David Keirsey, Marilyn Bates

Prometheus Nemesis Book Company, 1984

Helps to understand yourself
Please Understand Me is an old book on personality and a good book. It helps you to understand the stable personality traits that you cannot change in the Kiersey model of personality which is a lot like the Myers Briggs. All in all an informative read. The Personality Code is another great personality book that's neat because it's more modern and includes a code that lets you go online and ...

The very best!
I am a legal assistant and I use this book constantly! It gives you great strategies to work more efficiently while getting better results. I had no idea how many legal resources there are online! This book tells you which sites are the most reliable and easy to use. It also demystifies annotated legal codes, case digests, state reports and many other research tools. But most importantly it is ...

You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation

Deborah Tannen

Harper Paperbacks, 2001

Exceptionally Researched and Written!
I read this book several years ago and found it well researched, written and easy to understand. Deborah Tannen is a linguist who clearly addresses how and why women and men communicate differently. She explains that women communicate primarily to establish connections and negotiate relationships while men talk as a primary means to preserve independence and to negotiate and maintain status in ...

a great reading/vocabulary resource for science
This book contains a variety of readings and exercises relating to important concepts in the human body, physical, earth, and life sciences. Key words are presented in boldface, and the activities and exercises that follow strengthen vocabulary and concepts presented in the reading.

Moore, Jo Ellen Moore

Evan-Moor Educational Publishers, 1997

A great aid for at-home tutoring
As a former high school teacher turned stay-at-home mom, I love this book. I purchased this to help my son practice his reading and question-answering skills. It's great. He is interested in many of the stories--koalas, alligators and crocodiles, and vampire bats--to name a few. There are at least 5 pages of vocabulary, phonics and short essay type answers required after each story. We ...

Excellent book, very practical for the business professional
I teach organizational behavior classes where we review Myers Briggs and DISC assessments. This book covers Myers Briggs individual types in a straight forward and easy to digest format. It's review of 4 groups of personalities, the Guardians (SJ), Artisans (SP), Rationals (NT), and Idealists (NF), will help on both a professional and personal level. He defines their many traits of temperament ...

Ellin Oliver Keene

Heinemann, 2008

The future of comprehension instruction...
... is beautifully and inspirationally detailed in Ellin Keene's new book, "To Understand". Building effectively on the base of her original work, Mosaic of Thought, Second Edition: The Power of Comprehension Strategy Instruction, Keene spells out the next steps in teaching those comprehension strategies by getting them to always think more deeply, more purposefully, more richly. More so than ...

Like You'd Understand, Anyway: Stories

10 reviews
Jim Shepard

Knopf, 2007

Reflection
The funniest thing happened while reading "Like You'd Understand, Anyway". I didn't like it. I was telling myself how absurd these stories were and I should just put this thing down. I wasn't connecting with the book. The characters were weird and the endings were weirder. After plodding through the book, I found myself thinking about the stories. The tsunami in Alaska, the weird family in The ...

You Can Understand The Bible: A Practical And Illuminating Guide To Each Book In The Bible

11 reviews
Peter Kreeft

Ignatius Press, 2005

Get It Now
I rarely, if ever, make such an urgent plea about a book; but Kreeft has given a panoramic view of the entire Bible brimming with the insight of a man in the grip of a faith that is on fire. For Catholics, the book is great because it covers all the books that we recognize as part of the Old Testament and because the Catholic perspective is evident everywhere. As a graduate student in Biblical ...

Read and Understand Stories and Activities, Grade 1

Norris

Evan-Moor Educational Publishers, 1997

Mostly busy work....
This is one of the few products from Evan-Moor that I have not been pleased with. The emerging-reader stories are very simple and uninteresting, which makes the questions and activities uninteresting as well. If a child is not comprehending what he or she is reading, it is difficult to see how these dull readings and exercises will improve that. If you are trying to improve your child's ...

Let the Reader Understand: A Guide to Interpreting and Applying the Bible

4 reviews
Dan McCartney, Charles Clayton

P & R Publishing, 2002

Well Organized Approach
He starts out with a story about a college ministry that had a couple of students who were sleeping together (unmarried). When the campus minister approaches them with scripture verses that condemn their behavior, their response was "that's your interpretation"....hoping this stuns his readers (I'm not sure it stuns as many today as it would have 10 years ago)...he goes on to establish his ...

Reading People: How to Understand People and Predict Their Behavior--Anytime, Anyplace

Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, Wendy Patrick Mazzarella

Ballantine Books, 2008

An interesting read
I'm a "human behavior junkie" so I read all of these types of books, This one is not too bad. It for sure has some interesting insights. I much prefer Lieberman's YOU CAN READ ANYONE. That book is very practical, and as is his style, not filled with any fluff or psycho-nonsense.

Tekla White

Evan-Moor Educational Publishers, 1999

Worth Every Penny!
This book is fantastic! I have used it for students in grades 3-6 for several years. It is extremely challenging for grade 3 students, but great for those needing enrichment. It is better suited for the target group - grades 4 - 6. The students enjoyed the stories and the activities which followed. It definitely improved their reading skills. The stories are quite interesting. Equally wonderful ...

Read and Understand Science, Grades 2-3

3 reviews

Evan-Moor Educational Publishers, 2002

The do-it-all book!
It is hard to find a science book like this for lower elementary. I did not really want a "textbook" for my 2nd grade homeschooled daughter, but I wanted something more than another science experiment book where I had to do all the explaining. This is very straight forward, requires her to read the information for herself, and includes some kind of experiment with a written exercise. The 27 ...

Why?: Trusting God When You Don't Understand

Anne Graham Lotz

Thomas Nelson, 2005

A Great Read for Those Times You Do Not Understand God
"Why?" is a great read for anyone going through a difficult time when things do not make sense and it appears that God has turned His back on you. The book is around 133 pages long and contains about 13 chapters that are 10 pages each. Each chapter asks a question that starts with the word "Why?" and focuses on a different aspect of trying to make sense of things that do not make sense. ...

Controlling People: How to Recognize, Understand, and Deal with People Who Try to Control You

Patricia Evans

Adams Media, 2003

Insightful
Patricia Evans has done it again. She has written a book that I could not put down. "Controlling People" examines much of the subtle and not so subtle behavior you and I have experienced from others, have felt uncomfortable about and even felt worse because of. I always knew someone in my family was controlling but now I have a greater understanding of the depth of the problem as well as how to ...
