Learning in Science: The Implications of Children's Science

2 reviews
Peter Freyberg, Roger Osborne

Heinemann, 1985

phenomenal!
while so many school administrators worry about improving standardized test scores, they fail to care whether students actually comprehend the most basic science concepts. rote memorization is not the answer, as it has been proven that children will regurgitate what is expected of them for an exam, without actually changing the way they innately feel about scientific phenomena. afterwards, ...

The best of the hardest
These are highly admirable overviews by some of the best of the current set of the philsophers examining past greats. This must have been a difficult book to put together. The editors would have to have found not one, but four great authors from which to put together introductions for the hardest authors in all philosophy. He succeeded. This book makes immediately explaicable two of the ...

Memoirs of a Revolutionist

Peter (Edited By James Allen Rogers) Kropotkin

The Cresset Library, 1988

History will prove this man more foresighted than we know!
This intelligent and kind man all too often falls through the cracks of history. People forget that there was a completely different school of socialist thought that existed concurrently with the ideas of Marx. Kropotkin, like many others who believed in the ability of people to make their own economic relations, had the distinction of being persecuted by people on both sides of the ...

Adolescent Medicine: A Handbook for Primary Care

1 review
Victor C Strasburger, Robert T Brown, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005

Accurate & Accessible
This is an essential aid to anyone who sees teenagers in their practice. The authors have produced a consistent, easily read style. The book is relatively small (portable!) with up to date information and very useful tables -- to the point and accurate. The recommendations are pragmatic; some summaries such as in Sports Medicine (ch 28) could be given directly to a teen and reviewed with them. ...

Patrick Mcgoohan: Danger Man or Prisoner?

3 reviews
Roger Langley, Peter Falk

Tomahawk, 2007

A thoroughly enjoying read
Any fan of Patrick McGoohan will enjoy this book, the first biography about this very private individual. The author painstakingly researched this book that details the career of the man famous as "John Drake" and "Number 6". McGoohan is one of the most underrated actors and probably could have been much more famous and a household name. I recently finished watching all 80-odd episodes of ...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Dartmouth, 1995

Great edition of this classic
What can one say about The Confessions? I would recommend this particular edition because of the inlusion of the letters to Malesherbes, which can shed some light on the process Rousseau's writing of The Confessions. We can also see where the text differs from what actually happaned: there are some discrepiences in his re-telling of the same event. There is as well an excellent introductory ...

1 review
John Locke

Oxford University Press, USA, 1990

Just necessary and fascinating
I don't want to give a critical review of this edition of Locke's drafts, because I feel the drafts can only be assessed in relation to the final published work from 1698. Who knows, besides Locke, how drafting the text would lead to a complete set of ideas? I have no reason to doubt scholarly methods, collations, etc. employed in producing this book. The only thing I can say, that may be ...

The authors explain how artificial intelligence involves seeing something familiar in a new light. The challenge is to emulate scripts built up over time and experience. There are significant problems with programs which do not change as the result of new knowledge. In addition, there are problems in computer learning from failure. In practice, it is impossible to articulate every possible error ...

Peter Russell, Roger Evans

Jossey-Bass, 1992

Can't beat the price!
I only paid 1 cent for this book plus shipping, so I can't complain! It did arrive very fast, but had pink highlighting throughout and dog-eared pages. But like I said, for a penny, who cares!
