Synopsis: As a mom of a newly diagnosed child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Chynna Laird relentlessly sought experts in SPD, as well as top nutritionists, biopsychologists, and neurologists. She thought that if she could understand the major functions of the brain, and how it’s supposed to take in, process and respond to stimulation, she could discover how SPD interferes with these functions. Understanding the whole picture (the combination of body, brain and nutritional health) led Chynna to embrace the “Sensory Diet.”
“Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of the non-specialist general reader with no previous background on the subject…”
In the pages of “The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom’s Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD”, Chunna share the keys of a well-balanced nutritional diet and the activities and exercises that truly work. “The Sensory Processing Diet” is specifically designed for parents to utilize the resources in this study to create a whole picture of their own child’s conditions and create a customize Sensory Diet for him or her.
Critique: Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of the non-specialist general reader with no previous background on the subject, “The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom’s Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD” is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to community and college/university library Parenting collections in general, and SPD supplemental studies lists in particular. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of concerned parents that “The Sensory Processing Diet” is also readily available in a paperback edition (9781615995219, $21.95) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $6.95).

More than 6,000 shipwrecks have been recorded on the Great Lakes, but only one offers a true-life adventure like the 1926 rescue of the City of Bangor off the Keweenaw Peninsula in upper Michigan. A fierce November storm tossed the ship with a crew of 23 and 240 new Chrysler automobiles onto a Lake Superior reef. For the first time, Shipwrecked and Rescued tells the near-tragic story of lost and desperate shipmates floundering for two days in the deep snow and near-zero temperatures. Jorgensen's detailed research and collection of 100 rare historical photos chronicles what happened, introduces the key players, and finally reveals the fate of those collectors' prizes in the century since.

"Shipwrecked and Rescued is a thoroughly researched book about the most famous Keweenaw Peninsula shipwreck. The author clearly describes the timeline of incredible events, noting the vast number of people involved in successful rescue and salvage--a story that continues to this day through authentic artifacts, historic preservation, and family descendants of those who were there." -- Sean Ley, Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society

"This book is well-written and illustrated. It is almost beyond belief, but wonderful photos serve to corroborate the story." -- Robert Joynt, Classic Car Club of America

"Jorgensen provides a thorough look at a unique and fascinating Great Lakes shipwreck story." -- Eric Marsen, Curatorial Specialist, Michigan Maritime Museum

"It is refreshing that a non-native of the U.P. took such an intense interest in this wreck that he made the time to research his topic thoroughly, work with the Keweenaw County Historical Society, search out the background details and utilize a great number of photos so readers can see as well as read the story. All in all, it's a quick and informative read." -- Deborah K. Frontiera, U.P. Book Review

"If you like tales of courage and survival in the worst conditions that Lake Superior can dish out, you'll really enjoy Larry Jorgensen's Shipwrecked and Rescued: The City of Bangor. Be sure to pick up a copy from the many bookstores and gift shops on the Keweenaw Peninsula." -- Victor R. Volkman, Marquette Monthly
