Hawk or Dove: Read this book
The man knows whereof he speaks. I'm always interested in questioning assumptions; this book is guaranteed to shake up the way you think about war. Take a chance. If you don't want to read it you can listen to Mr Hedges reading it to you, Tantor has it in mp3 format. In a way, listening to him read his own work offers something extra.

If You Give a Child This Book...You Will Have Hours of Fun Together
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a modern classic, beloved by children everywhere. It is also a book that teaches about sequential action and consequence. For example, if you give a mouse a cookie, he is going to ask for a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he will probably ask for straw. As the book continues, the drink leads to a napkin, which leads to a mirror (to check for a ...

Excellent way to learn American History.
I am a foreign student, and this is the first time that I study American History. The Seagull Edition of this book is great because it has all the written information and appendix from the regular volume and it costed less than half. Some people might miss the colored pictures, the maps or the extra margens to right notes, but this edition fitted my budget and i am enjoying it anyway. ...

Dr. Seuss's Successor
If you could name one factor that helped me to fall in love with teaching once again, it would probably come from reading 'If You Give a Pig a Pancake' to a preschooler. While there were other factors for sure, this is not a hyperbole, for I know of no other top reason to fall in love with teaching better than with Laura Numeroff and her whimsical set of cyclical stories. My only regret is that ...

I didn't know that reading this book would change how I live my life
This was required for college and read several chapters before dropping the class because of an inferior professor, while there maybe several stories and versions of what happened in American History, the one thing that has changed my life from reading this book is that, people who call people by other names (not referring to nicknames) is traced back to the slave period when slave owners ...

INCREDIBLE
Okay, so I havent actually read the book but Cameron Sinclair came to my school a month ago to give a lecture based on the book. It was one of the most motivating and perspective changing experiences that Ive ever had. It gave me a totally new perspective on architecture. People in studio were pinning up signs on their boards that said "Design Like You Give a Damn." Cameron Sinclair is an amazing ...

Paul H Brookes Publishing, 2008

A MUST read...
It's hard to decide what I love most about this book. Throughout the book Kluth and Schwartz combine three essential elements for working with All children: Respecting difference, challenging assumptions, and empowering learners. From the cover to the last page they get the reader thinking about the biases that influence how we view children(they're fascinations, not obssessions!) and they ...

Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by You? (Second Edition)

Jordan Paul, Margaret Paul

Hazelden, 2002

A profound, important, and implication-rich book
For me this book is one of the most profound and important books I have ever read about relationships and communication. Although it is written as a book about marital relationships, it has implications for every kind of relationship, and not only intimate or dyadic ones. And, although it is written as a pop psychology book, I think it makes a real contribution to the social-scientific ...

Prometheus Books, 2008

Clear, engaging, enjoyable
This is an outstanding book. Each chapter is conversational, clear, and thoughtful. Rather than being heated and dogmatic, it is open, calm, and reasonable. I often think that anti-religion books just say the same arguments over and over, making the same old critiques, etc. -- and yet I found a lot of new material and novel insights in this book, and there were many ideas, concepts, arguments, ...

A Close Look at School Violence
Middletown High School seems a school like any other. There are athletes, especially football players, who feel like they own the place. In some cases they are right; the teachers treat them with a different set of standards and allow them to get away with more than anyone else. There are lots of regular kids and at the other end of the spectrum from the football crowd are the students who are ...

The Don'T-Give-Up Kid and Learning Differences

Verbal Images Press, 1996

differences
I notice that some reviews refer to ADD and some refer to LD. The author writes of learning differences which could apply to children with different problems. I really like the way she writes. It is warm and from the heart. It helps put labels aside and look at the child and what the child can do. Another book that does that is Whoa Wiggle-worm which addresses name calling (by adults and ...

The amount and depth of material in the text is quite exceptional. The book includes chapter review pages, suggested readings and documents and tables. It also includes a generous amount of primary source documents, drawings and photographs, color ...
