This book is a good starting point for parents of a child with ODD. The book is easy to read and offers lots of useful advice. Some of the suggestions are vague, however and I take exception to the idea that seeking counselling should be a "last resort."

I have no idea who this "author" is. Not only is the content juvenile, self evident, and repetitive, the writing is appalling. It is more like a bad blog post, one which I don’t think would get much following. A complete waste of money.

This book is very practical and has a lot of great advice. Be warned, however, that it would be important to read the entire book before implementing some of the methods outlined in the stories. The authors goes on to give sound advice on how to handle conflicts and tough situations that can become daily battles at home and school. Along the wonderful help of our family counselor, this book has made a real difference in helping us to regain control of our own home. Joseph Stenson does a remarkable job of giving parents a glimpse of the mistaken ideas that guide the behavior of defiant children. Hopefully, parents will stop blaming themselves and recognize that these children act out due to their distorted sense of reality. I was surprised to learn some things I never knew even though I am an experienced parent. The book is easy to read and understand and I love the real life examples the author gives.

Although this book is not a cure-all, it certainly is required reading for all that are dealing with this devastating problem.

Review

‘Don’t leave home without STREETWISE.’ —The New York Times

‘STREETWISE is an absolute travel essential.’ —Travel + Leisure Magazine

‘In a strange city, your sense of direction is only as good as the map in your hands. The best maps to carry are published by STREETWISE.’ —Chicago Daily Herald

About the Author

STREETWISE® is the first map to be designed with modern graphics and is the originator of the laminated, accordion-fold map format. We’ve set the standard that every map company has imitated but never duplicated. Our mission is to make you feel comfortable, to make you feel safe in a place where you’ve never been before and to enable you to experience a familiar place more fully.

The company was founded in 1984 by Michael Brown, who had been in international publishing for many years, setting up subsidiaries for textbook publishers. In the 1970’s, Brown traveled extensively throughout Africa, India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Brown would take a large paper map, cut out the city center, folded it up and slip it into his pocket, thus preventing him from looking like a tourist in areas where discretion is the better part of travel. This was his tool for surviving.

After many years on the road, Brown settled back in New York and decided to start his own business, based on the adaptations he had made to maps in his travels. His goal was to give someone the ability to navigate easily in unfamiliar terrain.

He started with a new map format: the accordion fold. Such a simple idea, but at the time it was revolutionary. No more struggling to fold an awkward, oversized paper map. This new format would enable the user to blend in like a native, instead of stick out like a tourist. Brown then added lamination to ensure that the map would be a lasting tool.

More important than the format was the design of the map itself. It had to be a map that not only succeeded above and beyond any map he had used, but was esthetically appealing as well. The look of it had to be as striking as the functionality. Color was introduced in a way that was never seen before in a map – vivid purple for water, soothing gray for the background of street grids, gold to highlight elements of the map. Clarity, conciseness and convenience in a very stylish package.

Building the business was a 24 hour job. Brown sold the maps during the day, zipping around Manhattan making deliveries on his Harley Davidson. At night he packed the orders and did the design work. More titles were added, each title requiring months of research and design.

Today, STREETWISE® produces over 130 titles for major destinations, regions and countries throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom and Asia. We have grown from the back of a motorcycle to selling millions of maps around the world.

Yet each title is still painstakingly researched and updated. STREETWISE® is one of the only, if not THE only map company that conducts research by walking or driving an area to ensure accuracy. After all, what good is the map if what you hold in your hands doesn’t match what you see on the street sign? This lengthy fact checking results in superior accuracy; in effect, we’ve done the work, now you have the adventure.

In the end, it’s not about the map, it’s about getting out and finding your own authentic experience wherever you go. It’s about being in a city or a region and discovering things that you never thought you would find. You can do this if you have confidence and you have confidence if you have a great map. STREETWISE® is the great map that you need.

I recently moved back to Chicago and needed a map as a refresher. I was very disappointed when I received this map. It’s great and handy, unfortunately it didn’t cover the city. The map didn’t show Bucktown or anything West but included all of the Southside. I was looking at moving into an area that I didn’t have a map of!!! If you want to see any of Bucktown, Wickerpark or Logan Square do not buy this map.

Great series of maps for residents and tourists. Very detailed but extremely compact (though still legible), laminated, folds easily. It can be used quite subtly, so you don’t look lost (giving the apperance of a goofy out-of-towner, or worse, a safety issue.)

