I can see the light after reading this book
After reading this book the light was definetly turned on. It is very easy to read and explains every step for implementing this in your classroom. I love how it teaches students to become independent and gives the teacher an oportunity to work one on one or in small groups.

Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence188 reviews
Joe Dominguez, Vicki Robin
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999
your money or your life
Excellent book-the book expresses my philosophy on money more than any that I have every read. I reread my copy often and have given many, many copies as gifts-great for the new graduate and your married couple especially. Not difficult to read and grasp compared to many books of this type.
I recommend it highly.

Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth70 reviews
Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi, Mahadev H. Desai
Beacon Press, 1993
A life changing book
This is easily the most powerful book I have ever read. Gandhi does a great job of telling the story in his life in such a way that not only tells a story, but teaches lessons that go along with it. The title explains a lot, considering that Gandhi considered his entire life to be an expirement with the truth.
He is very open about the mistakes that were made (such as his marraige and bigotry ...

Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil45 reviews
Robert Zubrin
Prometheus Books, 2007
Victory through ingenuity
Gas is $3.80. OPEC continues to bleed us. The Saudi's continue to export radical Islam financed by our oil dollars. Environmentalist continue to obstruct. To counter these factors Zubrin lays out a solid, cogent plan utilizing METHANOL not corn based ETHANOL. This plan uses existing technology not pie in the sky maybe here in 10 years hopes and dreams.

Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence 20 reviews
Robert Bryce
PublicAffairs, 2008
Energy Independence Should Not be the Goal
Gusher of Lies is dead on when it comes to the current state of not only the energy realities in the U.S. but the world as well. The global infrastructure was designed to run on fossil fuels and not on ethanol or alternative forms of energy. While the world's energy use could and must certainly become more efficient, it is a farce to believe that oil will become less important in the decades to ...

The Renewable Energy Handbook: A Guide to Rural Energy Independence, Off-Grid and Sustainable Living14 reviews
William H. Kemp
Aztext Press, 2006
To be fair...read on...
To be fair, I have not read this book. Why 5 stars? The book is a for-profit venture by the author, so recovery of time, effort, & energy is important for revenue reasons. So why write this review? After spending nearly 12-18 hours perusing AMAZON's book list on solar energy and photovoltaic systems, I was frustrated! None of the reviews on any single book seemed to be convincing enough to make ...

The Complete Tightwad Gazette208 reviews
Amy Dacyczyn
Villard, 1998
Applicable even now
Written from 1990-1996, this complete Tightwad Gazette is a little dated in some areas. I laughed when she talks about saving money on encyclopedia sets, or writing off to a company to get more info. LOL. The internet has truly changed how we do things. However dated, the overal strategy to saving money and being frugal applies. I've gotten so many ideas that are usable today. I've already cut my ...

Almost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence24 reviews
John Ferling
Oxford University Press, USA, 2007
A Great Read!
I'm just an average person who read this book to become more familiar with a topic that I last studied in high school many years ago. I'm not an historian. This book is well written, interesting to read, easy to understand and a complete package. It covers both the highlights and the low points of both the war and the war's participants. Even George Washington gets criticized. My only ...

Five Acres and Independence 21 reviews
Maurice G. Kains
Dover Publications
Classic
I've owned this book for over 30 years. I had a copy, loaned it out, didn't get it back, and bought another. It is essentially a compendium of articles. Though some are dated, most have at least one piece of useful information for those wishing to try pre-chemical farming.

Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder and How You Can Too45 reviews
Jenni Schaefer, Thom Rutledge
McGraw-Hill, 2003
Excellent Resource
I find this book an excellent resource for anyone who has an eating disorder or knows somebody who does. It offered me an insight into what my ED daughter is feeling and battling internally and gave me very practical ideas on how to support her and talk with her. She uses the same approach that Jenni uses and talks back to the emotional 'voice' that an ED can present and this approach is ...

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America27 reviews
Cato Institute, 2000
Great pocket sized copy of America's great documents
These words have inspired not one nation, but many. Carry them with you. This publication is about the size of a wallet with a durable bind. I could do without the Cato Institute's preface, but its only a page, and otherwise the text is very aesthetically put together.

The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy: Achieving Energy Independence through Solar, Wind, Biomass and ...11 reviews
Dan Chiras
New Society Publishers, 2006
Good review to renewable energy
I found this book to be more satisfying that the author's more popular book, "The Solar House". Of course, they aren't functional substitutes for each other. This book goes deeper into renewable energy systems available to address the energy needs of residential buildings and related topics. I appreciate his discussion on conservation, the breakdown of the energy consumption of a 'typical' ...

Millionaire by Thirty: The Quickest Path to Early Financial Independence 8 reviews

Business Plus, 2008
Not a typical financial book.
Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for [...]
Let's face it. Most of us have a goal that in some way is connected to money. Douglas R. Andrew, Emron D. Andrew, and Aaron R. Andrew share their vast expertise. The target audience is thirty and under.
My first comments must be that I am over thirty and do not necessarily agree with all of their concepts. I believe in staying out of debt and ...
