Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream

43 reviews
Adam Shepard

SB Press, 2007

Lessons here for everyone
This book does much more than refute Barbara Ehrenreich's book claiming the American dream deceased. It is a human, sometimes humorous, and quite educational adventure story. Some can dispute whether it is a valid experiment in duplicating the real state of the poor and homeless but it does show that hard work, persistence, and sane choices still work to elevate anyone's socio economic level. In ...

Defending this book!!!!!
I was taking begining algebra for the second time this semester. I love this book. In the bookstore, it came bundled with the solution manual and the CDROM lecture series which are a must for anyone that struggles with math or misses a lot of class. I missed a month of class last semester and this semester. What made the difference in being able to pass this semester is this book, the ...

Art of math?
If you read the other reviews of this book, you might end up thinking, "Are they talking about a math book, or a piece of art?" It might well be both. This book ended up in my hands as the result of a book drive at the office where I work (staff donate books, I sell them, proceeds go to a charitable fund). I ended up buying it. I'm 45, and I'm a psychologist; algebra is not something I use on ...

Test Success: Test-Taking Techniques for Beginning Nursing Students 4th Edition

9 reviews
Patricia M. Nugent, Barbara A. Vitale

F. A. Davis Company, 2004

If you want A's Read this book
I can not say enough good things about this book. I bought it just after starting nursing school and would read sections of it as I had the time. It helped me really have an edge over the nursing exams from the on set. While other fellow students were struggling with how to "read" nursing test questions (which can be very tricky), I understood exactly what the question were asking, and the ...

The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1)

1091 reviews
Lemony Snicket

HarperCollins, 1999

the best book ever
The book The Bad Beginning is a tragic, serious, and sometimes funny book. This book begins with this interesting choice of words from the author. "If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better of reading some other book. In this book not only is there no happy ending there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle." This book is about three kids, ...

The Beginning of All Things: Science and Religion

6 reviews
Hans Kung

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008

major theologian on science controversy
Kung is one of the clearest theologians thinkers writing today. There are a glut of books out there promising to weigh in on some pressing issue that concerns the science/ religion controversy. I personally believe that it is a bogus issue largely fed by the publishing industry. That said, I think Kung's book is one of the few on the subject worth reading. I have read Dawkins and Hitchens and am ...

One Writer's Beginnings (The William E. Massey Sr. Lectures in the History of American Civilization)

25 reviews
Eudora Welty

Harvard University Press, 1998

To learn to listen for the stories
This is an outstanding memoir. In telling of her own development as a writer Welty devotes much time to telling the story of her parents, and their families. She writes of them with respect, understanding and appreciation. She also by telling the story of the families gives a picture of the American world of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While Welty does not devote most of her ...

Each Day a New Beginning: Daily Meditations for Women

Karen Casey

Hazelden, 1996

The Key to Life
I don't think we as human beings actually recognize the power of daily reading, meditation, and reflecting. Practicing these powerful principles allows us to remain mindful of the moment and reflect upon the deeper question in our lives. To devote ourself to a daily meditation and to journal on these quiet times is priceless and will certainly aid in the evolution of our soul. For me this ...

As It Was in the Beginning: The Coming Democratization of the Catholic Church

3 reviews
Robert McClory

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2007

McClory's Loving Critique
McClory's life in the church has equipped him with a knowledge of how it works, and his love of justice leads him to critique these inner workings. The most prominent feature of this latest book of his is the love he obviously bears for his native place, the Church. (A preview of this attitude appeared in his earlier book, Faithful Dissenters: Stories of Men and Women Who Loved and Changed the ...

Beginning Theory: An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory

13 reviews
Peter Barry

Manchester University Press, 2002

This is the one I recommend to my students
As a literature professor, I have a professional responsibility to know about literary theory. And let's face it: it's a pretty scary and complex subject, feared by many and mastered by few. In fifteen years in the business, I have read many books about lit crit and literary theory, and Peter Barry's book is BY FAR the best. It is, indeed, "only" an introduction to the subject, rather than an ...

Brighten Up Boring Beginnings and Other Quick Writing Lessons (Grades 4 and up)

Laura Robb

Scholastic Professional Books, 2003

Book looks to have possibilities
As a 4th grade teacher, I've been looking for a book with exercises that will help my students with their writing - something with short, easy to digest information, and something that will allow them to write just a paragraph (as opposed to 1-2 pages). I think this book looks to be the ticket. I've not used it yet, but the components are all there. There are 18 lessons, each containing tips ...

The Beginning Runner's Handbook: The Proven 13-Week Walk-Run Program

The Sports Medicine Council British Columbia

Greystone Books, 2005

Very worthwhile book
Before I started reading this, I was a slug - never exercised and was 70 lbs. overweight. I started a weight loss program and was walking religiously, but found that I became used to the intensity so I needed something more. My daughter recommended this book as a way to "learn" running and I've been following it ever since. I've now lost 54 pounds and am about 25% through the program. My goal is ...

A Force To Be Reckoned With
G.S. Morrison? Jo Ann Brewer? Feeney, Christensen, & Moracivik? Watch Out! This text packs some major punch...quite unexpectantly. I've been waiting for this new edition from Gordon & Brown for four years. The last book was pretty intriguing. It had some very well-written sections on DAP, but this book takes a giant leap forward. The key to a good early childhood introductory textbook ...
