A Book Review of Kate, the Ghost Dog - Coping With the Death of a Pet - Author Wayne L Wilson

In Kate, the Ghost Dog: Coping With the Death of a Pet, Wayne L. Wilson delicately weaves the threads of family support into a fabric of love and understanding to help a young girl cope with the loss of her beloved pet.What is noticeably apparent is the way in which the book deals with the maturing feelings of a young girl becoming a young adult. Every child feels at times isolation and when some disappointment occurs the need to reach out to other family members is weighed against the desire to be left alone to deal with the personal loss. It is the breaking down of the personal barrier and opening the young girl's feelings with the loving support of a functional family which is most enjoyable and well achieved in Wilson's writings. The book, by design, shows others how to open themselves to the loving support of their family, and is a model for all types of losses, whether a pet or even a family member.Beautifully illustrated by Soud, the book is gilded with just the right
amount of imagery. Not too much to make it an overpowering picture book, and done with a style incorporating little tidbits and type style highlights. The book is a pleasure to the eyes and an easy, fast read. It certainly made me think of the loss I had with a pet awhile ago, and gives an uplifting message.I recommend this for all family libraries and elementary schools. This book can be a gift to ones who recently suffered a loss of a pet or to ones that currently love a pet, enabling them to appreciate the days they have together. It shows that a pet's love stays with a person forever.Title: Kate, the Ghost Dog: Coping With the Death of a PetAuthor: Wayne L. Wilson

The Winners of the Game - The Most Ambitious Amongst Us Considered

Being one with ambition, winning and perseverance, I often enjoy reading about others in other lines of work who have indeed made their marks through hard work, stick-to-it-ness and commitment to their concepts, ideas and innovations. Then there are others who fly to the top of human endeavors as corporate leaders and they often seem to be a different breed, but also have the strong desires to win. To illustrate the second type of ambitious man, I think I can recommend that you get acquainted with this book:"Ambitious Men - their Drives, Dreams and Delusions" by Srully Blotnick. 1987.This author is also the writer of the popular work; "The Corporate Steeplechase" which indeed, sold millions of copies. Although, this book somewhat irks me, it does point out many examples and observations that I, myself have noticed out in the business world, high-society and circles of king-makers, corporate image trickery constants and those who pander to the unearned ego of the super ambitio
us men. Many are quite fake under it all, while you may or may not agree that book is very much worthy of your time to read and consider.Some of the book suffers from the same delusions that the author accuses superstars of humanity or those ambitious men of. To that specific point, well, I would say, I challenge the author to explain to me, what they have done other than merely written about it. Ever stood in an ambitious man's shoes? Perhaps not, yet the writer peaks into the sexual lives, businesses and personal minds of these men, without remorse, as if a super star of psychology himself. I would like to buy him a mirror, and yet to his credit, I would say in the book he got, well 3/4 of it right. So, for that reason I recommend it, as I have his other book in the past.

Working Women, Heart Attacks and Stress - Beyond Chaos Considered

Did you know that statistics now prove women are just as likely as men to have heart attacks? How can this be you ask, as men have always been the ones who have had to worry about a heart attack. The answer to that question is one of stress amongst working women.Often women have to worry about many more things than men do. And working women have to worry about their job, the family and being a mother, which is a triple whammy. It is important now more than ever for women to reduce their stress and eliminate some of the chaos. But what sort of relief is there for the working woman that is put under tremendous pressure every day? Not much, say some psychologists and career guidance counselors. Somehow the women are able to function in a fast pace society and hostile working environment and still outperform their male counterparts in most cases. However like all humans, women are subject to the same health conditions that long-term stress can cause. If you are a w
orking woman, own your own business or run a company as the CEO, then I would like to recommend a very good book to you; "Beyond Chaos; Stress Relief for the Working Woman" by Sheila West (forward by Zig Ziglar); Navpress Publishers; Colorado Springs, CO; 1991 This book will help you in a number of ways including setting up a special plan to reduce your stress and to understand what stress is. The author will help you learn how to turn that stress into a positive rather than a negative that might affect your health. Sheila West assures the working woman that she can stay on the competitive edge, alleviate the bad stress and save their health and long-term risk of a heart attack. I hope you'll read this book.
