The Many Roads to Japan tells the story of the adventures of a
conscientious objector who had to follow many twists and turns in his
life journey before finding his niche in Japan. Suitable for low
intermediate level and above ESL students. An excellent resource for
peace education studies, too.
The various exercises at the end of every chapter are designed both
to provide a review of the most important information contained in the
chapters and to give practice in skimming for main ideas and scanning
for specific kinds of information. If done in class, the teacher should
use strict time limits to encourage the development of these important
reading skills. The discussion/essay questions are meant to involve
students personally in the story by asking them to respond to the
events in John's life and relate them to their own experiences.

It seems as though every day brings a new pill or potion claiming to restore mental alertness or improve memory. While many of these claims are based on factual information, many others are not. This encyclopedia of foods and drugs that are believed to improve mental performance contains information on nearly 400 nutrients, herbs, and drugs, ranging from ancient plant compounds to the latest pharmaceuticals. Entries are arranged by type of substance, such as foods, vitamins, minerals, spices, and medical drugs. Each entry contains information such as alternate names and forms, sources, results, side effects, precautions, and recommended dosage. Although readers are encouraged to consult with their doctors before diagnosing and treating themselves, this book provides crucial, factual, and unbiased information on the "miracle drugs" that many people believe can solve health problems from fatigue to Alzheimer's. Readers can discover for themselves the properties of each substance. A complete index allows for easy reference and help with alternate names, food and drug interactions, and symptoms.
In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can
be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with firefighters is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete.
This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about firefighters, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.
