The difference between a good toy and a great one is the ability to entertain — and instruct — a child at the same time. The author, a woodworker with a graduate degree in Curriculum and Instructional Materials, combines his skills to show parents which toys are most effective for early childhood education, and then he gives them all the information they need to build those toys themselves. Nine fun projects — from Pattern Blocks and Dominos to a Puzzle Train — will get little ones learning — without them even realizing it! Over 200 color photos and drawings are included.

Simple, functional…and just plain fun: that describes the 12 projects in this collection of classic wood toys. The projects featured here include dump trucks, a tow truck, a flatbed, a semi, a cement truck, logging trucks…you name it. There’s a project for every woodworker -- and hours of imaginative play for the lucky kids who will get the trucks once they’re made. These designs are varied and durable enough for kids who play hard. Included are more than 300 photos and illustrations, and the projects have working parts -- from winches to rolling wheels.

Are you separated from someone you love: mother, father, sister, brother, wife, husband, child, friend, pet? Separated from a career you love? Separated from a home you love? Separated from the life you thought would continue on the road you were traveling? If you are, then you are dealing with grief. Grief is the sorrow and suffering that must be walked THROUGH by everyone who has experienced a loss. The walk is characterized by alone-ness (no one can do it for you), timelessness (there are no short-cuts but there may be detours), and darkness (each path is unique to that person). Th

Though she called herself "just a singer," soprano Lois Marshall (1925-1997) became a household name across Canada during her thirty-four year career, and remains one of the foremost figures in the history of Canadian music. She rubbed shoulders with Canada’s musical aristocracy - Glenn Gould, Sir Ernest MacMillan, Jon Vickers, Maureen Forrester - but Lois Marshall always held first place in the hearts of her adoring fans. At the height of the cold war, Moscow and St. Petersburg embraced her as warmly as Canada had done. Yet Lois remained true to her Canadian roots, and to Toronto, her l

Henry E. Neufeld writes about Bible translations from his knowledge as a student of Biblical languages, and his experience teaching them to laypeople and discussing them on the internet. Many people have questions about translations because they do not understand how translations are produced. Much of the material available is either polarizing, or is provided to advocate a particular version. What’s in a Version? strives to provide a basis for lay students to understand how translations are made so they can understand the arguments and become confident of the Bible version they cho
