Anita Woolfolk

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Filled with practicality
Although I did not use the 10th edition due that it was delivered to a neighbor, I borrowed a 9th edition that is similar. It was an excellent resource for teaching. It has practical guidelines for class prep, updated guidelines for students with disabilities and much much more. I highly recommend this book for teachers of all levels. You may not be taking this class; Educational Psychology, ...

Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach (9th Edition) (MySocLab Series)

5 reviews
James M. Henslin

Allyn & Bacon, 2007

Interesting and Lively
Admittedly I haven't read a lot of sociology textbooks, but this one is quite good. Every chapter has real-life examples (and many of the author's own experiences), so it not only makes you know the theory but also feel it at work in our societies, although the author writes quite a lot of his own feelings (it's dead obvious that he wants to change the world), which I don't know if it's a good ...

Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally

17 reviews
John M. Van de Walle

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Math teacher must have!
This was a required text for a M.Ed. class. The practices in this book are almost perfectly aligned with Massachusetts frameworks and the Connnected Math Project (CMP) text used by my district (Lowell). This book is very rich with lesson plan fodder and takes pains to explain the 'why' of CMP as well as the how. I'll be relying on this book for years to come.

Essentials of Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach (7th Edition) (MySocLab Series)

16 reviews
James M. Henslin

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Sociology review
I would like everyone to know that for a class that calls for the latest edition, which is usually hundreds of dollars, they can easily get an A with an older edition. I have proved it with this book. Even though the teacher said I would have a hard time I found everything where it was supposed to be maybe a page or two off but it was all there. This is a great book even if you are not taking a ...

Family Therapy: Concepts & Methods (8th Edition)

2 reviews
Michael P. Nichols, Richard C Schwartz

Allyn & Bacon, 2007

"The Standard Text" for Family Therapy
Nichols work, now in the 8th edition, is a seminal work in family therapy. This new edition, has some extra-features, which make it even more desireable than the 7th. It is more sympathetic to the postmodern therapies (solutions-focused, narrative), which I either practice or have been heavily influenced by. Nichols work is a great way to "break in" to this field as he survey the field, its ...

Conformity and Conflict: Readings in Cultural Anthropology (12th Edition) (MyAnthroKit Series)

6 reviews
James Spradley, David W. McCurdy

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Excellent collection, a standard in anthro -- and the 12th is DIFFERENT from the11th
I've used this collection off and on for years in teaching Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. It's a great book, a real standard in anthropology. Honestly, I think the relevance and quality of the essays varies from edition to edition. I liked the 11th more than the 12th. Sometimes a 'favorite' essay gets replaced; and then in the next edition it is returned. Go figure. I note that ...

Infants, Children, and Adolescents (6th Edition) (MyDevelopmentLab Series)
