From the author: A review of the literature was conducted for articles published between 1975 and 2007 on the application of time delay as an instructional procedure to teach word and picture recognition to students with severe developmental disabilities in an effort to evaluate time delay as an evidence-based practice. A total of 30 experiments were analyzed using quality indicators for single-subject design research. In general, we found that time delay was an evidence-based practice for teaching picture and sight word recognition supported by standards for evidence-based practice proposed by Horner et al. (2005). We discuss lessons learned in summarizing a body of literature to define an evidence-based practice and suggestions for better defining the practice.

An unexpected, wonderful collection of original stories
Stars deserves ongoing mention as an extraordinary collection of science fiction inspired by the music of folk singer Janis Ian. Janis invited respected authors in the genre to contribute works influenced by her songs: the result is an unexpected, wonderful collection of original stories - based on her music, but no prior familiarity with Ian is required in order to enjoy these varied tales.

Worth every penny!
Having heard some of Janis Ians work I thought it interesting that people would be so drawn to her lyrics to write stories about them.I bought the book not knowing what to expect and have been thrilled with what I read.I really think it was worth every penny and made sitting on the beach in Hawaii recently even better than I ever thought it could be!

Amazing, just amazing!
The list of authors is exemplary. The list of songs is exemplary. That Janis Ian and Mike Resnick could bring together authors of this stature, meld them to the songs, and come up with 30 astonishing stories based on those songs, is more than I can handle!I read it cover to cover, and plan to read it again and again. Robert Silverberg's "Legends" was pretty terrific, but it didn't sit on the cutting edge.It was too safe.This is the closest thing to "Dangerous Visions" I've found. A "Dangerous Visions" for my own generation!

made a believer outa me!
I have never been much of a fan of SciFi, nor a reader of short stories. I am, however a fan of Janis Ians Music. So buying this book was a must for me.
However, I felt it would be very easy to be dissapointed with what other writers did with the songs I love so much. I need not have worried. The stories are all very different in how I see the songs, but often addinteresting insights that I would never have thought of.
Most of the stories have a strong moral base, and provoke thought about the world we live in.
I enjoyed this book from cover to cover......and can't wait to explore the writing of the various authors.
Favourite Story......"EJ-ES", based on "Jesse", buttomorrow, could be another one!!!

Defining Musical Terms
A great source of musical terms in a small volume. We expected much and got more.

Great resource for musicians
This book is a valuable resource for any musician to have. It is a comprehensive collection of musical terms in a small size that is handy to store or take along with you.I have had a copy of this book since 1966. My earlier edition is even a smaller size than this current edition(I prefer the smaller size).But I am thrilled to give these books to my more serious piano students.

The best of its' kind
A great resource for the musician or music lover. Much is packed into this small book. As a music educator myself of 30+ years, I really don't see what the big deal is about how it has "PC" content. I buy it for all my private music students as they graduate and move on into music. My own copy (3rd edition) is quite dog eared!

Excellent portable resource
While a pocket dictionary of this sort will never place The Harvard Dictionary of Music, it is the best portable music dictionary that I have found. I recommend it to my private students as something that should accompany them to the practice room.

Pocket Manual ofMusical Terms by Baker et al.
Overall, this is a good work. It defines many important terms
in simple english. The work will serve anyone learning a
piece of music for the first time while struggling through
new terms and precise terminology set forth in musical score-
particularly classical music. Try on some of these terms for
size-aufgeweckt,assai,cornonetc. You can see why a
pocket-manual is a necessity. Professional students or those
pursuing a music degree will find this work most valuable.
Performers should utilize this book in official competitions
because judges review the score very carefully and apply
the composer's notations quite literally. ... Read more

Product Description
Born in 1821, Mary Baker Eddy rose from unremarkable, indeed unfortunate, beginnings -- a sickly New Hampshire farm girl all too accustomed to the illness and death of loved ones -- to become, early in the twentieth century, a household name across America, and famous around the world. In this groundbreaking biography, Robert Thomas brilliantly employs his training in both history and psychoanalysis and, for a non -- Christian Scientist, his unprecedented access to Church archives to illuminate the psychological and social circumstances that led to Eddy's founding of a major religious movement.

Thomas begins by revealing in full the family tragedies that deeply affected, almost overwhelmed, the young girl, and shaped in her an awareness of the limited ability of traditional institutions to alleviate suffering. He casts new light on her conflicted relationships with her severely Calvinist father and her loving -- but demanding -- mother, on her inability to "mother" her own son, and on her involvement in such movements and fads of the period as spiritualism, homeopathy, the Graham diet, and water cures. He helps us understand the patterns in her life and how it came to be that a fall on ice when she was forty-five precipitated a life-changing religious experience that ultimately led to the establishment of the Church of Christ, Scientist.

Thomas helps us to know Mary Baker Eddy from within her own spiritual frame of reference, and also to see what made her message so persuasive to others. Through a close study of her early writings, he makes it unmistakably clear for the first time that she was a woman of strikingly original, searching, and probing mind -- not the plagiarist some have alleged her to be. He analyzes Eddy's explanation of the existence of evil in her theory of "malicious animal magnetism," and he discusses her ideas about the nature of spiritual prophecy, and the role of dreams and visions. Through the stories of Church members -- including many who knew her personally -- Thomas examines her relationships with her followers, and he shows us the complexities, inconsistencies, and ambiguities of her personality, as well as the richness and depth of her character.

