Rafe Esquith

Viking Adult, 2007

A Great Book for Teachers and Teaching Students
My name is Lydia and I read it as part of an assignment for my teaching education classes. I loved this book. Esquith makes the classroom come alive in real life and on paper and his rebuke of traditional teaching is swift and precise. His students are different and think about learning differently because he teaches differently. While his all out style is not for every teacher you can ...

How Do Dinosaurs Clean Their Rooms?21 reviews
Jane Yolen

Blue Sky Press, 2004

Lives up to the standard set by the bigger books
The full-size "How Do Dinosaurs..." books (Eat Their Food, Go To Bed, Get Well Soon, Go To School) are wonderful and fun, and this book follows in that mold. The story doesn't seem much shorter than in the bigger books, and has the same great rhyming cadence even though the words are more than the usual one-syllable words. It is fun for parents to read as well as children! The ...

For instance, Why did Murder rates drop in New York City....was it the police - NO....You must buy the book to find out.

Jeanne Martinet

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

Worth Every Penny, Invaluable Advice For Mingling & Making New Friends!
I am a friendly, professional, outgoing person, who isn't shy around friends, but put me in a room full of people I have never met before, and like so many others, I become a complete -- "Minglephobe"! I freeze up and immediately take physical inventory of all possible exits while the mind is grasping to retrieve all possible excuses that might be believable enough to give me the reprieve I ...

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Official Guides to the Appalachian Trail)959 reviews
Bill Bryson

Broadway, 1999

ridiculous, but it inspired me
I had a long history as a streetwalker. Yes, a streetwalker. But, I never had even spent the night outdoors. However, when I read Bill Bryson's book I immediately decided I wanted to thru-hike the entire 2,175 mile trail. There is a lot of criticism on the AT about Bryson's book, but one thing is undeniable. With his mass following and inimitable humor, he inspired legions of previous hiking ...

The best activity book
I'm a peer facilitator, and this is definitely the best group activity book that I've used. I've always gotten the best response from the activities in this book...they seem to be the most fun for the kids to do, while still teaching important lessons. The book is also very easy to read and understand. My fellow Peer facilitators and I have about 25 different activity books to choose from, and ...

Sailing Alone Around the Room: New and Selected Poems73 reviews
Billy Collins

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002

Poetry for the rest of us!
Billy Collins' "Sailing Alone Around the Room" is a treasure. If there is one book of poetry I would hand to someone who has never read poetry, this would be the one. Collins conversational approach is accessible but has incredible depth and heart at the same time. He's kind of like a favorite funny uncle who just happens to be a world renowned writer. You get the sense that he can hold his own ... 		  
  







  
  
Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading100 reviews
Alexander Elder

Wiley, 2002

Review from a professional Forex trader
Simply the finest book on trading I have read to date. I credit this book with being a large part of why I went from consistently losing on trades, to consistently making profits. I think that traders in any market would benefit from this book, and if you don't learn valuable lessons from this book you simply aren't trying. The sections on triple screen trading are worth the price of admission ... 		  
  







  
  
Good in a Room: How to Sell Yourself (and Your Ideas) and Win Over Any Audience13 reviews
Stephanie Palmer

Doubleday Business, 2008

For everyone - not just sales, not just business
We don't often see everyone giving a book 5 stars - this one deserves it. The other reviewers have touched on some of the important points in the book, don't assume that you can extrapolate and get all the benefits just by reading the reviews - read, re-read, and study this book! Although the book is focused on business applications specifically sales and moving up the corporate ladder - its ... 		  
  







  
  
To the Lighthouse169 reviews
Virginia Woolf, Eudora Welty (Introduction)

Harvest Books, 1989

An insightful, sensitive reading.
The idea of Virginia Woolf's fiction being read aloud effectively has struck me as an impossibility. The very interiority of Woolf's style seemed to suggest that readers hear the narrative voice within themselves. This reading proves me dead wrong. Virginia Leishman's reading--and interpretation--added much to my passion for a novel I have always loved. Readers--and listeners--new to Virigina ...

James Patterson

Vision, 2005

He has done it once again.....
ALL of the "Alex Cross" books by James Patterson are exciting reads....I can never seem to put one of his books down! That is the only downfall to reading his books....you better have an entire day once you start one, because you will NOT be able to stop!
