Women's Voices, Feminist Visions: Classic and Contemporary Readings

5 reviews
Janet Lee, Susan Shaw

McGraw-Hill, 2008

Excellent textbook for Intro to Women's Studies
I love this anthology for many reasons and find it ideal for an Intro level WS class. Each chapter begins with an introduction that summarizes the readings and puts them in a context. I expect the intros to be a little overwhelming for my students, but then we take time in class to discuss the key points and break them down to a more manageable level. Each chapter includes at least one essay with ...

Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God Speaks

Priscilla Shirer

Moody Publishers, 2007

Do you want to experience God?
This book is incredible. I took a course using Blackaby's book on Experiencing God and the Lord used it in such a loving way to draw me closer to Him that I took it twice. This book is just like that. What an amazing Lord we have. I would also recommend Calvary Road, He Chose the Cross, On The Anvil, or anything by Beth Moore.

Carol Gilligan

Harvard University Press, 1993

"I get it"
I actually am still reading this book because I am taking my time digesting it all. It's really giving me insight on how women's thoughts and opinions have been influenced from birth. It's helping me validate my own feelings and opinions.

Voices in the Park

DK CHILDREN, 2001

Teacher's dream for teaching voice
This book works on so many levels that I spent an entire week teaching voice to my second graders utilizing this book. We evaluated perspective in both the words and the illustrations. When you study the pictures, you gain a much greater insight to each "sub"-author's perspective, such as whether the trees are bare, or full of flowers, in their point of view. I could go on and on about this ...

A Voice in the Wind (Mark of the Lion #1)

Francine Rivers

Tyndale House Publishers, 1998

Brilliant Historical Fiction!
I generally enjoy a guy's read. In other words, I'm not interested unless the story has guns in it. I confess that, without reading any of her work, I wrote Francine Rivers off as Chick Lit. In my home country, South Africa, she was really the only Christian fiction author available and, as such, I didn't read Christian fiction at all until a friend convinced me to give A Voice In The Wind a ...

Morton Cooper

Wilshire Book Company, 1996

ICLS
I suffer from Spasmodic Dysphonia and after being told by my doctor that the only treatment available was to get Botox shots in my vocal chords every three months, being a singer, I looked for an alternative treatment and found this book. It has helped me to use my voice in such a way as to enable me to speak without my voice cracking much of the time. Surprisingly, this condition doesn't seem ...

Gary E. Kessler

Wadsworth Publishing, 2006

Philosophers: Then and Now.
I liked Voices of Wisdom. This book is a very educational tool. It covers ideas and articles from such philosophers as Jean Paul Sartre, David Hume, Socrates, and etc... The book has a wide variety of ideas, and arguments. This book is good for a student just beginning to learn philosophy. I would be pleased to recommend this book to anyone curious about the subject.

Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village

14 reviews
Laura Amy Schlitz

Candlewick Press, 2007

Excellent choice for a Newbery
Finally, a book worthy of the Newbery. Ms. Schlitz is a librarian who wrote this for some students studying the medieval era. Robert Byrd's vibrant illustrations definitely complement the book. Ms. Schlitz weaves together an history of medieval England with the personal accounts of 23 characters whose lives intertwine. It is not a novel so much as historical fiction in a series of short plays ...

Voice Lessons: Classroom Activities to Teach Diction, Detail, Imagery, Syntax, and Tone

Nancy Dean

Maupin House Publishing, 2000

Great book for HS English teachers!
Voice is perhaps the hardest of the 6 traits to teach. With my sophomore core English students, I would do 1 voice lesson each week for their warm up and it was amazing how much more accessible that vague idea of "voice" came to both myself and my students over the school year. The whole English department at my school uses Voice Lessons...9th grade teachers do a certain number, 10th grade, ...

Discovering Voice: Voice Lessons for Middle and High School

Nancy Dean

Maupin House, 2006

Voice in Middle School Poetry
This is my first year teaching 6th grade language arts (or language arts in general, for that matter), and I began the year most nervous about teaching poetry. I mean, I enjoy poetry, but I've never really been taught how to read poetry, at least not in a deep way. I had ideas for teaching some of the techniques used in poetry (like similes, methaphors, and personification), but I didn't know ...

Henri J. M. Nouwen

Image Books, 1998

Will Use book For PTSD Veterans
An author friend of mine sent me a copy of this book a couple of days ago - she thought it might be of some use in my life or if not mine then I would know someone who might get something from Nouwen's words. Both cases proved true - as with any book that looks inward at the spirit there is always something to feed your search. I found that this book would go well at our new spiritual retreat ...

Dakota Mitchell, Lee Haroun

North Light Books, 2007

Excellent guide for all types of artists
This book has been an inspiration to myself and several of my artist friends. It really helps you focus on your individual style and helps you find techniques that are best suited you personally. The layout is exceptional, and I loved the workbook style which allows you to experiment and use the various information provided by the guest artists. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested ...

From Silence to Voice: What Nurses Know And Must Communicate to the Public, Second Edition

8 reviews
Bernice Buresh, Suzanne Gordon

ILR Press, 2006

Finding Voice
From Silence to Voice by Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon is a must-read for all nurses. The message of the book is one nurses need to hear: talk about your work, show the world what you do, communicate the fact that nursing is skilled, responsible and interesting work. Buresh and Gordon make clear that much of the devaluing of nursing arises out of the fact that nurses avoid the limelight. ...

Workbook: Harmony and Voice Leading, Volume 1 (Harmony and Voice Leading)

Edward Aldwell, Carl Schachter

Thomson Learning, 2002

A very strong text teaching the foundations of tonal music
When I was a student at the University of Michigan School of Music in the late seventies and early eighties, we used the then brand new first edition of this book. I thought it was quite good then, and I believe this third edition to be an even better book. It treats the subjects of tonal harmony and voice leading quite well. There have been some solid improvements in the way a few things are ...

SET YOUR VOICE FREE... is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to learn how to improve their voice. Whether you want to sing or speak better, author Roger Love will show you how to get there. Ok so you might not become the next Sinatra or Streisand, but the book does explain how your vocal cords make sounds, how to practice, and how to breathe properly. The book never gets too technical or ...
