Not just for men
I've been practicing and teaching Pilates for years, and although I continue to be challenged by the original mat exercises, there are times that my students crave different exercises. I, too, have been increasingly curious about the Reformer on the Mat exercises, and though I've seen bits and pieces in other workouts, I haven't seen one that offers them in a cohesive system. This one does, ...

Great Age Appropriate Text for 3rd-6th grades!
All the books in THE WORLD IN ANCIENT TIMES series (2005 ed) are excellent--no matter the contributing author. The publisher (Oxford) has envisioned and produced high quality books that present rich content in a pleasing visual and tactile product. There are generally 20-30 chapters of 3 to 10 pages each. Each chapter is thematic that runs more or less chronologically. Photographs and ...

From a student of the author
I got to help test-drive this textbook's material by being in a course taught by Dr. Lyons' as the book was being published, and let me tell you, this book is chock full of information about air & gas drilling. The detail is amazing, giving step-by-step examples in calculating flowrates of various drilling methods, such as aerated and foam drilling. Graphs are provided for different flowrates ...

Gripping account of teaching conundrums
An excellent way to look at classrooms and put yourself in the position of a teacher with a problem. It really made me think, and allowed me to take more than one perspective on problems that on the surface seemed clear-cut. The cases are complex and detailed, yet not too long. A must read for teachers.

Undertstandable Politics
For the first time readers are able to read about a serious and complex subject and actually understand what the authors are trying to explain. Government and Politics in Tennessee sounds like a topic created only to cure insomnia, yet the authors (mainly author Billy Stair, former senior policy advisor to Governor Ned McWherter) are able to create a fun atmosphere filled with interesting ...

Genuine Anthropology
So much anthropology is caught up in the detached scientific method. People don't realize that for all its powers, that science has its limitations. Einstein realized that, but many lesser scientists in many fields don't seem to realize that. The author of this volume utilizes science -- to the extent that it works, but he strikes a balance by looking the spiritual aspects of societies from ...

A book I return to over and over
Ziegler's book is a very readable, balanced overview of what most people see as the key question in national security -- how to prevent war. I have personally read 3 different editions of this book over the years, because I find it useful to think again about the issue. The primary approach of the book is two-fold. First there are some historical examples of times of crisis in war and peace. ...

Provocative, Interesting Work
This is one of my most prized art books, documenting the work of an artist who clearly did not receive enough attention during his short life. His highly original, challenging, and intense work is beautifully documented in this book.

The autobiography that defines the genre
This is the MIT Press' 1987 one-volume critical edition of "George" Santayana's autobiography. It includes much material not found in Scribner's original, 1940s, three-volume publication. This RICHLY AND PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED MIT Press edition is THE ONE TO HAVE. Although a major figure in American philosophy, writer of one of the finest novels set in America (The Last Puritan) and an ...

Philosophy of mind: made accessible to all
In ' Matters of the Mind', Prof Lyons has produced a simple book yet one with an unbelieveable wealth of knowledge. It would be criminal for me not to congratulate him. A very WELL DONE! sir I recall I took some time deliberating to myself in the bookshop 'Books Etc' (at London's Festival Hall) at the philosophy shelves, about which philosophy book I ought to buy. I perused several intently, ...

An evening spent with Butler is an evening well-spent
A rich, intelligent, historically informative masterpiece that tells the modern reader about the concerns, delusions, pretensions and prejudices of Englishmen of the 1700s and 1800s. Much more than just a novel, this work offers Butler's opinions upon philosophy, child-rearing and religion. The events of the novel serve to illustrate and reinforce the points made. It is a hybrid, a ...
The Politics of Community Policing: Rearranging the Power to Punish (Law, Meaning, and Violence)

, 2002
The most important study of policing reform yet published.
Lyons probes deeply into the various and overlapping political struggles behind efforts to reinvent policing in the United States. The analysis focuses on the community side of policing reform, which is a welcome antidote to the overwhelmingly police-centered literature most often found in this field. In Lyon's study, it was community groups that first mobilized to pressure the police to do ...

Must read for late 70's/early 80's Sixers Fans
I loved this book growing up. Pat Williams, who later went on to become the GM of the Orlando Magic, details the ascent of the sixers from the "9-73ers" of the early 70's to the 1983 World Champions. Anyone who appreciates the golden era of the NBA, with all its outrageousnous (see Darryl Dawkins), will enjoy this quick read.

This book should be the bible for high schools in America...
I relied heavily on this book while I was writing my thesis. I have even considered writing Lyons and Drew to thank them personally for conducting such an important study. Punishing Schools asks the tough questions in today's world where one can "Never be too safe." They look specifically at a suburban high school to subtly ask the question "What are we really afraid of? And what are the ...
