My students are practicing teachers who have seen dozens of lesson planning approaches and don't need some new theory just for the fun of it. But Wiggins and McTighe present a fresh perspective that doesn't so much replace as reposition traditional approaches. It boils down to what they call backward ...             The DASH Diet Action Plan: Based on the National Institutes of Health Research: Dietary Approaches to Stop ...17 reviews Marla Heller Amidon Press, 2007 Terrific Plan I purchased this book along with the Dash Diet book and absolutely love it.

Marzano, Debra Pickering, ... Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 2001 Best teacher guide EVER This booklet provides vastly more instruction on the nitty-gritty of what teachers need in the classroom. Thank you!             Ways of Seeing: Based on the BBC Television Series36 reviews John Berger Penguin (Non-Classics), 1990 A Foundation of the Post-modern Even though "Ways of Seeing" is a flawed book in many ways, it is so seminal in the development of post-modern image making that it must be considered essential reading in critical theory. The book is based on a television series. The book itself is only 176 pages. The print is all in a bold, sans-serif font. The authors are quick to claim that the book was made, not written. The pictures ...             Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine4 reviews Simon Singh, Edzard Ernst W. W. Norton, 2008 Excellent analysis of "alternative" and "complementary" medicine I have been meaning to write a review of Trick or Treatment for some months now and had a lot of sophisticated ideas how to phrase it. In the meantime, I had sent my mother a "care package", with dried cranberries, organic Earl Grey tea and a copy of Trick or Treatment. She called me last weekend and said: "This book is so full of suspense and so extraordinarily well written. I understand what ...             Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management36 reviews Jeffrey Pfeffer, Robert I. Sutton Harvard Business School Press, 2006 Another thought provoking work from Pfeffer I've been an avid Pfeffer fan since 'Resource Dependency', so am inclined to give him 5 stars for anything he writes. The main themes in here are extremely thought provoking and are great for jogging one's brain to think thorough one's management assumptions. A few of his analogies are weak...I believe there are better cases as analogies for some of Pfeffer's points. He relies upon his ...             A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-181238 reviews Laurel Thatcher Ulrich Vintage, 1991 Amazingly preserved firsthand account of colonial America I greatly enjoyed this book, which gave a truly unique and rare perspective into female life in early Colonial New England. Thoroughly absorbing the chapters is truly co-dependent on simultaneously reading through the footnotes at the back, so know in advance that there will be a lot of flipping back and forth, but that this will enrich and enhance the interpretation and absorbability of the ...             Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing: Concepts Of Care in Evidence-Based Practice (Psychiatric Mental Health ...6 reviews F. A. Davis Company, 2005 Excellent textbook for Mental Health Nursing Easy reading, informative, & well put together.

A few days after reading the book, I have a whole new grasp of how to get out of debt and stay out. Though I am not in serious debt, the whole money management advice is enlightening.

I have been busy actively learning (actual data analysis & critique). For the first time I feel that research can become a reality. It's too bad this text did not cross my path 10 years ago as the beginning point for previous research courses. The text is not a difficult read. The excerpts from actual research and visuals ...             Understanding Nursing Research: Building an Evidence-Based Practice5 reviews Nancy Burns, Susan K. Grove Saunders, 2006 Nursing Research Great layout, summary at the end of each chapter. The each chapter begins with a list of outcome goals and terms with page numbers. CD with text is a great reference with quizzes and exams. The accompany website has additional test questions, quizzes and crosswords puzzles for each chapter. (Offers more then some other text on the website). Very glad my instructor chose this text.             The Norton Shakespeare, Based on the Oxford Edition, Second Edition: One-Volume Hardcover18 reviews William Shakespeare W. W. Norton, 2008 I can't believe I read the whole thing! Initially, I had to buy this mammoth of a book for a college course covering Shakespeare's early commedies and histories. I've been fascinated with Shakespeare ever since I read Romeo and Juliet in high school, and my college studies merely increased that fascination. This book served me very well in the course; the introductions are extremely relevant to and informative about both the ...             Classroom Management That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Every Teacher7 reviews Robert J. Marzano, Jana S. Marzano, ... Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 2003 Classroom Management I bought this book for a graduate course I'm currently taking.
