The Digital Photography Book 510 reviews
Scott Kelby
Peachpit Press, 2006
Excellent book in a great series
Very clear and concise solutions for clearly described special and not so special situation. Warning: it made me order a lot of extra equipment in order to try out many of the same things the author describes. You will learn a lot of tricks and develop a closer personal relationship to your photographic equipment. The time I spend with mine has increased dangerously. Highly recommended.

Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
required reading for the US president
What a moving and powerful story. Greg Mortensen transforms his passion for different cultures (he grew up in Tanzania), his drive to achieve difficult goals (climbing K2), and his sense of responsibility (to his disabled younger sister) into a gigantic project: building schools for the children of the mountainous border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In the process, he has countless ...

The Daily Five: Fostering Literacy Independence in the Elementary Grades46 reviews
Gail Boushey, Joan Moser
Stenhouse Publishers, 2006
what a difference
My district has used a reading and writing workshop approach for at least ten years. This book has truly helped me to step back and take the time needed at the beginning of the year to establish strong routines. I don't believe the information is new, it is just laid out in a consise, reader friendly manner. My students are much more on-task and quiet during literacy work times. The "first 25 ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)2390 reviews
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
Surprisingly romantic and exciting
When I first heard all the hype about Twilight I thought, "A book about vampires? Not my thing!" Boy was I wrong! Of course, I never thought that books about wizards was my thing either, until I gave it a try.
I'm a mom of 4 kids. My oldest daughter convinced me to read this after she read all four of the series and showed me trailer for the movie online. I decided to read it before I went to ...

I wont go into the details of this book since Im sure that by reading the thousands of reviews on here your either by now interested or not.

Peg Tyre

This Book Really Matters And Should Be Required Reading For Every Public School Teacher in America
I found this book to be very interesting. I don't have a son, but three of my closest friends each have boys the same age, three women who don't even know each other. One is white, the other is black, and the third is Hispanic, living in different parts of the country, with different levels of education and career success. I have bought copies of this book for each woman, although now their ...

Must Read
Book 2 of the Twilight series kept my attention as much as the first book. It's a must if you really enjoyed the first book. You get to see the relationship between Bella and Jacob blossom. I couldn't put it down.

Kaplan GRE Exam 2009 Premier Program (w/ CD-ROM) (Kaplan Gre Exam (Book & CD-Rom))18 reviews
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2008
Delivery
Well, since feedback came timely, I have to say that my book got shredded by my labrador retriever as soon as it got delivered. Lyla was in the garage due to re-modeling at the back of the house. Perhaps packages of this magnitude should be confirmed upon delivery, perhaps not.
Thank you!
Best wishes,

A Thought-provoking, Original Story
Lois Lowry's The Giver has just made my top-ten list of favorite books. Although I am a senior in college, this is the first time I have ever delved into the intriguing world of The Giver, and I found it fascinating.
The story revolves around a young boy named Jonas. Jonas has grown up in a supposedly perfect society where no one experiences pain or suffering and no one has to make their own ...

This is a good book if you are preparing for your certification exam, but please keep in mind that this has to be a supplement to the PMBOK and cannot be used to clear the exam on its own. This has to read with the PMBOK to get maximum benifits.

Excellent Preparation Book for the GMAT
It has been seven years since I have been out of college. My math skills are very rusty. The Quanative Review is the best book to get because it is written by the GMAT Staff. Each question comes with an explanation of how the problem is solved. The book is broken down into sections with complete explanations.
I am not good at math at all and there are over 300 problems to solve from basic ...
