School.
School continues to be one of the most traumatizing/wonderful experiences of my life. This book talks about school from all angles .. highly recommended.

A must-read for everyone who's ever been to school
This collection includes some of the best poems of our time--all related to school. The pain and poignancy of school-age experiences in the classroom, on the playground, or on the athletic field, are captured inthis volume with the resonance of shared life. The names of teachers--Mrs.Krikorian, Mrs. Smythe, and the rest--bring back our own teachers' facesand even their "sausage arms." Teachers themselves speak here aswell, with humor, sadness, or a sense of loss about the classrooms ofchildren they have known. This volume, with work by our best contemporarypoets, is a must-read for anyone who teaches or learns or who has ever beenin school. ... Read more

Teaches you how to *understand* statistics
I've struggled with statistics for years, and had resigned myself to continuing that struggle until I read this wonderful book.Where most books assume that you remember lessons from high school this one starts from scratch. It also differs from other books by teaching you how statistics work instead of force feeding you formulas that you learn by rote, but do not impart an understanding of how statistics work.Read more
