The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate

15 reviews
Eugene H. Ehrlich

Collins, 1994

Entertaining and Useful
I received this book as a gift and immediately realized it's not a reference volume. I later noticed that an arrogant neighbor of mine also owns it, and I also noticed his copy appeared not to have been read or otherwise perused. It then occurred to me that, to have real value, a book like this should be USED. I decided to take this book to the office, and every time I write an interoffice ...

The Information-Literate Historian: A Guide to Research for History Students
Jenny L. Presnell

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

In the past, historians could rely on their basic understanding of bibliographic tools to do effective research, as resources were primarily available in print, on microform, or at a library. Today, the information explosion resulting from access to the Internet has complicated traditional research methods by heightening expectations and raising new questions about retrieving, using, and presenting information. The Information-Literate ...

9 reviews
Anais Nin, Henry Miller

Harvest Books, 1989

The Language of Sexual Liberation
Whatever you may think of her writing, Anaïs Nin was definitely a femme fatale. Henry Miller was, he claimed, the "happiest man alive." Together, Nin and Miller created a literary language for sexual fulfillment; she in a diary whose original form still remains unpublished, he in novels banned in both the United States and England until court cases in the early 1960s permitted their publication ...

Shaping Literate Minds: Developing Self-Regulated Learners
If you are looking for a way to increase knowledge comprehension across curriculums, this book is the beginning.

Very Easy True Stories: A Picture-Based First Reader

Sandra Heyer

Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1998

Maliha from Bangladesh, 3rd grade
I read all the stories in my Very Easy True Stories book. My favorite story was Help! I Can't Find My Apartment. It was about a boy losing his apartment. He forgot which way to go and he didn't like his old place where he used to live. I like it because it was interesting and good and shows what to do when you get lost. All the stories tell what people said when they read it in the newspaper. I ...

The Literate Kindergarten: Where Wonder and Discovery Thrive

1 review
Susan L Kempton

Heinemann, 2007

Childhood and Literacy Learning Can Coexist!
I had the opportunity to observe in Sue's room several years back and was struck by the wondrous balance she maintained as she honored and celebrated childhood while nurturing literacy learning. I have been watching and waiting for this book, doubtful she could ever capture the essence of her practice in words. Sue Kempton is a master teacher and she has proven to be a master of language, as ...

Grateful - The Songs of John Bucchino

John Bucchino

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000

Warning - Grateful key different from CD
I'm sorry to say, I ordered this songbook before visiting the composer's Website, expressly to get my hands on the sheet music for "Grateful" in time for a Thanksgiving church service. I haven't checked the other songs, but it is inaccurate to say that the piano accompaniment as written in this book is exactly as it is on the CD. Fortunately, the composer offers transposed versions, including ...

The Highly Selective Dictionary For The Extraordinarily Literate

17 reviews
Eugene H. Ehrlich

Collins, 1997

Great for beginnings and endings
This is not a thesaurus for run of the mill word replacement, but it is exceptional at providing snappy starts or intriguing ending for articles. The key to attracting a reader is capturing him with the opening sentence or paragraph, and the right word can help with this. This book provides those eye catching entries, as well as providing words or phrases that wrap up thoughts and elements in ...

Eugene Ehrlich

Collins, 2002

Ideal for those who want to expand their vocabulary
All philologists - people who love literature and the english language - will find this to be a very interesting and useful book. It helps you learn new words and provides their etymology, pronunciation and several sentences. Unlike many other vocabulary books where your not quite sure how to use the words you learn; this book makes it a lot easier. I also recommend: "There's a word for it!" by ...

Cambridge University Press, 1986

Good Application of Research
Richard Bauman presents a collection of essays that employ the use of performance theory. He analyzes a range of topics, and my favorite essays deal with tall tales and narratives told by coon-hunters in Texas. The work is solid scholarship, and he provides empirical ways of researching and interpreting various forms of verbal expression. The collection may be most useful as models for ...