Chicago Streetwise features:

-Main map (north to Lakeview, south to Hyde park, west to Ukranian Village)

-Downtown map

-neighboring counties road map

-Hyde Park/Kenwood detail

-CTA/Metra train lines

-street and landmark index

On the main map, it identifies train stops (but unfortunately no busstop info, which may be helpful), street numbers, various important buildings (landmarks, colleges, some hotels, etc.).

If you are planning on visitng Chicago, or have just moved to the area, look no further than this map.

make sure you have the newest version of this map. the city changes so quickly that older maps become irrelevant. i walked the city with my boyfriend and the 2008 streetwise and we loved it. very easy to read and the 3-Ds of buildings was so helpful in a big, congested city. one time we thought we were lost but then looked at the map and realized that we were at the back side of the Chicago Museum of Art. we would have gone back to our hotel if we hadn’t been able to figure out what street the entrance was on.

excellent map, only one with 3-D building details and current public transit info. get the 2008 edition, it is the most current of all the maps per the concierege at our hotel.

As a person who actually lives in Manhattan, I speak from the perspective of someone who is looking at the information to see if it is accurate to my experience and if it is easy to understand. As always, DK Eyewitness Travel Guides come through with shining colors. This series of travel guides are my absolute favorites. They are arranged in logical order (in this case by museums, theatre district, historical sites, etc.) and have enormous numbers of beautiful pictures to correspond with the text. Your interest is piqued by the colorful pictures and you are given all the pertinent information such as hours of operation, cost of tickets, or meals, and ways to reach your destination. Maps are always included using all of the various forms of transportation that are available in this magnificent city. No matter what you destination may be, DK Eyewitness Guides are always the best. This is the 2015 New York City Guide and as expected exceeds all possible hopes for any visitor to our wonderful town. Don’t leave home without it!

Great guide. Wonderfully detailed and beautifully illustrated. I used it more for research ahead of my trip rather than an actual carry around guide – though I did pack it and consulted it frequently from my hotel room. I’ve found books to be better for pre-trip research because they include EVERYTHING for one to filter through. With online research you tend to zero in on just the big attractions and miss some of the most interesting hidden gems because you just don’t know they’re there.

A nice feature of this guide is the tear-out laminated fold up map which I actually folded in half again and kept in my pocket for all my travels about town – it helped extend my smart-phone battery life. It shows every street and landmark yet it’s just big enough for older eyes. I only wish the subway portion of the map included Brooklyn. All in all the book served me well and I highly recommend it.

I received one of these as a gift back in 1995. It was my NYC Bible. It taught me almost everything I needed to know that I used for almost ten years of spending time in the city four times a year. Not having been in the city for ten years now, I wanted to make myself up to date and refresh my memory on several things, so I bought the 2015 edition. These DK books just keep getting better! If you’re planning a first time trip ANYWHERE there is a DK book for, BUY IT!!! They are very smartly put together, and durable as all getout. I’m sure you can use the large foldout map in the back cover at least a hundred times before it starts to show any wear. Every aspect, from the physical to the informational, of these books are top drawer. They are, simply put, beautiful books.

United States Executive Poster Size Wall Map Map – November 12, 2014 Epub Free


United States Executive Poster Size Wall Map (tubed) (National Geographic Reference Map) Map – November 12, 2014

Wonderful map. Arrived in a protective clear tube. I really enjoy the level of detail (national monuments/parks are often identified on the map as well). I purchased this and a framed pebbled cork (from Board Dudes found on here: Board Dudes 35 x 46 Inches Dual Effex Premium Pebbled Cork Board with 2-Tone Frame (12784) ) to create a great family travel map for our home.

I bought this map a few months back and love it! The map is detailed enough to be able to zero in on major cities and it has a sort of vintage look to it. It comes rolled up but flattens out nicely – hasn’t curled up at the ends or anything. Just be aware that it doesn’t come laminated. I framed mine up and backed it with homasote to be able to stick these handy pins in denoting different reasons for my travels there by color GEM Map Tacks, Plastic, Assorted, 3/8 Inch, 100/Box (MTA)

This is a fabulous map that can either be tacked up on the wall in the classroom or mounted in an expensive frame and still pull it off. The detail is pretty amazing as well, the cities are so on-point that even my tiny home town is listed. An easy diy project for the weekend I rubber cemented several cork board tiles to a piece of plywood, cemented the map to the top and polyurethaned it all. Add some stained and polyed decorative molding and wa la! You have an expensive looking piece of art ready to chart your journeys for less than $100.
