The Real Life of Sebastian Knight (New Directions Paperbook)

9 reviews
Vladimir Nabokov

New Directions, 2008

My Brother, Myself
This exquisitely written novel fills one with despair. It is a sadness that was perhaps felt by many after such rare and creative geniuses as Mozart, Van Gogh, Shubert, and Gershwin all died too young after such short careers. Some of these men, like Sebastian Knight, died in relative obscurity. Sebastian's half-brother, the narrator of this novel, enters upon a journey to uncover the last ...

Lyn Peterson's Real Life Kitchens
What great timing for me to find this book! I had just begun plans to renovate my kitchen and everything I need to know is in this book! Questions about little details that I knew would trip me up later -- they are all covered. There are so many decisions to be made when renovating a kitchen, it's pretty overwhelming. This book covers all the bases. Nice photos and layout too.

The Center for Applied Research in Education, 1994

A necessity for any Physics or Physical Science teacher.
This book is packed with dozens of demonstrations and lab activities for every physics concept taught in the upper grades 7-12. Can be used to supplement the textbook or on its own. Each section (Ex: Electricity) has a brief 1-2 page overview, followed by real life examples and activities to understand the concepts.

Real Life Math Mysteries

Mary F. Washington

Prufrock Press, 1995

Finally! Real math from real people in the real world.
Everywhere I go, teachers are using this book in their classrooms, and looking for more by the same author. The math problems are easy to comprehend, the words are true, and 4th-12th grade students who use the book quickly get an understanding of just how useful math is going to be. There's a truck driver, an archeologist, a lawyer, a farmer, a nurse, a veterinarian, a pizza cook, and an arson ...

Michael W. Foss

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2004

Discipleship spelled out
I am a pastor and was looking for a practical resource that could be recommended to laity within the church. Michael Foss has created a very user friendly guide to spiritual disciplines that takes the mystery out of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. Each mark of discipleship has its own chapter, and each chapter is broken down into smaller sections that are convenient for individual reflection ...

Real Life at the White House: 200 Years of Daily Life at America's Most Famous Residence

16 reviews
Claire Whitcomb

Routledge, 2002

Great research; fascinating stories
Former White House curator Clement Conger calls this one of the best White House books he's read. White House scholar William Seale also endorses it. I found it full of fasincating stories that really show what it was like for forty families to live in one house over 200 years.

3 reviews
James F. Silver

Jossey-Bass, 2001

Excellent Teaching Tool
This is an excellent book. It really has a ton of very useful, practical activities that can be used in any classroom. One of the best parts about this book is the sheer number of activities that include technical documents, which can be hard to find, and even harder to write test-prep questions for. Section 1, Reading for Deeper Meaning helps students read technical documents for main ideas, ...

Building Real Life English Skills

1 review
Carolyn Morton Starkey, Norgina Wright Penn

McGraw-Hill Contemporary, 2001

Hey, if it can get MY kids interested, it must be good!
I am currently using this book with my special ed Juniors. They initially were (as usual) unreceptive, but are actually getting into it now. Most of my kids won't go to college and won't need to be able to conjugate verbs or locate the object of the preposition, but they will need to fill out applications, search want ads and read prescription medication. I love this book and really like the ...

Real Life in Castro's Cuba (Latin American Silhouettes)

12 reviews
Catherine Moses

SR Books, 2002

Remember folks - Moses lived it - you didn't!!!!
I appreciate the reviewers who understand the book for what it is - not a political piece but a piece from the heart. The snobbery displayed by some of the reviewers just serves to further show the naivete of most Americans with regards to Cuba, or other foreign cultures, for that matter. If you are Cuban, or of Cuban decent, as I am, the accounts in this book are glimpses into the lives of ...

Real Life Romance: Everyday Wisdom on Love, Sex, and Relationships

2 reviews
Leah Garchik

Chronicle Books, 2007

From Rebecca Emerick
like all great humorous writers, from Flannery O'Conner to Peg Bracken, Leah Garchik has a perked-up ear for the unintentially hilarious and weirdly profound. These overheard snatches of everyday insight compose a socialogically revealing book, more profound than it's pink cover would suggest. A great gift for just about anybody

Andi Ashworth's Real Love for Real Life is an excellent treatment of the Christian call to hospitality. Subtitled "the Art and Work of Caring," the book is of particular encouragement to those who are serving as caregivers on a full-time basis. In a world that pushes efficiency, speed and uniformity, Ashworth fights for the personal touch, for giving others our time and energy. Through her ...

You've saved me!
Lyn Peterson, you are brilliant! Your new book, Real Life Renovating is incredibly informative while being so readable, I feel like I know the renovation survivors you described. And like some of those survivors, I found renovating has been a test on the marriage... But thanks to your creative ideas - and the trade tips (!)- you not only saved our drab old house, you saved a marriage!! Your book ...

Breeder: Real-Life Stories from the New Generation of Mothers

57 reviews

Seal Press, 2001

Read this
I can't get over the guilt or whining of some of the soccer moms. The majority of the parenting books cater to YOU! This book was a refreshing anthology of different mamas, different breeders. I usually buy this book and _Mothers Who Think_ for my pregnant friends under about 35. I think this book speaks to various people and not just the mini-van crowd, who have shelves of books to choose from ...

Just Another Day in My Insanely Real Life

Barbara Dee

Aladdin, 2007

A Great Read for Girls (and for the rest of us, too)
There are kids' books I've read as an adult that I've liked but am pretty sure I wouldn't have liked when I was ten or eleven. Then there are kids books that I like and I know I would have devoured when I was eleven. This is one of them. Before her father left, Cassie's family lived in a nice house, Cassie was on the swim team, had two best friends and the life of your average middle class, ...
