Finally... I found an author and educator who states the obvious. In order to be a successful teacher, one has to first understand oneself as a person - the positive and negative aspects of our personality and identity that impact our instruction. Only by understanding these issues are teachers freed to "move the learner to the center".

Borich does an outstanding job utilizing a friendly, conversational manner of writing that easily engages the reader. Research seems to be placed in a better context when Borich "keeps it real" for the reader.

I especially appreciate his chapter on questioning strategies, a blatent area of weakness for many beginning and veteran teachers alike. He even extends questions techniques into promoting thinking and problem solving.

Finally, Borich successfully articulates the value of group collaboration often overlooked by teachers hooked on cooperative learning. One cannot exist without the other or student accountablily will drop and student frustration will prevail.

This is a must read book for any teacher trainer in search of research to support effective teaching methods.

Este hermosisimo libro, esta lleno de imagenes espectaculares y que, al mismo tiempo, le dejan espacio a la imaginacion. Me encanta fantasear con mi niña sobre todas las cosas maravillosas que realmente pasaron cuando ella llego a nuestras vidas. Lo mejor del libro es que cada padre, le encontrara un significado personal y diferente. Y lo convertira en algo escrito especialmente para su hijo. El texto es muy conmovedor y siempre sientes que esta escrito especialmente para ti. Es de esos libros que uno se llevaria a una isla desierta sin lugar a dudas.

Geared to the young and people wanting to know more about the black heritage. A fascinating survey of the contributions of blacks to American society.Excellent book for the kids and adults alike.

This is an excellent book and is a valuable addition to the libary of both RN's and APRN's working in hospice and palliative care. It provides both a general overview and specific guidelines for end stage disease process and symptom management. It would be a useful resource for anyone studying for the CHPN exam, in addition to a good working reference book to asssist in the managment of patients and their symptoms.

This is another great book in the "Essentials" series -- provides information on seven different "Kaufman" tests, most notably the K-ABC (for children) and the K-BIT (the brief test). Well-organized, easy to use, well-written. Tells you how to administer the test and how to interpret the test, step by step.
Recommended!

Debra Waugh had a vision -- a collection of frank, heartfelt misery called "Ex-Lover Weird Shit." The book had to include writing by both lesbians and gay men. The title was set. She got the writing and cartoons, then did a superb job of choosing and editing, but no publisher would turn the collection into a book. Why, you couldn't have gay men and lesbians in the same book! -- no one would buy it. And the title had to go. How about "Ex-Lover Weird Stuff?" Shaking her head at the world's weird prejudices, Waugh formed her own publishing company, Two Out of Three Sisters Press (TOOTS), and produced a marvel. If a lover has ever broken up with you, buy this book. Never mind your sexual preference. For some kinds of pain, laughter -- especially combined with plain clear good writing -- is the only drug that works. Not for nothing did one of Waugh's ex-lovers remark on the back cover, "I don't think this book is very funny."

Extraordinary Women of the Medieval and Renassiance World is a delightful and informative mosaic of beautifully crafted, thourougly researched, and intensly interesting biographies of some of history's most courageous, resourceful and amazing women. One of the most wonderful aspects of this book, is that its content is not confined to women of the Occident, or meerly to "famous" females. Rather it pays homage to many incredible women from all over the globe, whose stories might have otherwise slipped through the cracks of posterity, depriving us all (but especially women)of a vital facet of our heritage. As a women this book augmented my sense of an inter-generational legacy, and I feel it should be a standard text in world history!

I own at least six books about medisoft. I teach medisoft, among other things in a university and other colleges. This is the only book that prevented me from writing my own text book for my students. Well rounded, unpretentious and makes sense in its approach. Good balance about other information needed: Insurance, etc. and will not bog you down with coding which belongs to other books. If you want to learn about medical billing and medisoft, this book is it.

This is the first cookbook I've found that doesn't contain things I'm allergic to, I can use every recipe in the book! Great for people who have multiple allergies like gluten, corn, dairy, soy, etc.

The recipes are easy to follow, tasty and very healthy. They do, however, involve ingredients like stevia, arrowroot and amaranth flour which may not be easy to get in some places.
