Cliffs Notes, 2000

Voice for the Voiceless - Noble (and Nobel) attempt
Beloved HAD to be written. The African-American tragedy is told here in a way that the slaves could not have articulated themselves - but here their souls cry out. True, Toni Morrison does not quite make this a total work of Art. The devices are too obvious as she fulfills this almost impossible task she has set herself. In this book you LIVE the destruction/denigration of life - in a way I ...

The Mary Shelley Reader

Indeed I am a Mary Shelley Reader
Wonderfully put together book! Without going into the usual review of a book I'll give you a perspective of mine on the best ways to enjoy it. If you're one who enjoys sitting outdoors when a light sprinkle of spring rain falls with your favorite wine beside you, this book (she) is perfect. If you enjoy taking hot baths when no one else is home and relaxing with a good book, this book will ...

Return request of Lost Villages
With the recent interest in genealogy research, I feel this book is an excellent source for all researchers looking for cemeteries within the Delaware County boundries. I just recently found this book and recommend it to everyone doing genealogy work. The draw back is that it is out of print. I feel that a reprint would definitely be in order. I understand the first time around was a huge ...

Natural Connections: Perspectives In Community-Based Conservation

1 review

Island Press, 1994

Must read!!
This book is the most complete and intelligent essay I have seen for the past 10 years of work with wildlife conservation and management. Should I have read before, it would have given me more insight in my career. This book is the result of an enormous work load done by scientists, politicians and anthropologists very well compiled in 400 pages.

Live Oak Media, 2005

A major hit with our 3-year old daughter.
Our daughter has taken this book out of her pre-school library 5 weeks in a row. We all love the wonderful, lively illustrations. Most of all, we love the message -- different can be absolutely beautiful! With Mrs. Pennywort's encouragement, the especially talented Pauline can produce any egg she wants. A great story on all levels.

Blood on the Holly

Baskerville Books, 2007

good short mysteries
This is an excellent range of stories and all are well written. The styles vary and there is a good leavening of humour. A delightful concept to join together stories that somehow connect to Christmas. My copy has already been shared and enjoyed. We hope to follow up some of the authors with whom we were not familiar

Cliffs Notes, 1992

__ I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings_____
We had to read this novel by Maya Angelou and I thought it was a very good example of the way you should write. She used imagery and descriptives to show you,the reader, how it really was in her life. I LOVED IT !!!

Simply Scrumptious, Incorporated, 1982

The Joy of Microwaving
This book shows you how to cook all sorts of things in the microwave. There are recipes for everything from vegetables and main dishes to many desserts and even potpourri! Written by three women with degrees in Home Economics, they really experimented with their microwaves. I have found the recipes very fool proof. The Sweet Potato Casserole with Crunchy (pecans or walnuts) Top has become a ...

Excellent
My home town, splendid in photos and text. Shows why my family left and why I came back 55 years later. Excellent effort, well-researched and laid out.

500 Ways to be a Better Freshwater Fishkeeper
This book is filled with a lot of useful and helpful information in "easy to understand" language, especially for beginning freshwater fishkeepers.

Kessinger Publishing, 2004

Lyrical Tales
This paperback is simply a print-out of the digital version available for $1.99 from Kessinger publishing. There is no editor, which means there are no annotations. If you are simply looking for the poems themselves, then this text is right for you. If you are looking for a scholarly edition of the work, a facsimile edition, or a rare book, then this edition is not right for you.

Creating Culturally Responsive Classrooms (Apa Psychology in the Classroom Series)

American Psychological Association (APA), 1997

culturally responsive?
WOW, is my best description for this book. It provides tons of information on how to teach according to the diverse cultures that exist within my classroom. Many activities that I would not have thought to do before. My students behaviours and learning styles make much more sense now.

A License to Steal

Walter T. Shaw, Mary Jane Robinson

Omega Publishing Group, 2008

A real story about a Father and his Son
I couldn't help but see the first review posted. This person declines to identify themselves. This book is not about the Dinner Set Gang. If you would read the book you would of seen that. This book is about a genius father and a disgruntled son. True there are references to the Dinner Set Gang. Walter was not an original member, but he was a member at one time. The original members stole from ...

Testing and Measurement: A User-Friendly Guide

Sharon E. Robinson Kurpius, Mary E. Stafford

Sage Publications, Inc, 2005

Watch out for calculation errors...
While this book contains wonderfully simple explanations of some very complex theories and ideas, there are several errors in the sample calculations that make me wonder how carefully it was edited. I found no less than five errors in calculations in their "model answers" and some of them were incredibly simple (36+3=39, not 38). I would recommend Tests and Measurements For People Who (Think ...

The Shallow Graves of Rwanda

2 reviews
Shaharyan M. Khan

I. B. Tauris, 2001

A first class case study of a UN operation
Although not quite perfect in its smallest detail, this is the most authoritative analysis yet available of the aid that the UN and the international community tried to provide to Rwanda after the genocide of 1994, concentrating on the period from the author's arrival in June of that year and tending to discuss UNAMIR's work at the operational rather than the tactical level - although it does ...

Honoring Patient Preferences

1 review
Anne Knights Rundle, Maria Carvalho, ...

Jossey-Bass, 1999

Why so expensive?
The information was written with one medical center in one geographic area as the focus. Thus they focused on the ethnic groups which are served by that medical center rather than the United States at large. Many common US ethnic groups are missing, e.g. Philippines, Korea, Italy, to name three large immigrant populations in our area. The CD makes it easier to make copies while at a computer ...

Mary Robinson, Judith Pascoe

Broadview Press, 1999

Mary Robinson: Selected Poems, edited by Judith Pascoe
At a time when Mary Robinson's work is being recovered with much enthusiasm, Judith Pascoe's long awaited volume of her poetry is useful both as an introduction to Robinson and as a tool for further advanced study. Pascoe's introduction to the volume combines biographical information, an overview of available criticism, keen critical insight, and suggestions for further research, making it ...
