This NEW edition brings better formatting and, more importantly, additional content related to high-stakes testing and international issues.

Saving Troy: A Year with Firefighters and Paramedics in a Battered City an excellent read!
This book is an excellent book full of the everyday work that firefighters and paramedics have to do. I had borrowed this book from a friend as I am from the city of Troy, NY. I liked it so well I purchased it for my future grand son in law, as he is into real life reads. I was so very interested to find out as I read this book, that I actually knew some of the firemen in this book. It is ...

An important new way of thinking about recovery
The yogic techniques Williams describes in "The Spiritual Recovery Manual" are practical and surprisingly down-to-earth, presented in a way that tends to resonate with everyday experience. These subtle mental and physiological roots of recovery provide valuable models for recovery not available in traditional, "Western" addiction/dependency literature. I admit that when I picked up the book, I ...

The Illuminating Background
I recently finished this book and intend to go back to it after re-reading In Search of the Miraculous and The Fourth Way. Both books have many valuable insights, but I found that the singular POV plus the lack of anchoring "in time" made it hard for me to see the person behind the voice. Perhaps this was intended . . . . Regardless, Patterson's book is a wonderful guide to the twists and ...

Not your average people
The ladies of The Rope were in no way average people. They lived large lives. They were intelligent and talented. Patterson begins by describing their lives and you can't help but be impressed and caught up in the glamour and excitement. But when they meet Gurdjieff things are moved to a whole different level. They (and the reader) begin to see things from a different perspective. As Gurdjieff ...

UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE!! By far, the story of Blessed Margaret of Castello is the best I have ever read! She was absolutely AMAZING! Her parents were of nobility. They were wealthy! They were also very proud, self-cented and vain. Ashamed of her "ugliness" and deformity, Margaret's parents had their little six year old daughter brought to a small room which was built for her, in order to keep ...

A wonderful book for readers of any age
This book is written about my father and the love he had for his people and how he captured it with the stroke of his brush. His paintings tell the story of the ojibwe people and how they once lived. It also tells of his personal journey through life as an artist. I still have the tapes of that interview and every so often will listen to them so I can hear his voice again. We were all very ...
