Wrox, 2008

Content Management in Depth
WCM (Web Content Management) is becoming a "hot" item in many MOSS deployments. I should also clarify that this book is focused on WCM as opposed to ECM (Enterprise Content Management), as this seems to be a confusing topic for some. So it is mainly for those looking for working with the publishing infrastructure within MOSS (replacing MCMS - Microsoft Content Management Server), not with the ...

Cliffs Notes, 2006

Good study guide...
I just completed the mathematics PraxisII exam and found the exam to be very straightforward and almost pathetically easy. Everything you need to know for the exam is covered in this study guide (and then some). The actual exam is slightly harder than the practice tests given in the study guide, but not drastically harder (as some reviewers here have suggested). The particular test I took had a ...

Pearson Allyn and Bacon, 2003

When they don't understand English
This is a must book for anyone who has to teach a content area to students who are learning English, whose home language is other than English. It provides an excellent instrument for self-evaluation, if one is the content-area teacher. I highly recommend it to all teachers who have English language learners in their classrooms. Nowadays, that is almost ALL teachers, K-16.

Gerry McGovern

A&C Black, 2007

Oh, so simple. Oh, so complicated. Oh, so absolutely worthwhile....
Gerry McGovern's "Killer Web Content" *seems* to be a primer about writing "killer content." And it is. He talks about simple ideas (e.g., "killer, not filler," or, on the Net, "in self-service mode, people go on gut instinct") in simple sentences, with lots of words in red so you get the idea. Then you put those ideas all together and think about them. And *then* you start looking at ...

Cory Doctorow

Tachyon Publications, 2008

Cory's book is a great resource on DRM and copyright problems.
I've read or seen most of the material in this book online and am a big fan of Cory's work. I thought this would be a great resource to have instead of a bunch of print outs or bookmarks. Cory Doctorow has some of the best thought out arguments against DRM and for digital freedoms, pointing out tons of interesting historical examples along the way. Great read!
