Draws you in from the very first page, and after reading it, it leaves you with no questions, but a very insightful look into human nature. Once you pick it up you will find it hard to put it down to do things like sleep or go to work.             The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers (First Time Books(R))44 reviews Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain Random House Books for Young Readers, 1985 Great book I have talked to my daughter on many occasions about strangers. However, after reading this book to her several times (and stopping to talk about what was happening), she's finally starting to understand that she shouldn't interact with strangers unless her parents are around.             Public Speaking: An Audience-Centered Approach (6th Edition) (MySpeechLab Series)8 reviews Steven A. Beebe, Susan J. Beebe Allyn & Bacon, 2005 The Sixth and Ever Better Edition You can't say that the audience-centered concept used in this book was pioneered by them. After all, in the first paragraph the authors give credit to Aristotle for defining the elements of speechmaking as 'of speaker, subject and person addresed - it is the last one, the herer, that determines the speaker's end and object.' The first edition of this book, about 15 years ago, set the tone for ...             Strangers in Death (In Death)76 reviews J.D. Robb Berkley, 2008 Strangers in Death The product arrived on time, in great condition. I am in the middle of reading it now. I was very pleased with everything.             Dinner with a Perfect Stranger: An Invitation Worth Considering140 reviews David Gregory WaterBrook Press, 2005 a thoughtful interaction with Jesus I just finished this book and I must say I was surprised. It was very good. My initial worry was that it would be fluffy, but the portrait of Jesus struck the right balance between his being compassionate and winsome on the one hand, but far from passive or a push-over on the other. It was enjoyable to the end. If I have friends who wonder what a conversation with Jesus would be like or are ...             Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers (Issues of Our Time)13 reviews Kwame Anthony Appiah W. W. Norton, 2007 Becoming Cosmopolitan One of the most pernicious ideas has spung from the myth that we are necessarily separated and segregated into groups that are defined by criteria like gender, language, race, religion or some other kind of boundary. And it is easy to see that these boundaries are a major cause of conflict. The author of this enthralling book - Kwame Anthony Appiah - challenges this kind of separative thinking ...             Wayside School Boxed Set: Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, Wayside School is Falling Down, Sideway ...45 reviews Louis Sachar HarperTrophy, 1996 Great book for kids! Here's my 9-year-old son's review: I think this book is appropriate for kids, because it has funny stories about kids you don't see every day and kids who do strange but hilarious things. It's even more fun that the author uses himself as a character in the book - the yard teacher. He must have thought the book through really well, because it's full of interesting details. I read all three ...             Your Body Belongs to You20 reviews Cornelia Maude Spelman Albert Whitman & Company, 2000 Great for very young children This book is the best one I found on this topic for very young and innocent children. My daughter scares very easily so I needed something that would not scare her but help her understand she needs to keep her privates covered. This helped but we still have occasions when she forgets to keep the dresses DOWN! LOL             The Stranger527 reviews Albert Camus Vintage, 1989 American translation brings out stylistic subtleties (This is a review of the Matthew Ward translation; black an dwhite cover) This is a newish translation, done by an American rather than the British translation that had previously been the only English version of this French classic. It seems Camus was heavily influenced by American literature of the period -- Hemmingway, Faulkner and others -- and had written The Stranger, the first half ...             Strangers to These Shores: Race and Ethnic Relations in the United States (9th Edition) (MySocKit Series)5 reviews Vincent N. Parrillo Allyn & Bacon, 2008 Excellent introductory text! Parrillo's text is a helpful overview of the sociology of race and ethnicity in the United States taken from a group-to-group approach. Major sociological contributions on these matters are covered through the lens of particular groups that are most affected (e.g. LA riots are covered under black Americans but not under Korean Americans). The most recent edition is especially helpful as ...             Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories25 reviews Chuck Palahniuk Anchor, 2005 Guilt & Redemption Reading Chuck Palahniuk's collection of oddball 'strange-but-true' stories, articles written for various magazines about twisted people and their twisted little hobbies, is like watching "America's Most Terrifying Videos" or reading "Ripley's Believe It or Not." You feel guilty for enjoying the freak show... but not enough to stop reading. The book isn't that thick, and there are 23 chapters so ...             Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)54 reviews Robert B. Parker Putnam Adult, 2008 I love Jesse Stone Perhaps it because Tom Selleck has played Jesse Stone or maybe we all want to have a Jesse Stone in our lives but I love these books, the action is fast and the dialogue is funny. Not all the bad guys are completely bad and not all the good guys are completely good. Give Jesse a chance....             Learning From Strangers: The Art and Method of Qualitative Interview Studies6 reviews Robert S. Weiss Free Press, 1995 Best introduction to qualitative interviewing Learning From Strangers is the best introduction to how to do qualitative interviewing that I know of, and it's one of two books that I assign in my course on qualitative research methods (the other is Corrine Glesne's Becoming Qualitative Researchers). It is very readable, but also deeply insightful and informed by Weiss's many years of interviewing. The most valuable part of the book, and one ...             Don't Laugh at Me (Reading Rainbow Book)18 reviews Steve Seskin, Allen Shamblin Tricycle Press, 2002 excellent! This is wonderful resource to deal with bullying. I use it both in my classroom and with my own children.             Sleeping With Strangers104 reviews Eric Jerome Dickey NAL Trade, 2008 eric has done it again great book!!when so many authors let me down. YOU came with da buziness. first page til the last. don't ever put that pen down. thanks eric             Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko6 reviews Blake Bell Fantagraphics Books, 2008 Ditko, a fascinating and uncompromising artist This is an incredibly entertaining book. Looking at the cover, one can tell they are not looking at just another comic book artist. Opening the book one sees the first glimpse of Ditko, a five page black and white story called "Stretching Things". The story is a look at a man grown bitter by his handicap, so much so that a possible cure to his condition does'nt bring a happy ending, but a ...             Strangers from a Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans Au of...14 reviews Ronald Takaki Back Bay Books, 1998 Take Two - The Asian American Experience Revisited What was useful to me as a new scholar in the area of migration studies is that in Strangers from a Different Shore, Takaki's makes extensive use of numbers - mixed in with a plethora of anecdote. Once again, we are beset with the notion that there are statistics and such. What was really missing, at least for me, was the framing of the Asian American experience (of which Takaki is somewhat ...             One Bite With A Stranger (The Others, Book 6) Christine Warren St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008 When Regina’s friends insist on setting her up a “Fantasy Fix” to help her get over her cheating ex, she dreams up some kinky out-of-this-world encounters that they could never possibly bring to life. But the next thing Regina knows, her friends have got her laced into a shiny black corset, tight leather pants, and a sexy pair of stilettos. It’s time for some downtown vampire-fantasy fun. . . . The Vampire Ball in ...             I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away225 reviews Bill Bryson Broadway, 2000 A FUN READ, A GOOD READ. After quite a number of years living and writing in England, Bill Bryson returned to his native land, the United States, with his family and apparently continued his writing career. Mr. Bryson wrote a series of weekly articles, a column, for a British newspaper, recording his experiences, thoughts and observations on his native land and his return after a long absence. This book, I'm A Stranger ...             Permission Marketing : Turning Strangers Into Friends And Friends Into Customers132 reviews Seth Godin Simon & Schuster, 1999 This book changed my career This book changed my career - ever since reading it I've pushed the surf company that I work for to adopt the marketing tactics that are so eloquently laid out in this book. We have just gotten to a level now where we're ready to begin implementing those concepts and a lot of people at work are very excited about the prospect of increasing our sales.
