After a short introduction filled with some top ten tables (e.g., top ten elements in the earth's crust: "Oxygen 466,000" parts per million, "Silicon 277,000" p.p.m., etc.) Emsley spins out a chapter per element in ...             Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification12 reviews Christopher Peterson, Martin Seligman Oxford University Press, USA, 2004 The strength and vvitue of this book In part from the guru of positive psychology, this excellent resource is accessible to not only the "experts in the field" but those who "work the field" like parents and teachers.

What philosophers and theologians have known for thousands of ...             A Handbook of Critical Approaches to Literature10 reviews Wilfred Guerin, Earle Labor, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2010 Can't-live-without-guide to teaching literature Dr. Guerin walked into the graduate classroom and placed his things on the table. Short and a bit blocky in stature, he also had hair the color of sea spray, white with darkened strands. After a few initial comments, he made this rather unusual statement: "There's something to this idea of making contact with a book." He picked up the text, a huge tome of plays from around the world to ...             The School Services Sourcebook: A Guide for School-Based Professionals1 review Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 School Services Sourcebook This book is great for brief descriptions of multiple interventions to be used in schools.             AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors11 reviews JAMA & Archives Journals Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 AMA Manual of Style 10 Edition The book was listed as used, but it was like a new book.

Lightbown, Nina Spada Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 Great for TESL study My husband used this book so many times throughout his graduate degree in MAT in ELL. He used it for article reviews and used it in an annotated bibliography as well as extensively for his thesis.

After reading Elbow's first book Writing with Teachers I would have been wary of getting this book, only I bought them at the same time. I sent Writing with Teachers back and devoured this book.

Kane Oxford University Press, USA, 1994 Know all the techniques and why they work. Write with class. This is the best book on writing I've read so far. It would be more precise to say this is a book on how to dress your thoughts in words most effectively. I still remember an illustrative example somewhere in the initial pages. What is not so good about the sentence "She dresses in a beaatuful manner" ?. Well, it becomes more effective when written as "She dresses beautifully". In the long phrase ...             A Handbook of Diction for Singers: Italian, German, French4 reviews David Adams Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Excellent Reference for All Singers Professor David Adams skillfully offers keen insight into the basics of Italian, German, and French diction.

It's well laid out, and the illustrations are clear and colorful. I don't read Cyrillic, but the other reviewer mentioned a mis-translation; hopefully such errors are few. The book is very well made.
