Those Who Can, Teach discusses modern American education. The book is divided into sections on schools, teachers, students, the history of education, and careers in teaching. The reader will learn, for example, theories of learning; rules of conduct governing educators; issues confronting students; and the role of technology in the classroom.

Those Who Can, Teach explores the diverse and complex aspects of the education profession from grade school to high school.

I especially like the keywords and reflections at the end of each chapter. I am currently using this book as a text in a course designed for students who are seriously considering teaching as a career.

If you are a fan of the show this book is totally worth the time it might take to find it. It explains EVERYTHING that happened in the years before the ship landed and lets you see more about why the characters are the way they are. I definately recommened this book, I couldn't put it down.

I think that children of all ages will enjoy this book because any Wishbone book is funny, serious, scary and mysterious at the same time. I know children with pretty much the entire series of these type of books. So all I'm saying is that this book is a 5 star book!!

It is a two-in-one mystery book and is about a train mystery. There is also a new character in the story from California. All in all, it is a very good book!

My daughter LOVED this book. Sometimes I would hear her laughing from the other room as she read it. She would even bring up some of the issues she read about during dinner. She said that even though it was written by adults, it was presented in "her language" (funny, I thought she spoke English like the rest of us). She really liked the chapters by Mark Bernstein and Keith Hawkins in particular. Thanks for a great read. Go MAD is great!

I've just started to read this book for one of my education classes. I love the insights that it shares with its readers. I am only beginning my career in education but am so fasinated with the many viewpoints and lessons to be learned. I feel it has been a very handy tool in assisting me with my classes. That is why I'd like to purchase this book.

Kaliedoscope does the opposing viewpoints journal and essay writing approach very well. The articles are clustered into related fields with well written essays by professionals in the the mix of the issues in education and a few well known voices from the academic researchers to balance it out. The articles all kept me engaged due in part to the volitile nature of of the subjects addressed and the fact that they provoked a strong sense of either agreement of disaproval in either case. This book is a must read for new teachers that are trying to feel out the issues they will be facing in the classrooms and on their school campuses.

I loved this book it's sooo great. I'm not going to say all that much about it to find that out you'll have to read it. In this book Wishbone play Indana Jones hunting through a mine to find the tresure and thats all I have to say bye

Star Trek-The Next Generation written by Peter David is a book that stars the number-one villian of the next generation..."Q."

It always seems that "Q" shows up on Captain Jean-luc Picard's doorstep every time sometime goes amiss with "Q." Well, this is no exception as "Q" is baby sitting, right, but thaat's the premiss. And who should it be the "lucky" child "Q" is baby sitting... none other than Trelane.

If you don't know who Trelane is he was introducted in TOS in the episode called "The Squire of Gothos" as the reckless child "Q" that want to use Kirk and crew as play things. There is a hint of "Yesterday's Enterprise" in the novel.

Well, what happens is the Trelane has found a way to tap into the continuium and has greater powers than "Q" himself and is causing the parallel universes to converge and intersect, three to be exact.

So, you actually have three universes to keep tract of while reading this book and you really have to pay attention to the chapter titles. But, now we get to meet Jack Crusher who is the Captain of the Enterprise and Picard is Number One, Beverly and Wesley are dead. Picard is having an affair with Beverly in another and of course the true timeline for this universe. All making an interesting read.

Peter David really gets into the "Q" character and makes him jump with energy throughout the book as with Trelane as Picard has a sword fight with Trelane and you can visualize the dark clouds and the thunder and lightening claps in the background.

So, the fate of all creation is at stake as this awesome struggle between two super beings is about to unfold. A book that will not leave you disappointed as you will NOT want to put it down until the ending.

Peter David has obviously given a lot of thought to this story. He very expertly weaves elements from both Star Trek Classic and Next Generation episodes. Mr. David creates a number of very plausible explanations that make it seem as if the early Star Trek episode 'The Squire of Gothos' was intended all along to tie-in with the Next Generation episodes starring 'Q'. Nice job! The dialogue in this book is absolutely great! As you read the lines of each character you feel as though you're listening to them talk. Syntax, grammar, even intonation, are all nicely conveyed by Mr. David. There are a number of surprises in this book. As the author warns you from the very start, 'Make no assumptions'. You'll be guessing about how the story ends all the way to the end. And even when you get there, Mr. David gives you one more small surprise. Even if you've read only a few Star Trek books, you'll know that the quality of these books ranges from poor to excellent. Mr. David's books are definitely of the latter category. And 'Q-Squared' ranks among his best.

One of the unfortunate aspects of the star trek phase of my life was that I read this work before reading most other star trek books that preceded it. Compared to thsi masterpiece, most books about the Enterprise crew seem almost to be written on a 4th grade level.

Peter David took Star Trek's most witty, intriguing and mysterious character (Q), and combined his story with that of an oddity from a horrible Original series episode (Trelane). The souce of Trelane's power and his species were a couple of those mysteries left unanswered by the star trek creator. In this book, we find out that Trelane is a Q and that Q is his godfather and mentor. This in itself would make for a delightfully entertaining story. But David adds a few parallel universes to the equation, the reality seen in Yesterday's Enterprise and a reality in which Jack Crusher was not killed when the Stargazer battled the Ferengi. Trelane is gallavanting around parallel universes causing disturbances (temporal and otherwise) as Q struggles to tame him.

David uses what can best be described as a stream of conscousness style, constantly switching from universe to universe following the adventuries of his powerful and mischevious characters. There is one particularly excellent chapter (which cannot possibly be transplanted into film) descrbing Trelane's experience at the center of pure inanity.

One drawback this book may have is that it does incorporate a lot of information from both the ORiginal Series and The Next Generation. I was a little disappointed the first time I read the book because at that time, I had not seen the Squire of Gothos and David did not go into detail describing Kirk's past encounter with Trelane.

However, this is at worst a minor weakenss and informed Star Trek fans will see it as a strength as David seems to incorporate everything from Gary Mitchell to Rachel Garrett. Indeed, as one character informs another at the beginning of the work, "Son there is nothing we are not going to do today". Read this book!

In this great piece of literature, a great writing team puts forth an excellent and complex storyline.

Both authors consummate their usage of Star Trek lore, their own creative ideas, and their ability to replicate each character's individuality.

The story begins as three separate plots. The first takes place in the mid-twentyfirst century, and describes how Zephram Cochrane used his warp drive to foil, and escape from the earth-dominating Optimum Movement. The second outlines Kirk's discovery of Cohrane himself on a barren planet. The third describes how the Enterprise-D discovers an interesting artifact from one of their most dangerous enemies.

These plots are combined ingeniously and unexpectedly. In order to find out how though, you have to read the book. I give it a 9.

which as the story progresses, slowly and steadily intertwine. The plot is slow to develop, but it is interesting to read about

This is definetely one of the best Star Trek novels I've read. The best elements of the novel were the use of 3 different timelines combining into one pretty good story, as well as the history provided on the life and accomplishments of Cochrane. The "meeting" of the two crews was one of the weaker parts of book, I felt.

All in all, however, it's a must read for star trek fans. Particularily if you want more insight into star trek history and if you enjoy books with different plot streams that culminate into one conclusion.

Not only do original Star Trek fans get a real treat with this book, but also fans of The Next Generation. Anyone who has read or watched Star Trek Generations will love the inclusion of Zephram Cochram and the beginning of the Federation in this delightful novel. Spanning 400 years of Federation history, Judith Reeves-Stevens, Garfield Reeves-Stevens provide an excellent insight into the development of Federation ideals. You do not have to be an avid fan to enjoy this novel
