A good beginning for the study of health
I am studying to be a certified nutritionist and this is the textbook for my first class.I have found this book to be very thorough, yet consise and to the point. The information is pertinent and up-to-date. The authors take a holistic approach and the book covers diet, healthy lifestyle choices, emotional health and well being, as well as important information on body functions.It isn't overly technical (which is nice for a beginner) but provides enough detail. I recommend it as an introduction to learning about nutrition or health. ... Read more

Will & Grace Season 7
The product was in excellent shape when it arrived.My daughter loved the TV show.So this was her birthday present.

Barbara
The item was great and I couldn't have found it cheaper than what I did. It was packed perfectly and very fast shipping. I highly recommed this seller.

Annoying
Maybe this show appeals to some people, but to me the characters seem like a bunch of annoying, whiny retards. I can't stand the voices of the main actors - two of them shriek rather than talk. Rather than provide comedy that everybody can enjoy, Will & Grace revolves around cliches and gay sex jokes. Debra Messing is the only salvation in the show, but she's not enough to save bad comedy.

Love this show!!!
The inteligent comedy is just fabulous!
So sad that it's over :( They should have done 20 more seasons! At least! LOL
I love how the DVD is set so you can view all the episodes one after the other.
I own the whole collection and am very happy with it.

Product Description
IT BEGAN WITH ONE ABUSED CHILD . . .


A Little Girl's Terror:

By April of 1987, nine-year-old Mary Ellen Wilson had been beaten, cut, and burned by her foster mother for more than seven years.She had never once been allowed outdoors, her keeper locking her inside a tiny, dark closet while she was away.In the coldest New York winters, the child slept on a piece of carpet on the floor, only a threadbare quilt to warm her.

A Caring Woman's Determination:

When a concerned social worker named Etta Wheeler learned of the child's plight, she made appeals to the police, church, and the courts, but with no success."Don't interfere between parent and child," they said.While others may have given up, Etta was determined to help little Mary Ellen.

An Unlikely Hero For An Abused Child:

In a desperate last resort, Etta went to Henry Bergh of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).Would this man who was so kind to animals help?Surely the child had the same rights as a defenseless, abused creature.Bergh heard Etta's story, and the events that followed forever changed the course of child protection in America.

Forgotten for over a century, Shelman and Lazoritz bring the story of "Little Mary Ellen" to light for the first time since it appeared in the pages of the New York Times, the Brooklyn Eagle, and the New York Tribune in 1874.

Amazon.com Review
Conventional child rearing in the wake of the Civil War could be aptly described as "spare the rod and spoil the child." Like slaves in the previous era, children were considered property, with no more rights than horses or dogs. With luck they were cared for and loved. Orphaned and raised in devastating poverty, young Mary Ellen Wilson was not so lucky. Out of the Darkness vividly details Mary Ellen's life as a captive in her Hell's Kitchen tenement. Left alone during the day to find her own playthings--a few strings and a pet spider named "Timmy"--the situation only became worse when her mother returned home to administer shockingly brutal daily beatings. More than a chronicle of one child's abuse, however, Out of the Darkness also documents her rescue--including the key role of the newly created American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. By drawing parallels between animal rights, Mary Ellen's case, and the end of slavery, Out of the Darkness illustrates how the end of the Civil War ushered in a profound shift in attitude--an acceptance that all living beings are capable of suffering and therefore deserve protection. This is a riveting read about a fascinating period. --Ginger Dzerk ... Read more

Gripping and Emotional - Superb Writing
Excellent writing by author, Eric Shelman, as he brings Mary Ellen's years of suffering and abuse to light. The story, although heartbreaking, is well worth reading. Child abuse is a national epidemic, and even though the subject is swept under the rug by most, it does exist daily for so many. I highly recommend this book, and after reading it, tell your friends about it. "Out of the Darkness," is a page-turner as Shelman takes his readers on an unforgettable, emotional journey.

An eye-opener
This book shows that even though we don't live in a perfect world and children still slip through the cracks, we've come a long way with regard to protecting children.This is an excellent book.

Out Of The Darkness: The Story Of Mary Ellen Wilson
I was very pleased with the depth of this book.The amount of work and research that was done is obvious.This book is intense, with an active imagination you can almost feel the pain and horror this child endured. Excellent job of writing with a presentation that is unique.(Special note to Eric) Thank you for writing this book. Sylvia Baker, CRNI

READ THIS BOOK!!!
This book is a book that anyone who is considering a career in any type of child services needs to read. I myself am going into social services and this book made me realize what I will be seeing on a daily basis. Mary Ellen was such a brave little girl and I applaud her for surviving her early life!
