It was a great story about Anneth and Easter, two sisters who are affected by their connection to the land and waters of Eastern Kentucky.

One School at a Time1274 reviews Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 America's gone ugly, but there's hope... I enjoyed this book from seeing what one driven person can do. I loved it for its example of crossing boundaries and honoring different cultures. I admired Greg for taking risks. I realized that we must fight terrorism with education. All of this is wonderful, but, as a teacher, I was reminded of the power and rightness of education. There are so many perks and distractions in our lives (and ...             Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation33 reviews Olivia Judson, 2008 Sex Advice What do you get when you cross a biology textbook, a Dr. Ruth show, a Dear Abby column, and a "Far Side" cartoon?

I owned this book before I even had children. I used it in the classroom as a teaching tool. To drive the point home, I would have the children try to mix piant together to make their shade of skin pigment. They were amazed at how no one is white, and no one is black. This book is an example that we are different, but we aren't alone...There are others like us. We ARE all the same inside... ...             Making a World of Difference. Personal Leadership: A Methodology of Two Principles and Six Practices13 reviews Barbara, F. Schaetti, Sheila, J. Ramsey, ... FlyingKite Publications, 2008 Leadership for Everyone I loved the book. Some of the concepts were familiar. When I read the original authors, I found them too abstract. The way that the authors laid out the principles and practices so clearly and practically with exercises converted all that abstraction into a useful tool. I thought of a least one situation where I could apply it immediately. The authors were very open and generous in sharing ...             Advanced Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers (International Series in Pure and Applied ...14 reviews Carl M.

Bender and Orszag was the standard text on this topic in the early 1980s, and it remains by far the most thorough book on the subject. I had two courses from it in graduate school and have taught from it 3 times now. I have never found a mistake. The book is very well written; its only weakness is that its graphics ...             Impact: How to Get Noticed, Motivate Millions, and Make a Difference in a Noisy World16 reviews Ken McArthur Career Press, 2008 I Was Too Busy To Read It-But Couldn't Put It Down! I'm a teacher, software creator, and internet marketing coach. When I got this book from a seminar recently, I thought it would be a nice addition to my library that I would read "some" day when I wasn't so busy. One day my internet connection went on the blink. I was annoyed, but decided to spend my time productively instead of whining. I chose to read Ken's book, Impact. After all, he had ...             It's Not the Stork!: A Book About Girls, Boys, Babies, Bodies, Families and Friends (Robie Sex Books)14 reviews Robie H. Harris Candlewick, 2006 So pleased that I picked this one!

Borba, Michele Borba Jossey-Bass, 1999 All Diamonds In The Rough Need Polishing This book is one of the gems -- a diamond in the rough -- on parenting. Written in simple language, it's the "basic course" on "HOW TO RAISE KIDS WITH SOLID CHARACTER, STRONG MINDS, AND CARING HEARTS". So read, use, and understand. Hmm. Understand? What do you do when the kids ask, "WHY?"! Hmm. You'll need a book that makes you understand -- in simple language -- the philosophy of WHY character ...             Managing Cultural Diversity in Technical Professions (Managing Cultural Differences)15 reviews Lionel Laroche Butterworth-Heinemann, 2002 Great textbook!

Using a magnifying glass, you compare 8" by 5" four color paintings to 4" by 4" originals, looking for changes (such as missing items or objects with different coloration). This allows you ...             Blue Planet Run: The Race to Provide Safe Drinking Water to the World16 reviews Earth Aware Editions, 2007 Powerful ....compelling.... Rick Smolan has managed once more to bring together powerful photographs and compelling essays that challenge all of us to see, think, and act differently about something we take for granted everyday - water.
