the Social Studies part is great
I learned about this book from the reference list in Beestar Social Studies program (www.beestar.org). Due to the vast differences among schools and teachers in teaching Social Studies, students often received a rather unbalanced treatment of the subject. This book comes as a rescue of the situation. It tells you clearly what your child should know as a fifth grader. My child picked up several ...

Core Knowledge Foundation
Delta, 2008
Excellent interactive book for 4-5 year olds
This is book is well thought out with a variety of topics that will interest your child. Our 4 year-old has truly enjoyed learning about animals, loves the classic fairy tales and playing the games. When my wife ordered the book I did not know what to expect; now having had the chance to use it with our child for the past few months, I can recommend it without reservation.

Excellent book
I purchased this book so I can understand (in general) what my 4 year old needs to knows before Kindergarden. He currently goes to preschool but like most little kids he is hungry to learn more. I have been extremely happy with the book and its content. I agree with others that some of the stories are graphic and deal with death but it is my understanding that between year 4-6 kids are ...

Definitely a crucial book for any teenager who cares about his/her future!
Wow! I wish I had this wonderful book when I was a teenager.
I remember very vividly when I came across Richard Bolles' 'What Colour is Your Parachute', it was way back in the late 80's/early 90's. At that time, I was embarking on a journey to find out about what I wanted to do with the second half of my life.
Naturally, I was attracted to this new book when I saw it in my local bookstore. ...

Depression affects 19 million Americans each year
There are as many books written about depression, as there are symptoms of this baffling disease, particularly since the malady appears to be intensifying among all age groups from children to the elderly. In addition, several books are written about all-natural approaches for treatment of depression.
However, Dr. Schachter's book may very well be the best breakthrough book to date for the ...

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2008
You'll discover a new way to understand your money
This brilliant and challenging book is not a manual for how to make money. It's an examination of what money means for your life. I recognized the author Frank Hanna from a show called The Call of the Entrepreneur -- he is a venture capitalist who examines the role of money in our lives, whether we're wealthy or just getting by. Once we have money, what do we do with it, and why? He takes us ...

Another Great Activity Book
If you loved the first Activity Book in this series, then you'll love this one too. It carries on and develops the same concepts and increases the difficulty slowly. This book focuses more on the alphabet and numbers and has pages that allow the child to do writing strokes and the alphabet. It also has some early math. It also has science pages and pages that allow the child to learn how to ...

Could write volumns on how this book has helped me. I am an estrogen positive, stage IV, breast cancer survivor. My markers were up and 2/16 ratio for bad estrogen was off the charts it was so high. In coordination with my compounding pharmacist and OB/GYN, we used progesterone to lower the estrogen dominance and bring my markers back down. I learned about progesterone and it's many benefits ...

I wish I had known this book existed before I made the mistake of vaccianting my boys
This is an EXCELLENT book. My son was a perfectly NORMAL, beautiful little boy until he received his MMR vaccine. Within 24 hours he had all the hallmark symptoms of autism. He and his little brother are close in age, so my younger son received vaccines for the first 6 months of his life. The result? AUTISM AND PDD-NOS!!! If I had read this book, my boys, myself, and the rest of my family ...
