active thinker
I like more about he was explaining the human expression and if you want to become something in your life how would you express yourself?. And the way he answer the questions he is not just giving the answers straight away instead he make the questioners think theirself very deeply and find the answer themself.

JJ Krishnamurti and conversation with students in Britain
Krishnamurti addresses the issues and concerns of students in a private school in Britain. In response to questions and comments from these young people he operates on the level that they understand. He pushes them, andwith affection. He helps them see the pitfalls of resistance and conformityand finding an intelligent way to function and act. He addresses the issueof sentimentality as a source of much of the problems in the world and theway to counter it with what he calls affection. Sentimentality is thesource of all attachment, nationalism, and ultimately the misery in theworld. ... Read more

Psychology an introduction study guide
This book was not what I thought it would be . I was lookong more on the lines of a text book on Introduction to Psychology.

Fantastic overview of psychology
Even if you're not enrolled in a psychology class, you may still want to read this text. Its lively writing style and reader-friendly interface make it easy for ANYONE to learn about how humans work. Although it lacks the cartoons and "wow" of Myers' text, I believe this is still one of the most authoritative psychology textbooks on the market.

Great Introduction
At my school we use this textbook for our AP Psychology class.It is very clear and understandable, a great introduction to Psychology. ... Read more

excellent
Creationism Versus Evolution (At Issue Series) is a set of readings by the leading Intelligent Design (ID) advocates and their critics including Michael Behe and Ben Walker. It is an excellent book to use in both public and private schools. Instead of using stickers, or similar, to try to explain the controversy, teachers should use this text in public school classrooms. I plan to. It has seven excellent readings and is published by a mainline textbook publisher. I am anxious to get the reaction of my students, especially in my advanced college level biology classes. It covers all of the common arguments, pro and con, related to ID and has an excellent concluding chapter by Michael Ruse. All of the readings are easy to follow and, as such, the book serves as an excellent introduction to this growing controversy. Must reading. ... Read more

Fresh and honest
I have purchased the book for every new child I know.The pictures have enough detail to involve the young ones and the simple question of the book instigates interaction from the older audience(including myself).I debated giving the books away.Very refreshing compared to most books that have the same stories hashed out over and over again.

Fun and thought-proviking
Albert is one of those rare books that is both fun and thought-provoking. After I read it to my boys, my younger son wanted to build a cardboard-box rocketship and my older son wanted to talk about our place in the universe. At every level, this is a satisfying book.

Book at Bedtime turns into Question Time!
I was lucky enough to find this great little book on Amazon. We usually let our kids pick the books they want us to read when they go to sleep, and Albert has been selected quite often in recent weeks. And every time we finish reading Albert - we are bombarded with questions. They are falling asleep a bit later than usual - with a lot of unanswered questions in their heads. I can highly recommend Albert. ... Read more

Great Book, Great Professors
Great introduction to Gf-Gc Theory for practitioners.The authors did an excellent job of explaining Gf-Gc theory, test interpretation using Gf-Gc theory, and implications of the results.I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the field of educational assessment.

Must read for professionals in the field
Every psychologist (science-practitioner) who conducts psychoeducational evaluations should read this book.It not only summarizes the latest research on cognitive abilities, but it shows the way to apply theseresults to practice.My only criticism is that maybe the authors shouldhave emphasized a little more the fact that interpretation of results ismostlyscientific, but also a bit artistic/intuitive. ...
