Essentials of Physical Anthropology

1 review
Robert Jurmain, Harry Nelson, ...

Wadsworth, 2001

The essential primer
Utterly dependable general physical anthropology text with attractive pictures,layout, self assessment questions and suggested websites. The top student will wish to read more widely but it would be hard to fail a undergraduate Physical Anthropology course if this book is thoroughly digested.

Writing and Being: Taking Back Our Lives Through the Power of Language

G. Lynn Nelson

Innisfree Press, 2004

A wonderful, inspiring, spritual yet not religious guide....
G. Lynn Nelson's WRITING AND BEING, has persuaded me to embark on a journal of my own. As a student, I was quickly drawn by its poignant examples and practical "how to" guided instruction. Because of its easy to read style and organization, I highly recommend it to secondary English teachers. It is a "must have" resource book. But, then again, it is for those teachers who are willing to ...

Love this book!
I have read earlier books by Pearson--they were good, but this book is spectacular. As a classroom teacher, I appreciate the supplements that come with the book. My students responded very well to the first six chapters and to the public speaking chapters.

This is an excellent Anthropology resource!
I had to use this textbook for a college anthropology class recently. I found that reading the book every night was actually enjoyable--it has an incredibly easy reading-style! Also, the authors are very careful to offer numerous opinions on most subjects so that the reader can draw their own informed opinions. I think this book is excellent for anyone interested in learning about ...

The Biophilia Hypothesis (A Shearwater book)

5 reviews

Island Press, 1995

Wonderful reading
This was recommended by a scientist-science teacher-friend and I was simply blown away by the implications. If this theory is correct, then it explains the human descent into madness brought on by increased development without thought.

Lynn Nelson

Writer's Digest Books, 1997

The best for Italian research
It has been one year since I started researching my Italian Ancestors and this was the first book I purchased. It was so easy to follow and helped me tremendously in reading the birth certificates, to write letters in Italian and to understand where to search.

Writing and Being: Embracing Your Life Through Creative Journaling

G. Lynn Nelson

New World Library, 2004

The best writing exercises ever!
This is a gem of a book. I've read through the entire book, and have worked my way through about half of the exercises, and the author has the most tremendous, deep writing experiences that I've ever seen. But not for the faint of heart, because the journal writing prompts he gives are truly deep. They may take you to interior places that you haven't visited in a while. A superb book. The best ...

Engagement in Teaching History: Theory and Practices for Middle and Secondary Teachers

3 reviews
Frederick D. Drake, Lynn R. Nelson

Prentice Hall, 2004

It's more than practice.
This book is best thought of as a jargon rich primer on teaching history beyond the textbook. The significance of the book is that it recognizes that the domain of history teaching has methods that are specific to it and separate from general pedagogy. The main idea is that history teachers shouldn't be shlubbs who only show videos, teach from the textbook and fill up time with discussion time ...

Introduction to Physical Anthropology, Study Guide

Robert Jurmain, Harry Nelson, ...

Wadsworth Publishing Company, 2005

I was FASCINATED, and I am not even in Anthropology
This book, despite the other student's words, was fantastic! I read it night after night FOR FUN! It was so interesting, with good pictures too, that I just picked it up off the shelf even though it had nothing to do with my major. I even gave it to my family to read too, especially since they are fundamentalist Christians who have difficulty even conceiving of the idea of human change and ...

Lynn A. Nelson

University of Georgia Press, 2007

Key to understanding the southern conservation movement
Pharsalia is a plantation located in piedmont Virginia - one of the best-documented sites of its kind thanks to papers and records left by the Massie family owners. These enable PHARSALIA to be presented here as a case study of how white southern plantation owners employed capitalistic methods to cement their ideas of independence. Any college-level holding strong in Southern history or regional ...
