Books : Manual of Ambulatory Pediatrics
the content is good, easy to read. i liked the fact that it's a paperback, easy to carry, and somewhat light but i found the wirebinding to keep snagging on different things in my bag. overall, a good resource to have.

Stephen Dunn is among the top 5 contemporary American poets--I would place him at the top. His poems are honest and powerful and impeccably crafted. I think he should be required reading, but then again I think no one should go out the door and about their business until they have spent some quiet minutes with some great poetry. Food for the soul.
His book of essays, Walking Light, is also brilliant.

Still enjoying the book...have read the first half of the book in one sitting and the mundaneness of life (having to go to work) has forced me to delay reading the rest...

ANyone who can write like this ...is a genius!

EMPTINESS

I've learned mine can't be filled,
only alchemized. Many times
it's become a paragraph or a page.
But usually I've hidden it,
not knowing until too late
how enormous it grows in its dark.

Needless to say this is the goal of a lifetime for modern poets; write a Pulitzer Prize winning collection of poems. For Dunn this is validation of a lifetime of effort; the ultimate credential in poetry. The wording and imagery is exquisite. Unfortunately, he like most poets is not well served by his art. His poetry offers little for those searching for the next step but he seems to say there is no next step. For Dunn the truth is bland, ordinary, and frightenly hopeless. Dunn suggests we are all heading towards an abysmal oblivion. Some say he has the courage to look at reality. I know him and I say he could use some prozac or a good dose of the real truth; the eternal peace within all of us. But hey, it's like finding a needle in a hey stack. Say hello Steve.

Very good, though really designed for a couple who already has a dog and is adding the baby. I was hoping to learn about having a baby and then getting the dog.

A college creative writing teacher first introduced me to this book in 1997 and I have loved to visit it over years. Dunn writes in a way that is distinctly personal, humorous, sincere, and sometimes brutally honest. He is a gifted storyteller who is able to weave writing advice effortlessly in with his tales. I would recommend my "favorite" chapters, but feel like this is a book best discovered without someone else's prejudices. This book can be read straight through from cover to cover, or the reader can skip around and read based on a chapter heading that catches his/her interest. Pick up this book and you'll want to seek out the rest of Dunn's writing.

I believe this is my first review for a book on Amazon. I have bought many books over the years and some were pretty good but none ever commanded a review from me. This book has and is everything I could ask for in a guide to Santa Monica. I almost didn't even consider this book because it had no reviews and I was unable to search inside the book. Luckily, I was able to search inside this book elsewhere on the internet and was pleased at what I saw.

I am planning on moving to Santa Monica later this year and from skimming this book, it has almost everything I ever wanted to know and then some. The authors have an unique way of creating a guidebook and I hope they get recognized for it because this is exactly how one should be written - from the locals point of view.
