but it's clear evidence that your problems run considerably deeper than this book will be able to address.
This represents 25 pages of fundamentally simple content spread across 200 pages, and in a thoroughly pretentious manner to boot. Avoid.
A worthy companion to Cockburn's book.......2002-11-15
While Alistair Cockburn's "Writing Effective Use Cases" book is great for learning how to write use cases, this book takes it to the next level. It enables the reader to understand the issues that teams face when dealing with large numbers of use cases.
The authors cover the pragmatic issues that teams face, providing many real world examples and anecdotes. The pattern language is easy to read and apply on projects. The basic ideas of the pattern language are clearly expressed in the pattern names, for example, "Small Writing Team", "Participating Audience" and "Writers License". The summary on the inside cover provides a handy reminder for those times when you know you are making a mistake, but cannot quite remember the pitfall you are about to fall into.
A great book that I heartily recommend.

Book Description
The Emotional Impact Series...
The truth may be sacred, but many people--both children and adults--think lying is easier. Some people lie so often that it becomes a habit--a very bad habit--that reduces their own sense of self-esteem and makes others not trust them. In a clear and easy-to-understand narrative, Dr. Moser discusses the problems of lying and the importance of telling the truth. he offers thoughtful examples and suggests ways that can help children tell the truth. Dr. Moser's text is informative, entertaining, witty, and easy to read. David Melton's illustrations are outstanding. They are bright and clever, and often hilarious. Children are sure to love this book. parents are bound to appreciate its common-sense approach. And teachers and counselors will recognize this book as a valuable tool for affecting the lives of children in positive ways.

Why lying is silly.......2002-01-27
A pediatrician I knew often told parents that all children lie. It may be a learned behavior, but for some reason all kids learn to do it by the time they are two. The hard part is teaching them to unlearn.
This 61-page picture book contains simple language easily read by first and second graders (on a par with Dr. Suess), but its sophistication about children's propensity to lie will keep them coming back until they are approaching middle school.
The premise is simple: While everyone, even the author, has told some lies--"I'm late because my watch stopped, I did not spend my lunch money on candy"--most people need to tell the truth to feel good about themselves. People get along much better in life if they tell the truth.
The book explains that there a lot of different kinds of lies, and a lot of reasons that people tell them. "Some people can look at others, face to face and they can tell an enormous WHOPPER. But when others lie, their faces get red, and they have to turn to look away." People lie because they don't want to tell the truth, don't want to admit that they have done something wrong, prefer to blame others, think it will get them out of trouble. Lying, on the contrary, often gets people into even more trouble.
Some of Moser's books are funny. Not this one. But Moser does make even adults look silly when they lie. A car salesman looks ridiculous telling his customer "This car is in perfect condition." A politician, who promises, if elected, to raise only wages, but never to raise taxes, looks silly too. So does the kid who tells his friends that his uncle was an explorer before becoming an astronaut and a movie star.
Next, kids learn about why it's important not to lie. First, liars need good memories, so they can remember who they lied to and what they told them. Otherwise, they'll get confused and will soon be caught in their lies. Worrying about this makes some liars unable to eat or sleep. It even makes them worry that people will stop believing or lose respect for them. If people want respect and trust from others, Moser tells kids, "you must apologize for lying and tell the truth."
Telling the truth, he concludes, is "like ice skating--the more you do it, the easier it becomes." Once kids have digested this message, they tell the truth more often, and have every reason to feel proud. Alyssa A. Lappen
I reviewed this book and thought it was great........1999-07-17
Recently, I reviewed Don't Tell a Whopper on Fridays!, and Iwas impressed with Dr. Moser's hepful words and colorful, attention-catching illustrations. I had tried to keep copies of his earlier Emotional Impact Series books in my office waiting room, but they quickly disappeared. During the brief periods that the books from Dr. Moser's emotional Impact Series stayed in my waiting room, parents and children were always reading them before appiontments.They often wanted to discuss them in detail in my office.The popularity of Dr. Moser's books among my patients was amazing. I'd kept story books and children's magazines in my waiting room for years. They never disappeared, just Dr. Moser's books did. i no longer have a private practice , but I imagine that Don't Tell a Whopper on Friday! would myster vanish just as fast as Dr. Moser's other books.
