Even women should read
This book is even a good read for women. I have shared it with women who have any type of relationship with men. Okay, so thats all of us. It did have some places that I questioned, of course that may be because I am a female. It gives us an insight into the way men work, or dont work. It really is a good read for anyone...

James I. Charlton

University of California Press, 1998

Excellent Book on Disability Issues
This is a well written, thoroughly researched work dealing with the treatment of disabled people in various cultures. The book explores the impact of religious institutions, charities, schools and various other institutions on how the disabled are treated. It also does a remarkable job of explaining how consciousness needs to change in order for progress to be made. It is an extremely thought ...

Wonderful Gift
Kevin Sheehan has simplified the great qualities of important leaders and placed them in an entertaining text. A gift which I have passed on to my dearest friends, this book is both inspirational and educational. My highest recommendation.

Get It Together: Math Problems for Groups Grades 4-12

6 reviews
Tim Erickson

EQUALS/ Lawrence Hall of Science, 2005

Fabulous teaching tool!
Erickson's book (as well as "United We Solve") is a fabulous tool for teachers of math (as well as some social sciences). The activities are for small groups and the "rules" for solving the problems make it a good basis for evaluating both individual and group work. I use these activities with my third and fourth graders, but the activities are also good for much older students. The topics ...

Family Math (Equals Series)

University of California, Berkeley, Lawrence, 1986

Fun ways to help your children love math
I hate math. Memories of trying to understand long division in fourth grade can still make me squirm. Algebra was a lost year of my life - I had no idea what the teacher was talking about. Wouldn't you just guess I'd end up with a son who could add two digit numbers in his head before he started kindergarten? (I'm over 40 and I still can't do it very well) He even thought it was fun to do so. ...

Wish I had sooner
This book has many great ideas for the small business person that I wish I had before I started my business. For example, just how to pick a name for the company or how to look like a big company without spending a fortune. The book provides examples from people who have done it and adds credibility to the content. I recommend for all businesses but especially fo the smaller business and ...

Separate, But Equal: The Mississippi Photographs of Henry Clay Anderson

5 reviews
Henry Clay Anderson, Shawn Wilson, ..., 2002

An Unexplored History
Separate But Equal is a unique gem. A combination of historic photographs and personal essays, it chronicles the lives of an African American working middle-class living in the Mississippi Delta during the years of segregation. H.C. Anderson snapped the deceptively simple but beautiful photographs, and they are a revelation. Through the lens of his camera, he documented a segregated but proud ...

Born Free and Equal: The Manzanar Photographs of Ansel Adams, from the Library of Congress Collection

5 reviews
Ansel Adams, Wynne Benti

Spotted Dog Pr Inc, 2007

A fascinating look at this historical tragedy
In the autumn of 1943, the eminently talented photographer Ansel Adams traveled to the Relocation Center at Manzanar, California. This was one of the camps where the United States government relocated (some would say "imprisoned") the many people of Japanese descent who lived in the western, Military Zone 1, so that they could not assist Imperial Japan in its war against the United States. Among ...

Created Equal: Why Gay Rights Matter to America

4 reviews
Michael Nava, Robert Dawidoff

St. Martin's Griffin, 1995

Outstanding Book
This is one of the most thought-provoking books on any "morality" subject that I have ever read. The authors are very clear in explaining the difference between 'special' vs. 'equal' rights. It is unfortunate that the audience for this book will be almost exclusively gay. It is one that EVERYONE should read. If you buy it, pass it on to a friend. If you have straight friends, buy them a ...

Why Women Earn Less: How to Make What You're Really Worth

Mikelann R. Valterra

Career Press, 2004

An Action Guide to Stop Underearning
I inadvertently came across Mikelann's site while surfing the internet. She used a term "underearning" which I had never seen before. When I read the description, I thought she had a pipeline into my life, and wanted to break the cycle I was in. When I heard that she was publishing this book, I couldn't wait to read it. In each chapter, she dispels the myths, pulls you out of "The Money Fog" ...

Working women in Japan: Is there equal opportunity?

4 reviews
Gail Buhler, 1991

An excellent book about the Spanish Anarchists.
This is not a book about making bombs. If you read this book you will know what anarchism really is and why it's original meaning has been bastardized. Anarchism is a legitimate and serious political ideology. This book was recommended to me personally by the famous MIT professor and scholar Noam Chomsky. Sam Dolgoff's work is very well documented and insightful. It will give you a peek at what a ...

