It will be much easier for students to display their achievements and abilities with these new e-portfolios created using ...

New Jersey Ferns and Fern-Allies

1 review
James D. Montgomery, David E. Fairbrothers

Rutgers Univ Pr, 1992

Great maps, good descriptions
This book covers every species of fern (and clubmoss and horsetail, that sort of thing) reported in New Jersey, with excellent maps showing exactly where. It also includes good pictures, brief descriptions of each species, range and habitat and lots of interesting comments. Great for finding out what might be in a given area, not as good for identifying a specific sample. Still, I really ...

Kansas City : An American Story

Kansas City Star Books, 1999

Book Review
Excellent book. I actually bought this book after glancing through someone else's copy that was a gift. I already had a dvd about Kansas City as told by some its oldest residents that I thought this book was a good read to go along with great video and personal accounts and I was right.

The Fall of the House of Labor: The Workplace, the State, and American Labor Activism, 1865-1925

1 review
David Montgomery

Cambridge University Press, 1987

attacks on labor activism
David Montgomery analyzes the United States between 1865-1925 in terms of the conflicting social classes that fought for control of industry and labor relations. He argues that class consciousness permeated all levels of social interaction both inside and outside of the workplace. Labor struggles with management about working conditions, wages, and for control of the shop floor. Montgomery ...

The Lonely Leader

Alistair Horne, David Montgomery

Pan Books, 1995

Inside one of the best leaders
The enigma of famous and succesfull army leaders is not entirly unveiled in this book. But the combination of Horne, with his majestic, all-compassing style, and Montgommery jr., with his peronal experience, make this book a good try to probe into the man behind the myth. Giving both ample attention to the strategic and factual developments of Montgommery during his last campaign, it is a very ...

Fall Down, Laughing: How Squiggy Caught Multiple Sclerosis and Didn't Tell Nobody

18 reviews
David L. Lander, Lee Montgomery, 2000

Buy and read this book!
When my father finally told me he had MS (like David Lander, he kept it a secret), he suggested I read this book. The insight it gave me was priceless. Everyone will find their own path, but I can tell you that by sharing his experiences, Mr. Lander has helped me to be the best son (and friend) that I can be.

David Carr Glover Method for Piano / Theory / Level 2

1 review
Martha Mier, June Montgomery, ...

Alfred Publishing Company, 1989

Teaches what other theory books teach, but adds color, games
For most students, anything that makes theory less boring is better as long as it covers what ought to be taught. This book teaches the same material as the other major theory books but is published in color and has a scattering of musical games, puzzles and stories besides the "normal" stuff. It does a better job of keeping my students interested. I would like to see more games in the first ...

2 reviews
David P. Demarest, Fannia Weingartner, ...

University of Pittsburgh Press, 1992

Disaster on the labor front
This is a concise and well-illustrated account of the deadly strike at the Carnegie Steel works at Homestead, Pennsylvania, in July 1892. When workers' wages were cut despite huge financial gains raked in by the industry because of high tariffs, the Amalgamated Association of Iron & Steel Workers called a strike at the Carnegie mill for July 1. Management decided to treat the strike almost as an ...

Katrin Cargill

Thunder Bay Pr, 1995

Beautiful photos and well organized book.
This is a book that Martha Stewart would be proud of. The photos are beautiful, and the book is well organized. It's great for beginners as well as those with higher skill levels, but, most importantly, it tells you HOW to make each project. You are given the needle size, color, and fabric and instructions on finishing. The projects are beautiful to make and doesn't give you the "granny" ...

1 review
David Montgomery

Cambridge University Press, 1979

A Contemporary Classic
This is a wonderful book on the breakdown of workers control over both the shop floor and the production process in the United States. The story begins in the post-civil war era when skilled/craft produciton still held sway. Via the influence of craft unions (most notably Gompers' American Federation of Labor and its numerous national unions) workers in many industries (Montgomery focuses heavily ...

David Montgomery

The Lyons Press, 2000

Soooo Many Things To Choose From
If you get the book,or look on Amazon, you'll see that there are 4 1/2 pages in the table of contents. There is a whole lot to choose from. Buuuuut, sometimes, the author gets a little confusing, and I can't see what he's saying. It's a really good book though, ESPECIALLY if you are a person interested in native americans.

Pure Scents for Romance (Pure Scents)

1 review
Joannah Metcalfe

Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd, 1999

Worth every penny!
Being somewhat new to the art of scent blending, I found this to be particularly useful. There are some really lovely scent blends included with an in-depth aromatherapy guide to each of the 18 essential oils used for the various recipes. Being not so new to handmade skin care I still found this book useful since the author presents typical things like bath salts in not-so-typical ways. The ...

David Montgomery

Basic Books, 2003

Capitalism can't protect the Salmon
Dr. Montgomery shows that if the toxic and human waste poured into the rivers of the industrial revolution did not poison Salmon, the incipient capitalist institution of commercial fishing would swallow most of them.. Montgomery quotes records from the holder of fishing rights on a specific part of the Thames river. The records of this particular holder shows he caught 66 salmon in 1801, 18 in ...

Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations

9 reviews
David R. Montgomery

University of California Press, 2008

Should be required reading for history classes
This is an important mutidisciplinary book. It is relevant to many areas of civilization studies. Equally, it is relevant to the sciences. If I ran a highschool, it would be required reading, same thing if I ran the US Congress. For me, it is important on a moral level as well. I think we should help provide for future generations. Factual history is a good place to start that journey.

The Cold War & the University: Toward an Intellectual History of the Postwar Years

10 reviews
Richard C. Lewontin, Ira Katznelson, ...

New Press, 1997

A very important compilation
Viewing a political era from a particular point of view, from a subjective perspective can often manage to shed light on much more. The experiences reported by the individuals in this book are extremely well written stories that transcend the bounds of what at first seems a narrow topic. Still, if you have a particular interest in education and the politics of universities and colleges, you ...