Throughout this study, we are able to see Mary Baker Eddy in the context of her late-Victorian world, and we see the ways in which her life and movement reaffirmed America's most cherished Protestant middle-class values and myths while at the same time directly challenging and disturbing the conventional thought of her time. ...

An apology indeed
I was raised in Christian Science, but the historical Mrs. Eddy only became fascinating to me when I finally discovered that the glowing image portrayed in church literature was largely mythological.Her life story is particularly interesting now that the Christian Science Church is once again attempting to widen its appeal.
A friend recommended this book to me as exposing some of the Eddy mythology using heretofor "classified" material from church archives.What I found instead was a sometimes interesting attempt to analyse Mrs. Eddy's persona and life in psychological, but often apologetic terms.While he obviously wants to be seen as an impartial biographer, he often left me feeling that he wasn't telling the whole story.Indeed, what I found most troubling in his narrative were the many gaping holes, not only in terms of chronology, but of historical criticism.For example, we never really learn how Mrs. Eddy and her organization developed rapidly in the 1880's from a small group into a national organization, and how this related to a fundamental criticism of her character: that Christian Science evolved into a money-making enterprise that was frequently at odds with her purported metaphysical world-view. Thomas often leaves the reader unaware of some very controversial aspects of her career by making the situation seem innocuous.For example, her establishment of the "Massachusetts Metaphysical College", he says, was "to give her teachings a firmer structure and more respectability in the community" and "her graduates took away a diploma from a state-chartered school".He doesn't mention that this "charter" was under an ill-conceived state law that allowed virtually any diploma mill to exist, and that the school primarily existed to make money and create more demand, with her as the only faculty member.He glosses over the contributions of Rev. James Wiggin in virtually re-writing Science and Health by referring to his work as merely smoothing over "rough edges", and dismisses Wiggin's criticism of her educational and literary shortcomings by accusing him of of being a "lapsed Unitarian minister" who had "gender anxieties" in his capacity as a nineteenth century man in a woman's employ.Mrs. Eddy's at times paranoid obsession with "malicious animal magnetism" is rather benignly explained as due to her being "acutely sensitive to a form of interpersonal interaction that is largely unconscious..." and stemming from an "intricate web of relationships" going back to childhood.
I would still recommend this book as having valuable material, and as worth reading for some interesting insights into aspects of Mrs. Eddy's psychological make-up.However, any reader who stops here is likely to come away with a very incomplete and even fuzzy picture of the woman, her psychological motives, her many questionable claims, as well as the many vagaries of her early movement. I would therefore recommend that you get your hands on other, more critical histories, particularly Edwin Franden Dakin's "Mrs. Eddy, the Biography of a Virginal Mind" - out of print, but available.While Dakin's book has it's own shortcomings, including occasional use of a not well-documented "omniscient narration", the historical narrative and especially the motives for many of the more sensational events of Mrs. Eddy's life, are, overall, presented much more coherently.Thomas would have done well, if he had issues with this much more critical view of Mrs. Eddy, to refute in detail the charges made by Dakin and others, instead of, to a large extent, dismissing them.

Not a critique, but an apology.
This book is supposed to be a psychoanalytic study of Mary Baker Eddy. It is anything but that.

The authors appear to be non-Christian Scientists have looked into Christian Science and decided that it is the correct explanation of Jesus's works and teachings. Although this book offers some wonderful intellectual insights into Mrs. Eddy's life and career, it is far more praiseworthy than antagonistic.

Strongly recommended, whether or not you're a Christian Scientist.

Thomas is simply a genius
I am one of relatively few people who have had the enormous privelige of being taught by Robert Thomas - "Doc Thomas", as he was universally known.He is a man with an extraordinary and profound intellect, and an unparalleled ability to illuminate complex and intricate issues.If you desire an intellectual thrill, buy the book.Better still would be to take a class from him, an experience which in the course of nine months taught me how to think and write.He could sell tickets to his dissection of Dr. Strangelove.It was truly that fascinating.

Doc, if you read this, I want to say now that you are unequivocally the most brilliant, effective and entertaining teacher I have ever had the privelige of learning from.You have taught me more than any person ever has, and given to me the art of analysis.Thank you, thank you, thank you.My only regret is that you didn't stay one more year.I know dozens of us would have been lining up for Am Cult, myself included.

-David (no, not Big Hands who forgot his notes for the final)

disappointing
Thomas was given access to the church archives when researching this book, but then he was denied permission to quote from anything he read there.(At least according to a letter the author published later in response toan unfavorable review--Thomas ought to have clarified this issue in hispreface to the book.)

The result is a book full of broad claims restingprecariously on slender evidence.Thomas' overly vague descriptions ofarchival material cannot support his conclusions.

If you're interested inlearning more about Eddy (as opposed to learning more about what Thomas*thinks* about Eddy based on secret information), don't waste your money onthis book.

A MUST!READS BETTER THAN ANY NOVEL!
