Growth-Charts Books

Stephen Arroyo has a beautiful and gentle way of connecting the study of astrology and life. This is a MUST have for all students of astrology to see and understand the unavoidable knocks on the door to transform our lives!

i am a novice at astrology. This book is not for the novice.It is too complicated for me. I wanted something simple and fun to read.

Loved this book. Well written and comprehensive. Understandable and useful even for the non- astrolger. Tremendous insight.

This book is an absolute must even for beginner astrologers as it covers the slow planets and their effects. The absolute best book I've ever read on the "heavies".

I have studied Astrology for almost 20 years. For a brief period at the peak of my studies I did practice Astrology and was working toward NCGR certification. I chose to put my energies into having a family, however, and put Astrology aside for awhile. I still use it as a tool and have come back to it in the last year. I thought I'd write some reviews on the many books i do own. As I clicked on this book (my favorite) I actually did a double take at Ms Gallanti's review written in 2003, thinking i ALREADY wrote it. Here's why: I too, have said many times over the years that "if I were asked to take only ONE Astrology book to a deserted island for the rest of my life, it would be Mr Arroyo's Astrology Karma & Transformation"!

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just buy it, and I'll see y'all on that island someday!

I loved the Owners Manual Book I received as a shower gift with my first child SO much that I shared it with many other parents... so many that I lost track of who and where it ended up. When a friend had a baby I went online to purchase the book for her and found this Starter Kit... which includes the book and so much more. I loved it so much I bought one for myself when my second child was born. It's so funny and actually helpful too. The growth chart with stickers is a great idea!!! Buy this for any first time parents - they will love it!!!

The info in this book is not only helpful, but also written in a very user friendly way. Everything is well organized and is straight to the point. I enjoyed reading this book cover to cover (unlike other baby books that were given to me that I found too wordy). I recommend this book for anyone that is having a hard time getting their mate to read baby books. The book also includes charts that can be used to track your baby's progress. The other things in this keepsake box are not necessary, but are very nice to have. The instructional poster is not only useful, but also a great conversational piece in the nursery.

I gave this to expectant parents who just love it. Every evening the husband sits down and reads it.....really enjoys the format fo the manual.

Finally a baby gift with the father in mind. A gift all men can relate too.

I don't know crap about kids. I'm even more clueless about what to get soon-to-be-parents. When a hipster friend of mine with great taste recommended this kit I thought, "Thank God, my baby-gifting needs are taken care of for the foreseeable future". . . and it was so.

I have purchased not one, not two, but SEVEN of these kits over the last 18 months (geez people). The book is very wry, the bonus items clever and useful, what more do you want? Everyone gets a kick out of this thing. My penpal in Oshkosh, my DJ friend in San Francisco, it's a winner.

Somewhat hesitant on purchasing growth charts since a lot of them out there are pretty cheap and flimsy... However, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It's nicely made and constructed so hopefully it can withstand the beatings with 2 boys!

This item was purchased for my granddaughter and my daughter just loves it, thank you so much for a great product.

I was suprised to see how durable this chart was. A lot of them are just paper, some of them you even have to glue on to the wall. This one is really strong (great for those who are planing to move). I really love the stickers and the places to put the pictures. Best of all, it's Sesame Street theme (which is really hard to find).

The growth chart was very cute, but the stickers, that were supposed to be included, were missing.

My 2 yr old daughter loves this! Its very colorful & she loves all the animals.. the stickers that come with it are a great idea!

Inexpensive and very cute. Constructed well, love that it has photo holders. My daughter loves animals, so this was an easy pick.

I was happy to see the appearance of hand painted detail and the product met my expectaions from what I saw online.

This growth chart is hardbacked and works great for a growing child. My daughter loves to she how much she has grown. It even has slots that you can hang pictures and place arrows of milestones. I'm very satisfied.

It is very cute my daughter loves the colors and pictures on it and of course, she loves the most the pictures of herself.

I thought the person's review before me did a great job describing this item, but it ended up being better than expected! I love the size that it is so you can pack it along if you move...or if you just want to move it's location. It folds into three sections, 2 folds - the ribbon up top is cream/white to match and very cute. It's not as tall as I expected, but I think I was picturing something for a 16 year old....yeah right. Anyway, it's colors are adorable, uni-sex which is nice. It's got spots for photos and comes with adorable little stickers to add on. I am just very pleased and can't wait to hang it on our wall and measure our daughter.

This growth chart is the nicest I've seen. Mostly because I love the illustrations of Anita Jeram, but it is also very well-made. It is a tri-fold design mounted on heavy board with a creme satin ribbon for hanging. It also comes with stickers to mark "I am one." and so on and it has wallet-size slots for photos. The slots are filled with illustrations so they look cute even before you have a chance to fill them with photos of your little cutie!

