On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy 22 reviews
Carl Rogers
Mariner Books, 1995
A humble masterpiece
This book by Carl Rogers on client-centered therapy may lack the drama, the force or the cleverness associated with some books on other forms of psychotherapy. What it doesn't seem to lack is a quiet wisdom that flowed from Rogers' many years of experience and sensitivity to his patients.
Despite some redundancy, being a collection of papers and presentations from Rogers over many years, "On ...

A bOoK tHat diLLeD mY piCkLe
I read a review for Jen Lancaster's newest book in some entertainment magizine. I loved the sound of her writing and her personality seemed somewhat familiar.
Being the freak I am - I had to make sure that I read her work in order and checked to see if she had any previous books. BingO! I started hunting around the fiction isles and was getting miffed when I finally surendered and asked the ...

About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design 9 reviews
Alan Cooper, Robert Reimann, ...
Wiley, 2007
Nearly a complete course in the "Cooper Method"
I read (and still have) the previous two editions of this book. Unlike the usual "complete revised and updated" hype for new editions, this one has had some serious re-work and expansion.
The whole structure of the book is new and very close to being a complete course/textbook in the Cooper approach to Goal-based Design. All the sections have been expanded based upon reactions to the ...

Principle Centered Leadership52 reviews
Stephen R. Covey
Free Press, 1992
A Must Read for All Leaders and Future Leaders
This book is truly amazing. I first read this book in college and worked hard at applying Mr. Covey's concepts. After learning to internalize and integrate these concepts into my life I became a more focused person, learned to put my highest priorities first, and learned to become a more principle-centered "leader".
I will share one of the many key concepts that I took away from reading ...

Public Speaking: An Audience-Centered Approach (6th Edition) (MySpeechLab Series)8 reviews
Steven A. Beebe, Susan J. Beebe
Allyn & Bacon, 2005
The Sixth and Ever Better Edition
You can't say that the audience-centered concept used in this book was pioneered by them. After all, in the first paragraph the authors give credit to Aristotle for defining the elements of speechmaking as 'of speaker, subject and person addresed - it is the last one, the herer, that determines the speaker's end and object.'
The first edition of this book, about 15 years ago, set the tone for ...

Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics: Grades K-3 (Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics Series) 6 reviews

Allyn & Bacon, 2005
Must-Have book
I am so glad I bought this book. I have been teaching for over 10 years, but I always felt something was missing from my math lessons. This book fills in the gaps.
It explains how kids learn math and the connections that need to be made from one concept to the next. It also has assessments to help determine each student's level of understanding and how they are solving problems.
I can't ...

Christ-Centered Preaching: Redeeming the Expository Sermon19 reviews
Bryan Chapell
Baker Academic, 2005
AMAZING!
I love this book! It is by far the best book I have ever read on preaching, Chapell explains expository preaching in a light that few authors can. He puts all of the focus on Christ and how the audience needs to hear about Jesus. If you are looking for a book to revive your preaching look no further.

Technical Communication: A Reader-Centered Approach1 review
Paul V. Anderson

This is an excellent and comprehensive guide to tech writing
This book is an excellent guide to technical writing. It provides clear, organized recommendations that are supported by research. It provides practical advice for writers in situations ranging from writing reports to reviewing colleagues work to creating web pages and writing email. Although there are 20 chapters, because it's so useful and well-written, it's a pretty quick read. A colleague ...

Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics: Grades 5-8 (Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics Series)4 reviews
John M. Van de Walle, Lou Ann H. Lovin
Allyn & Bacon, 2005
Everything a new teacher needs to start off right
A professor recommended Van de Walle's books to me so I bought this one. This book explains how to teach math so that students build on existing knowledge, rather than learn sets of algorithms without understanding their meaning. It offers a range of specific lessons for all math topics for grades 5 - 8, it explains how to teach the same topics to diverse learners, how to teach to the ...

Excellent resource
This is a concise guide to creating syllabi that encourage students to engage in course content and take advantage of resources available to them. I have used suggestions from this book for several courses over the past six years. My students find that a syllabus based on suggestions in the book helps them organize their approach to the course and establish goals for learning. Administrative ...

Child, Family, and Community: Family-Centered Early Care and Education (5th Edition)1 review
Janet Gonzalez-Mena
Prentice Hall, 2008
A Book On Family Centered-Learning
Known for the "diamond standard" for infants and toddlers (i.e. INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND CAREGIVERS), Gonzalez-Mena shows her diversity with this solo-written text on the family aspect of early care and education.
Like her other text, Gonzalez-Mena prefers content over presentation which, in her case, is as right as rain. As usual, she eschews color pictures and innovative, dazzling graphic ...

Living the Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel the Main Thing11 reviews
C.J. Mahaney
Multnomah Books, 2006
Great work...
This book is truly a great one as C.J. Mahaney brings it all back to the cross. A lot of this book includes previous works, "The Cross Centered Life" and "Christ Our Mediator." I also had just listened to C.J.'s sermon from the 2005 Resolved Conference called "Interrogating the Legalist Within" so most of this was review. But if you have yet to read or listen to these, please pick this little ...

The Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel The Main Thing30 reviews
C.J. Mahaney
Multnomah Books, 2002
Cross Eyed Christians
God has once again given Mahaney the gift to properly exhort the Christian to do everything in life in view of the Cross of Christ. If your not a Cross Eyed Christian, you may not be a Christian at all. This book will help develop the Cross-Eyed mentality we all need to live out the profession of our lips.

Sage Advice for Novice Equestrian
Being a novice rider who has been interested in zen methods and meditations for years, I would have bought this book even if it contained only this one piece of advice that I've seen in no other publication. The advice: Ask someone to check your posture while you're sitting on the horse, looking at you from behind because one side is usually stronger than the other and the stronger side tends to ...

An ECE thumbs up!
I have had the pleasure and opportunity to have had Ms. Wurm work as my program's consultant this year. Reading "Working in the Reggio Way A Beginners Guide for Teachers" really brings all of the theory and practice that Julie Lives, Walks and Breathes! I found this book to be "People Friendly" and a hard one to put down! This book really empowers ECE teachers in creating our own "Reggio Way" ...

Culture and Mental Illness: A Client-Centered Approach2 reviews
Richard J. Castillo
Wadsworth Publishing, 1996
My Favorite Book on Multicultural Psychology
I bought this book years ago when it first came out. It remains my favorite text on multicultural psychology, and it has plenty of clinical insights that I've never found elsewhere. Apparently, it didn't become a classic, but it SHOULD have, along with it's companion, "Meanings of Madness." I think it is just a little too brilliant and insightful to fit easily into the standard, stale ...
