John Whitmore's Grow model is similar to the problem solving approach where after you have brainstormed the possible solutions for a problem, you choose which is the best implementation, keeping your goal in mind.

The rubber band model used to help you out in dilemmas, is similar to the Force-field analysis where you weigh the causes working in and against your favor.

A World to Care For: The Autobiography of Howard Rusk, MD

Howard Rusk's 'A world to care for' is an excellent book. Its his autobiography, but it directly delves into the rehabilitation for war veterans and disabled. It is intsructive to read how he felt the need for such a program, how he went about getting people's attention and funding.
It is strange reading of times when there were no antibiotics, anticonvulsive drugs.

At some point, paraplegics life expectancy was less than a year. His rehabilitation program has changed that.

It is interesting reading about the early prosthetic limbs- paper made temporary ones on...

This book is not just his story, but of many other doctors who made impossible dreams like walking for paralyzed people possible and of the disabled people themselves who did great things with their motivation.

I really like the statement- "When you work with a handicapped person, you've got to think of his abilities more than his disabilities."

The Invisible World National Geographic Video Classics VHS

I saw this video as a child of 13 or 14 years. I was mesmerised by it. The famous milk drop splash is all I remember of the content. I then thought it was worth stacking the name in my head.

Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant

Having read a little on Synesthesia in Diane Ackerman's ' A Natural History of Senses'.. I did believe Daniel Timmet's visual experiences of numbers and words.. A little into his childhood.. I was scared as to what will happen to him as an autistic child.. But with his diverse experiences in another country.. he has gone way far where he can answer the question of Allie Cone's(a mountaineer character) students "Do you know what its like when the only direction is down?"

A Place Called Home: Twenty Writing Women Remember

From the essays that stick with me, I realise that each writer had a different way of approaching 'home'. If some have recalled their childhood in connection with it, some have written about their experiences in having a home of their own.

The best I liked was Meg pie's 'The Lake' where she evokes a picture of her childhood personality that leaves the reader in bouts of laughter.

Jill McCorkle's 'Secret Places' has built a wonder land in just few pages, recalling her childhood.

Erica Jong's 'Coming Home to Connecticut' brings out her love for nature.

Carole Maso's 'the Shelter of the Alphabet: Home' had me in splits that her list of homes was never ending.

Rosellen Brown's 'Displaced Person' is a two fold essay. Her essay about home dealt with her identity and the way her grandfather's memories clinged to her, she has extended the concept of home from a mere house, to the people associated with it - the family.

I found 'On the Continental Shelf' difficult to understand. May be next time I pick this book again, I would have developed enough as a reader to get it. Such are the essays that you can read them anytime you pick the book after a while.