I gave this as a gift and saw it hung in the nursery, very cute! It's not very tall though.

Various forces such as increased competition in the global economy and a high technology revolution in computers and communications have significantly increased private-sector productivity. In this volume, first published in 1997, Jasinowksi has selected and edited essays written by 26 leading economists and CEOs which, as he explains, "add up to a thorough investigation of American growth prospects. Although there are differences of opinion, the consensus is that dramatic economic changes have increased the nation's capacity for sustained, noninflationary economic growth." Although the authors (obviously) approach various issues from different perspectives and offer different recommendations, Jasinowski notes that there is a significant consensus among them: "First, they agree that in the long run, increases in output per person are driven mainly by technological advance....Second, the writers agree that market capitalism is the most efficient economic system....Third, there is a general consensus among the writers that the role of government should reduced.....Finally, there is a sense among these writers that the economic potential of the United States is greater than has sometimes been argued."

The essays are organized within seven sections whose titles suggest their primary focus. I also identify an essay included in each section. 1. The Mandate for Higher Growth ("The Economic Growth Imperative", Jack Kemp); 2. America Can Grow Faster ("Damn the NAIRU and Full Steam Ahead!", Robert Eisner); 3. Growth Is Coming from Companies ("Small Business and Economic Growth," Rosabeth Moss Kanter); 4. People Are Key ("the Power of Employees", Robert A. Lutz); 5. The Role of Technology ("Technology Investment Is Driving Growth", Frank R. Lichtenberg); 6. Global Competition ("Trade and Growth: Restoring the Virtuous Circle", Marina Whitman), and 7. Government Can Boost Growth ("The Growth Burden of Federal Regulation", William A. Niskanen). Jasinowski then provides an appropriate Epilogue, "The Rising Tide," in which he reiterates several of the recurrent themes in the 25 essays. To varying degrees, their authors do indeed explore dimensions of the "rising tide" metaphor. Jasinowski expresses an understandable concern about the situation which the American economy continues to occupy, "growing and thriving, the envy of the world" and yet "restricted by a political and bureaucratic mind-set that does not realize how the global economy has changed [and continues to change] the economic rules." That was true when Jasinowski formulated those thoughts several years ago and remains true now. Without an effective partnership of decision-makers in both the public and private sectors, free enterprise will fail to take full advantage the "rising tide" of global economics. No doubt many readers will challenge the assertions and conclusions offered within many of the essays but I think most readers will agree that the issues addressed remain relevant and indeed have even greater importance today than they did four years ago.

I love this growth chart and the fact that my daughter was able to place stickers on the chart was a bonus.

This growth chart is exactly what I was looking for! It measures up to 6 feet, so it should be the only one I ever have to buy. It's sturdy posterboard-like material, and should last through several moves. The marker stickers and animal stickers are cute, and my son loves to be measured now! I highly recommend this product!

My son just loves looking at this growth chart. He has several Eric Carle books and likes to match the images on the chart to the ones in his books. Also great that it has tags for mom and dad's height, too. Great buy!

I'm a little disappointed in the weight paper used for the chart. I was expecting it to be heavier cardboard but it is probably comparable to a manilla folder in weight. Otherwise it's a nice chart. I hope after it hangs for awhile it will lie flat against the wall.

I like the "book" cover the growth chart folds into -- for when you're no longer displaying it, but may want to keep tucked away (as a book). I like the sticker arrow stickers with the ages pre-printed, as well as some blank ones to customize your own ages or dates (made one into a "birth" arrow as some other reviewers mentioned). The animals are fun -good for a boy or girl. My daughter points to the animals on the growth chart. The only thing I didn't expect was that the growth chart starts from 1 foot, so when you put it up on your wall, you will have to mark where 1 foot high is and start the bottom from there, just so you know.

My sons favorite book is Where the Wild things Are so he was very excited when this came in the mail. He has already wanted to see how tall he is three times since we had it, very cute product!

this growth chart is perfect for my son, and includes 4 frames for photos throughout the years. i love it, and he'll love it as he grows!

Sturdy and cute, has little sleeves for small photos and stickers for marking height. Shorter than I expected, though.

This growth chart is great! It's a lot heavier-duty than I had expected - kind of like the the cover of a children's hardcover book. It will definitely hold up in a little wild thing's room! :)

I rush-ordered this to have it in time for my son's first birthday and it's great. Nice and heavy, but folds nicely for future storage. (I looked at wooden growth charts but realize that after he turns a certain age this item is bound for the memory box.) It has colorful stickers for marking heights, and four spots for little square photos as you go. It's not terribly tall...will only measure till your child hits about 4 1/2 feet. (But really, how long is your child going to be excited about marking his height on a cute little chart anyway?)
