In 1981 Dr Jean Lintermans published, with Dr van Dorp, a superb vol ume, 'Differential Diagnosis in Pediatric Echocardiography'. It was 'state of the art' with a unique organization, starting with M-mode echocardiograph ic findings rather than the disease category, and included a segmental approach to diagnosis, and concluded with an invaluable section on normal echocardiographic values. This volume was a great help to many of us in pediatric cardiology who were discovering the great clinical value of the noninvasive approach to diagnosis. This gave us a 'running start' for our own entry into the field. At that time, the 2 D or sector echocardiogram was finding increasing usefulness and there were several illustrations of this tech nique, integrated into that volume. Since 1980, the field of 2 D echocardiography has grown enormously in its usefulness, to the point that it has reduced the need for invasive studies, and has enhanced the precision of invasive studies when required. It is now time for a systematic and thorough approach to this field, and I am delighted that Jean Lintermans has provided us with this book. The pictures are uniformly superb and are very well labelled. The organization is cen tered around diagnostic categories, but the same attention to detail is pre sent that made the first volume so useful. I particularly value the extensive documentation of diagnostic findings, with numerous literature citations.
"J. P. Bone's novel ILLEGALS is a rarity in contemporary literature - a story which boldly and vividly presents a piece of contemporary history, told through characters who cannot fail to move you with their anguish and their courage. I am reminded of Upton Sinclair and John Steinbeck, who did not hesitate to confront the most urgent issues of their day through their fiction. ILLEGALS is a political novel that touches the heart. I hope it is widely read." Howard Zinn, Historian, author of A People's History of the United States "ILLEGALS is a rare uplifting literary work. It cites chapter and verse the details of the exploitation of working people from Latin America by the corporate colossus up north. It paints a bleak picture of immigrants' plight, yet offers inspiring hope for those who dare to work together in solidarity." Studs Terkel, Pulitzer Prize Winning author, historian "J. P. Bone has not only produced a novel worthy of reading on its literary merits, but his ILLEGALS is also an extraordinary story which captures the human drama of the everyday struggles experienced by Latino immigrants in their quest for survival and social justice." Carlos Mu oz, Jr. Professor Emeritus, U. C. Berkeley "ILLEGALS is, in a way, everyone's story. As a nation of immigrants, most of our families had to find a way, by hook or crook, to get into this country. It wasn't always pretty. Most have forgotten how it was that we happened to be Americans in the first place. A book like this reminds us that the struggle to enjoy the 'freedom' promised in America is exactly just that - still a struggle, still not available to all. I encourage you to read ILLEGALS not just for its powerful commentary, but because it's a damn good read " Michael Moore, Academy award winning director, author "J. P. Bone proves that where there is a will there is a way and that in the midst of pain, struggle, and sacrifice, no human should be 'illegal.'" Jesse "Chuy" Varela "This moving and intimate story drawn from personal accounts takes you to the heart of the struggles of people fleeing Latin America. By following them with powerful empathy through burning sun, terror and courageous battles to survive, this novel should change forever the way we look at immigrants from south of the border." Bob Schildgen, Author of Hey Mr. Green and Toyohiko Kagawa, a bigraphy of a Japanese reformer. The first edition of ILLEGALS by J. P. Bone, was published in 1996.The author made many important revisions to ILLEGALS in 2012, and again in 2014. The new second edition includes those revisions.
How to Be Happy EVERYDAY

He scored off the chart on every objective measurement tested. As Charlie Brown and the ""Peanuts"" gang told us, happiness could be a warm puppy, pizza with sausage, five different crayons - or anyone, or anything, that's loved by you. And, although it's true that many special moments are inspired by such happenstance, scientific research contends that people actually can condition themselves for genuine happiness, much as occasional joggers condition themselves for marathons. Truly happy people are able to, for example, recall special moments and use them as psychological tools to deal with adversity. And that's just one of many skills they tap into to ensure a high level of satisfaction in their lives. So why is this important? Because it's clear that happiness is a key contributor to our overall personal health - it's even been linked to longevity, scientific studies show. With that in mind, USA WEEKEND Magazine hatched what they called the Ultimate Happiness Challenge: Why not pair the world's leading authority on happiness with America's happiest person and see if their expert can make him even happier? Or, on a more scientific level: How can the leading expert apply his core principles to boost the happiness quotient for someone who's already as happy as a person gets? Explore the happiest man in America's state of contentedness and, as a result, discover ways we all can better cultivate happiness in our lives. As for the happiest man in America, J.P. ""Gus"" Godsey, he's a story in himself.
Honor hurts...all the time. The doctors say she's fine - it's all in her head. But Honor feels pain. What she doesn't know is...it's not her pain- it's everyone else's. Seventeen year-old Honor Stevens is not an ordinary teenager. She can feel other people's pain. What she doesn't know is what Ethan Sutherland comes to town to tell her - she can save these people. But at what cost? For every life Honor saves, she knocks years off her own. When Ethan comes looking for her, he isn't counting on falling in love. Now that he has, he wishes he hadn't told her about her abilities. Though he tries his best to talk her out of saving every soul, Ethan loses the battle - Honor's too nice for her own good. Then there's the matter of Ethan's estranged, morally corrupt half-brother, Storm - he loves Honor too. And because Honor is intrinsically empathic, she's aware of Storm's softer side and begins falling for him as well. Who will Honor choose?
With sufficient scheming & force of will, the unthinkable becomes the inevitable. Marked for death by the Black Guild, King Barrison's lords scramble to see him protected.

War, plain and simple, although the resulting conflict is anything but. From gargantuan scale-suspended land-masses to leagues of caravan paths across plateaus and passes, Brisance crumbles into disarray and a single name is whispered on the lips of many: Dignaaln, emissary.

Tragedy rarely visits alone; when one hero falls, more usually follow, such is the nature of war. Whilst Cheung travels Brisance and the Black Guild tears itself apart, Correia Burr rides for The Marches with her trusted Pathfinders, in search of an enemy they know nothing about. But when her network of informers yield little, Correia makes a necessary decision to lead her closest companions beyond Altoln's borders, into Sirreta and the unknown. What they find forces Correia back, and on again, in a race to Wesson, leaving far more than her friends behind. Throughout it all: massing armies, shocking betrayals and devastating, heart-breaking losses, a familiar name continues to be whispered on the lips of many: Dignaaln, emissary.

The Forgotten Shore is a fascinating volume of poetry, and according to the author, represents a kind of "archaeology of emotions" to be excavated and explored. At times, the language is difficult and confounding, as J. P. Linstroth often references Greek mythology and archaic speech. Yet, there is something profound about his poetry that draws the reader toward an inextricable communion with his personal emotions and his unique observations of the world. Somehow, there is something akin to Seamus Heaney in Linstroth's abstract poetic style and his linguistic fecundity. His poetry is at once challenging but also accessible. In all, it is a book of poetry to be cherished and read--and then read again.--Dr. Paul Gibbard, Senior Lecturer European Languages and Studies, The University of Western Australia

Does she confess her love or go quietly across the sea?
