by: Sharon Weiner Green M.A., Ira K. Wolf Ph.D.

August 01, 2008
i wouldn't have thought this book would do me such good. It explained everything in details and gave extremely helpful tips for taking the SAT. i just took it today and it seemed very easy from the learning process of this book. Very thorough in explaining. It is definitely a must have if you're about to take the SAT.

.Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Netter Basic Science)
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: John T. Hansen

November 09, 2006
They're good for studying; for our anatomy lab, however, looking at the Rohen flashcards are better, because they're pictures of actual human cadavers. These cards are clear and easy to understand.

.Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Barbara Ehrenreich

June 24, 2008
I originally read this book when it was first published! I found it hard hitting, have quoted from it frequently and have recommended it to numerous indivduals.
I feel her book does not go far enough because, let us be honest, she knew she would "get out" of the circumstances it was an experiement for her, so that kept her form hitting the despair, total desperation, and fear that her children would never have full tummies; this si the plight of the working poor everywhere in America. To say it is not is to close ones eyes and live in ignorance

.Literacy Work Stations: Making Centers Work
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Debbie Diller

2003-05
I actually have two copies of this book. I had misplaced my first copy and had to have another one. I use these ideas throughout my kindergarten classroom. It would be even better for first and second grade classrooms. I use the "I Can" lists and management board ideas. This book really helps make centers work. I plan on giving one as a gift any time I have a student teacher. If you can only buy one book, this is the one to buy!

.The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Peter M. Senge

March 21, 2006
I won this book in a lottery and it was on my bookshelf for several years. I thought it would be one of those repetitive bestsellers about management and leadership, so common in this genre. Belonging to this genre, this book could not escape its being repetitive, but the content far outweighed this minor flaw. It was mainly about systemic thinking or systems theory, which is the 5th discipline. I had read about systemic thinking (in a text book by Adalberto Chiavenato), but very superficially. He only made the reference that the organizations are systems similar to living organisms, in the sense that they interact with their environment.

In this book you can find the main structures of systems that scientists have discovered, exemplified ... Read More:

.The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Rosamund Stone Zander, Benjamin Zander

September 24, 2002
The book could definitely be categorized in the "self-help book" field, but it is more creative and the examples are excellent. If you decide to get this book, and do not know who the authors are, make sure you check out a video on Youtube. Ben Zander follows the rules of the book and you can see it in his energetic, child-like attitude. Some of the rules may not seem as relevant as others, but your sure to find something you can improve on. This book is great for leadership programs and really helps you to learn your strengths and weaknesses.

.Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, Fifth Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Irvin D. Yalom, Molyn Leszcz

July 05, 2005
It's been a month... where is my book? I don't know, I haven't gotten it yet. I've gotten the other book I bought in the same order, a used book. I have yet to see the new book. This is very disappointing. It's hard to wait for a book and get further and further behind in my studies. I should have gone to a different site.

.Classroom Instruction That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Robert J. Marzano, Debra Pickering, Jane E. Pollock

2001-01
Imagine that, another educator taking age old ideas-for the most part-renaming the components & making a nice deposit in his bank account. Go back and dust off titles by Hunter, Bloom, & the like & you'll do yourself a favor. Or if you're really ambitious go to school, get your doctorate in Ed & package old ideas as new like Marzzano has done.
