Make room in your heart for Forster's delightfully frothy "A Room With a View"
Edward Morgan Foster (1879-1970) lived a long life as a Cambridge don and world traveler. However, most of this author's fiction was completed in the first 20 years of the 20th century. "A Room With a View" is a gently satirical view of the English abroad and at home in the late Edwardian Age. Perhaps we can view England as the cozy room of normality and routine while the sunny Italian landscape ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
, 2007
Why Things Go Right. The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View by Laura King (University of Missouri at Columbia) is the first text to bring a truly appreciative view of psychology-as a science and for exploring behavior-to introductory students. It is built around the idea that students must study the discipline of psychology as a whole, that the sub-disciplines are intricately connected, and that human behavior is best understood by ...

An educational anthology on point- of- view in storytelling
My review is of the 1966 New American Library edition of the work. I found this book to be an excellent educator in the art of the short - story. The editors give two examples of stories in the following categories: Interior Monlongue, Dramatic Monologue, Letter Narration, Diary Narration, Subjective Narration, Detached Autobiography, Memoir or Observed Narration, Biography or Anonymous ...

Great Classroom Teaching Novel!
I have taught this in my classroom every year since 2000! I absolutely love it. I've used it in 6th grade and currently in 5th grade. The book easily lends itself to teaching about point of view and a host of other reading skills. Point of view is the skill I think the kids enjoy the most when using this book because each chapter is told from the perspective of a different character. The theme is ...

A Good Value (If you buy it used)
This book has two problems. One. It was originally written in 1989-1990. Sometimes the author mentions something like, "We might attack Iraq because of its aggression towards Kuwait." Then you realize that you are taking your strategy cues from something almost 20 years old. Two. The theory of this book could be summarized very quickly in a few pages, and the rest of the book is not very ...

Four Views of Hell
This book is a great general expression of the four main views of Hell that most Christians would hold. It is in an easy to read format and allows for even the causal reader to understand. While every reader would not agree with all four views, most would seem to understand the views and their implication on how various Christian groups and Denominations apply the Bible. It is also a great book ...

I purchased this book for a class on child psychology for my major in elementary education. I wasn't too impressed. If you are a teacher considering using this book for a class, I strongly recommend that you save your students' money and just have them research online.

no straw dummies
The timely nature of the book's topics is one of its strengths. The book just came out, and its many of its topics can be seen in the daily newspapers. Consider one issue - are continued US sanctions on Cuba justified? The pro and con are briefly covered, but quite succinctly. Another topic asks whether membership in the World Trade Organisation is beneficial. The book's debate format helps ...

We're To Contend For The Faith (Jude 3) -- Here Are 5 Ways How
Apologetics is an extremely important and yet overlooked aspect of Christianity. We are ready to give an answer to every man for the hope that is in us (1 Pet. 3:15), and to contend earnestly for the faith (Jude 3). But how do we do this? Leave it to human beings to come up with organized systems to approach this, and this book introduces us to five different styles to accomplish this. Let ...

This story line is divided into nine parts framed by an introductory chapter ("A World View") which puts the approach into context. This approach gives non-science students an appreciation for the laws of nature and physics contribution to that understanding. The new sixth edition uses the latest physics education principles to emphasize conceptual ...

Counterpoint Series
I'm going to apply this commentary for the entire Counterpoint Series published by Zondervan Publishing Company. My compliments to that company for creating this series. I initially purchased "Four Views on the Book of Revelation" but soon realized it was only one in a series. I got so much out of that volume, that I decided to purchase the entire set to study and keep for reference. My ...
