This book gave a comprehensive overview of the issues facing national science standards. Not only did it go over the history of standards, but it delved into the complex issues of teacher participation, community support, and school support equipment. I really enjoyed the organization of the book. it was divided into very coherent and logical arrangement, which enabled easy understanding ... 		  
  







  
  
National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition44 reviews

National Geographic, 2006

National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America--a review.
This book is first-rate. I tend to favor wildlife books that depict their subjects in paintings and drawings, rather than photos, and this book is rich in mini-masterpieces. I haven't yet gotten into bird-watching, but the book transcends those who use this as a field guide. Now I can sit in the comfort of my den and enjoy all the glory of Nature's bird treasures. Whether one likes to explore ...

David B. Magleby, David M. O'Brien, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

Great Intro to American Politics Textbook
Excellent intro to politics text. I highly recommend it for a classroom or for anyone really who wants to sit down with a plain-spoken piece to get you to understand our government. Whether it is for someone with little knowledge as to who this vast bureaucracy works, or for someone with a fairly good knowledge of it all - I don't think it will disappoint. I think what I appreciated the most was ...

National Geographic

National Geographic, 2004

Incredible Family Resource
I've had the new atlas for 60 days and find myself looking something up every 2-3 days. It's really been fun looking up remote places like Palmyra Atoll, Kerguelen Island, the Fly River and other obscure places I read about. And now I've found an interesting use for the password protected online atlas as well. The online Atlas gives you high-resolution access to all the Atlas map plates. You ... 		  
  







  
  
The National Board Certification Workbook, Second Edition: How to Develop Your Portfolio and Prepare for the ...7 reviews
Adrienne Mack-Kirschner

Heinemann, 2005

Excellent--just be sure the information is as current as two others..."
Very helpful, but I'm not too sure how up to date the information is. Although this book has some excellent sample activities, a much more succinct (and less expensive) work is "So, You Want to Become a National Board Certified Teacher?" (2006 edition). Candidates might want to also sneak a peek at "Mentoring the NBPTS Candidate". While intended for mentors, NBPTS candidates may find some very ...

Best Easy Day Hikes Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks, 2nd (Best Easy Day Hikes Series)3 reviews
Erik Molvar

Falcon, 2007

Very Good for the Money
Its construction is not as durable as one would like for a reference to carry with you while hiking, but what can one expect for that small an asking price? However, the descriptions and maps for each hike are easy to understand--even for the novice hiker. 25 easy hikes are included in the book, with distance, degree of difficulty, time required, and elevation change included. There are no ...

NEC Code book
I thought I was ordering a paperback book,I received a looseleaf book.I don`t know if the mistake is mine or a misprint.I do know that thr NEC Tabs are not a CD Rom, they are sticky back tabs that stick to the page to locate articles in the book quicker.I`m pretty sure I saw "paperback"and I don`t recall seeing "looseleaf".In either case bold print identifying paperback or looseleaf would be most ... 		  
  







  
  
Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards: A Guide for Teaching and Learning
Committee on the Development of an Addendum to the National Science Education Standards on Scientific Inquiry, National Research Council

National Academies Press, 2000

Humans, especially children, are naturally curious. Yet, people often balk at the thought of learning science--the "eyes glazed over" syndrome. Teachers may find teaching science a major challenge in an era when science ranges from the hardly imaginable quark to the distant, blazing quasar. Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards is the book that educators have been waiting for--a practical guide to teaching inquiry and ...

Peter Burian, Bob Caputo

Great book by great authors!
Great book by highly-rated National Geographic photographers! I like the way the book is written, simple and compact, but full of information. Different photographers also give their tips, gives you different perspectives on how you should take a photograph. There is no details, however, like shutter speed, aperture, focal length on the photos in the book. 		  
  







  
  
National Audubon Society Regional Guide to New England (National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England)17 reviews
NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY

Knopf, 1998

Educational Book
This book is amazing!! It is very educational. I like how it has only the plants and animals that are specific to New England. The pictures are clear and the blurbs about the animals and plants have just the right amount of information in them for learning. I also like how it has other aspects like the night sky, geology, climate, ect. and it is well divided into those categories. I use this book ...