Equal Treatment for People with Mental Retardation: Having and Raising Children

3 reviews
Martha A. Field, Valerie A. Sanchez

Harvard University Press, 2000

Controversial and convincing
This book puts forth a compelling thesis: The mentally retarded should have full rights to manage their own sexual and reproductive lives. The idea sounds good, but most people would quail at its full implications. Should a severely retarded 15-year-old be allowed to bear a child? What about situations where parents fear a daughter might suffer from rape in an institution? Should they have the ...

Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action (Contributions in Sociology)

Frederick R. Lynch

Greenwood Press, 1989

Affirmative Genocide
Frederick Lynch has done an excellent job of exposing the US Democratic party's betrayal of its's white electorate in enforcing Affirmative Discrimination without a mandate. The lives of an entire generation of white American males were severly damaged by this evil and unjustified racial engineering program.Lynch goes on to ponder the seeming conspiracy of silence among the mass media and their ...

The Case of the Legless Veteran

3 reviews
James Kutcher

Anchor Foundation, 1973

McCarthy era - not all was doom and gloom: some fought back!
A really good gift for someone who likes biographies with some fascinating (and makes-you-proud-to-have-a-backbone) social content. James Kutcher, young socialist militant comes back from the war with no legs - and then Veterans Affairs fires him for his political views. His parents are faced with losing their subsidized apartment because of their son, but stick by him. And he tours the union ...

Fair Isn't Always Equal: Assessing & Grading In the Differentiated Classroom

4 reviews
Rick Wormeli

Stenhouse Publishers, 2006

Summer Reading for Teachers (or Weekend Reading, If Summer's Over!)
Just out in 2006, Rick Wormeli's FAIR ISN'T ALWAYS EQUAL has the latest research on teaching (especially middle and high school) pulled together nicely in one 200-page package. For me, a lot of it was necessary review and reaffirmation of differentiated instruction, standards-based instruction, and various strategies I've read about but haven't gotten around to using. For beginning teachers or ...

Equal Or Greater Force: Developing The Proper Mindset In Order To Confront And Survive A Violent Criminal Or ...

3 reviews
Kit Cessna

Authorhouse, 2004

The best book yet on personal defense reality.
Kit Cessna, Delta Force veteran and one of the US's top defense professionals, lays out the real story of personal defense. Sacred cows are sacrificed as he tells you why the "bad guys" indeed are "bad" as well as why popular nonviolent defense techniques are almost guaranteed to help the criminals. This book is a "must" for Americans, including women, who live and work in a potentially ...

Democracy Reborn: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Fight for Equal Rights in Post-Civil War America

3 reviews
Garrett Epps

Holt Paperbacks, 2007

Great Book
This book tells the story of the constitutional transformation wrought by the Civil War, culminating in the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment. The focus of the book is on the time after Lincoln's assasination until Congress' passage of the Fourteenth Amendment to be ratified by the States. Although this time period, and the story told in the book, has been the focus of many scholarly articles ...

Stephen M. Kohn

Quorum Books, 2000

Whistleblower Lesson #1 - Buy this book TODAY!
If you're a whistleblower, and you are not familiar with Concepts and Procedures in Whistleblower Law by Mr. Kohn, you are at a serious disadvantage already. I had no idea what I was up against. I was getting clobbered by the system at every turn. The information in this book evens the playing field quickly. Mr. Kohn leads you through the maze of mistakes that you're going to make, and allows you ...

3 reviews
Lester B. Snyder

Vandeplas Publishing, 2007

A Real Eye Opener
This book really opened my eyes. I never fully understood how unfairly people of the same income status were taxed. Snyder's explanation of the gross inequities in our tax system is excellent, and I would call this book "required reading" for every freshman Senator and Congressman, as well as the ordinary taxpayer. Lori Shactman Plaistow, N.H.

Environmental Leadership Equals Essential Leadership: Redefining Who Leads And How

4 reviews
John C. Gordon, Joyce K. Berry

Yale Univ Pr

Excellent new book for professionals
Every environmental professional who has to lead (which is all of us, at some point) should read this well-crafted little book. The premise, that others can learn from the contemporary practical experience of Dr. Gordon and Dr. Berry, as well as of their colleagues, is sound. The book explains the essential skills for current practice, why these skills are important, and how to develop them. ...
