P. Mayle. What's Happening to Me? New York: Carol Publishing, 1975; list price $8.95 (No. 6 on the 1990 bestseller list of books on child care from Ingram Book Co., distributor of trade books). In need of prompt revision to address AIDS-era issues, this book, which is written for adolescents in puberty, is an odd, amusing, and aggravating mixture of goofy cartoons designed to appeal to young children, a reading level which varies from elementary to high school, and medical content which ranges from accurate to euphemistic and incorrect (especially about acne treatment, fertilization of eggs, sex hormones, and female external genitalia). The emphasis on normal variability in penis and breast size is helpful as is the guilt-free acceptance of masturbation and encouragement to achieve social and mental maturity before having children. Despite the drawbacks, the book may be useful for prepubescent children who need light exposure to the issues of puberty. Parental guidance is advised, at least until a revision is published.

Leach P. Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five. New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf; 1978; list price $24.45 (#4 on the 1988 bestseller list of books on child care of the Ingram Book Co, distributors of trade books). Addressing the effects of nature and nurture on development, Leach covers prenatal development through preschool with particular attention to infancy. Parents' roles, identical for mothers and fathers, are diverse and include controller of environments, model of ideal behavior, nurturer, and instructor. Management methods involve positive reinforcement, ignoring, and active listening; designed to be preventive, corrective, and instructive. Detailed information is given about specific practices including nutrition, stimulatory activities, illness, and education. There is some consideration of environmental forces, parenting difficulties, and the needs of exceptional children. While an intact family is not presumed, material resources are, and presence of a homemaker is advised until children reach three years of age. The text is moderately difficult to read, lacks organization and cross-referencing in the indices. However, the book is supported by numerous photographs and illustrations. The medical content was rated as fair but parents are prompted to seek medical attention appropriately.

Land Records

The Rockland County Clerk offers on-line land records searches from the ease of your home computer 24/7. This is a major improvement over searching records through index books manually or having to sift through rolls of microfilm or hard copy deeds or mortgages. We are excited to report that thanks to grants received from the New York State Archive Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund, all Rockland County deeds and mortgages from 1798 to 1929 can now be searched and printed from your home computer by logging on to www.rocklandcountyclerk.com. Through innovative software known as On Line Books (OIB) developed by Cott Systems, Inc., Rockland County was able to save major time and resources on not having to dataenter all index books from 1798-1929 and then matching these indexes with the hundreds of thousands of actual deeds and mortgage pages. The software is both unique and innovative. You will find the details of using OIB in this issue.
