Goodlad's book, Teachers For Our Nation, offers insightful, useful information for persons in charge of educating future teachers. Unfortunately, our nation's economically disadvantaged students are losing the war because educators fail to meet their needs. Parent involvement is at an all time low. Goodlad's postulates need to be seriously considered because the teacher, truly, is the "key" player. If we improve the skills of the teacher, we will improve the skills of the student.

This book is hard to describe. It is such a good book and if you want a book that will make you think this is the one for you. It takes place in the future, it is not sci-fi or anything like that, it just simply shows what the future might be like. In a way it is disturbing, the author makes you look at yourself and think if you would ever do that. READ THIS BOOK! It is worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deftly edited by Michael Dregni and illustrated throughout with excellent color photography, This Old John Deere: A Treasury Of Vintage Tractors And Family Farm Memories is a wonderful celebration of John Deere tractors throughout the years and their roles on family farms across America. This Old John Deere offers a simple, plain-speech overview of the tractors' service throughout American 20th century agricultural history complements this remarkable visual tribute. This Old John Deere is a perfect giftbook selection for tractor enthusiasts and a wonderful addition to community library collections.

This book is mainly about time. It shows you how to tell time. At the end of each chapter, it tells you Time Factoids, such as: Stuff That Takes About One Hour, Stuff That Takes About One Minute,and Stuff That Takes About One Second. This was a great book!

Roger Parloff's "Triple Jeopardy" should be required reading for any American interested in our system of justice. It should be included in the curriculum of all law schools. And any trial attorney who isn't familiar with this case is at a great disadvantage. By far, one of the best books on modern American criminal justice. And anyone who is still convinced, after reading the Knapp case, that the death penalty is justified, should just read this book once more ! Beautifully written. Brilliantly analyzed . A real treasure. Take a chance and read it. You will not regret it.

I have in the past read and made use of many of the Haynes manuals for a variety of motorcycles, both domestic and foreign, and, without much doubt ,this is one of the best ones. It reaches to over two hundred pages in length and unusualy for them has no serious omisions or errors and manages to cover all aspects of the unit heavyweight Triumph twins practically and comprehensivley for the home maintenance enthusiast. This being one of the manuals which has been regularly updated over the years the coverage of the late Harris models and the advice on parts availability is far more usable than other titles they have put out in the past, it even manages to be a good read if you are less practically interested. Perhaps the standard here is higher because of the competition in the market but it still manages to be a highly reccomended buy - well I bought one so it must be your turn next - what are you waiting for?

This was a wonderful read with information and insight about levels of awarness for which many of us are reaching today. Validating and affirming and just plain fun!

This is one of the best books on the planet. The author has succesfully put into words the personal rewards people recieve when they donate their time or other resources. I feel compelled to get involved in some project asap when I open this book. Like the other books in the Life 101 series, you can read this book through or open to any page for inspiration or meditation. Many books about success emphasize giving as essential to personal success; this book clarifies that and motivates readers to share themselves.

...another of the great Life 101 Series Peter McWilliams (this is with John-Roger) is over 500 pages of solid gold advice and affirmations. The authors define wealth (40 pages of ways of looking at life), then money--and how important it is in the overall scheme of things. They show you how to enjoy what you already have...the section "You Can Have Anything You Want, but you Can't have Everything You Want" is kind of a summary statement for the entire journey presented here, but then the authors tell you, "Obtaining Is Easy; Maintaining is Hard"...they suggest that it is all an Inside Job. One which requires a bit of maintenance. They then tell you how to get more of anything you want. Money. Popularity. How to win the Powerball. (Just kidding on that last item.) Well, if they don't have the "How to" on winning the Powerball, they have the "How to" on how to enjoy the winnings. Every other page is an appropriate quote to suit the
writers' text and one can find enjoyment out of reading these alone if one is so inclined. Oprah Winfrey gives the gist of the
authors' major intention. She says "Before I had money I was really quite happy. And, I will tell you this...I never would have gotten the money If I wasn't happy to begin with". Again, it is written with those who are Brain Numb (like I am) in mind. Even if you don't become wealthy overnight, you would have taken a step in the right direction to achieve wealth and financial stability by getting this great book.

My husband is currently working through this book. I have just read it - in one sitting. It has helped me understand what he is going through and at the same time, helped me to know how to express my feelings about what he is going through. I was also able to identify various stages of my recovery, which I hadn't noticed before. An excellent book and one I will highly recommend to husbands and partners of those recovering from abuse, especially sexual abuse as a child.
