Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In verse, rhyme and original art, Incomplete Ignorance at Play demonstrates the author's incomplete ignorance of the many subjects this poem addresses. It is divided into three books - Emergence, Divergence and Convergence - where topics from the Big Bang to Hiroshima are playfully written in verse and rhyme to inspire the imagination of the reader. Original art is employed so participants can juxtapose the art with the verse and perhaps be inspired to think thoughts and dream dreams far beyond any the author and artist might imagine. The poem is best read out loud and slowly. Take your time Sometimes it is funny, but sometimes the topics are a bit too serious to be amusing. Gustafson, Paula L (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Fairly Odd Mother: Musings of a Slightly Off Southern Mom is award-winning journalist Kelly Kazek's skewed and hilarious view of various aspects of life, from raising a daughter as a single mom to life in a small town to popular culture . I felt I had a lot of wisdom to impart to my daughter, like Never let a man see you put on control top panty hose (or for that matter, take them off. Someone could get hurt.) - from the column Moms get dumber as teens age The idea of drinking a bovine pee cola gives a whole new meaning to those old Peter Frampton lyrics, 'I'm in you, urine me.' At least I think that's how they went. Plus, it makes you give those Red Bull ingredients a second glance. -from the column Try an ice cold Cow-ca Cola Guys, at this point have likely picked up on the more obvious (to guys) mystery in this whole incident: Where does a naked woman put $40,000 in jewelry.? (Pause while we all ponder this.) .and if this man was paying $100 per hour to have a naked woman in his house, why wasn't he watching her? I imagine to some, this would seem wasteful. - from the column Nude maid strips man of self respect What readers are saying . Kelly Kazek has a most delightful writing style and a wry sense of humor - Jim G., Phoenix, Arizona I've never written to a newspaper colunist before but I had to write to tell you how much I enjoyed your column. Rarely does anything make me laugh out loud but your column did - Martha C. Leeds, Alabama I burst out laughing several times - Linda S. Whiting, New Jersey If a new column's not there by Monday, I start to get the shakes. - Michael P., Milledgeville, Ga.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Mending Children's Broken Hearts is a collection of the thoughts and experiences of Grace S. Wolff, a respected innovative pediatric cardiologist. The subject matter is daunting--Grace devoted her career to the care of severely ill children. Yet Grace's stories are shot through with an almost miraculous compassion. She trusted, and she teaches the reader to trust, that there is a thread of hope and wonder even in the worst misfortune. The book stands as a tribute to Grace, to preserve and share her conviction that patient care should be built from the recognition of each patient as an individual human being. It should be useful to patients, medical professionals, and caregivers, as a source of solace and wisdom. About the Author Armando I. Perez, Ph.D., husband of the late Grace S. Wolff, M.D., was born in Havana, Cuba. Soon after the Revolution, he immigrated with his family to Spain and from there to the United States. In his career he was an environmental engineer and urban planner, and served in numerous societies and committees--most notably as Chair of the Urban Planning and Development Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, from which he received the Harland Bartholomew National Urban Planning Award. Before he retired, he was a vice president with the international consulting firm CDM Smith Inc. Dr. Perez spends his retirement playing the alto saxophone, learning French and Italian, and participating in book clubs and church activities. He divides the year between his home in Coral Gables, Florida, and his vacation cabin in the Adirondacks of New York. Perhaps the greatest challenge of his life was to provide care for his beloved Grace when she contracted ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Grace fought the disease as forcefully as she had toiled on behalf of her patients, but she succumbed in July 2015. He wrote this book in her honor. The author has arranged for his portion of the proceeds to be given to the Pediatric Cardiology Research Fund of the Medical College of Wisconsin, from which Grace graduated.…
