Being a college student,I do not agree with the first review at all.This is a great book.It covers the FUNDAMENTALS of college algebra, discrete mathematics, trigonometry, analytic geomety, and calculus.This study guide is the best tutor you could ask for. It really produces results without overwhelming you with unnecessary details.You get a complete overview of the subject.Plus you get plenty of practice exercises to test your skills!!It's perfect for preparing you for any exam.You'll see it when you get your test results.I highly recommend it.Try it for yourself before believing negative reviews.

What a wonderful way of teaching. Bravo!
Susan Hogan's book is a fascinating exploration of several different cultures through their art, their customs, geography and history. Her insight into the nature of the different societies brings a deep understanding of how art has been interwoven with the needs and rituals of that society. It also points out the need for us to use our hands, our minds and emotions - expecially in this electronic age. It brings us back to ourselves, to make these things with our hands. I have worked with children of different ages for more than a decade. I find the students really enjoy the easy to do projects that help them produce beautiful articles they can actually use. What a wonderful way of teaching. Bravo!

A resource that real teachers can use with real students
This book is not going to get dusty on the shelf. It is a real resource--for art teachers, social studies teachers, home schoolers and anyone else who wants to use art to teach world culture (or conversely world culture to teach art). The lessons makes sense. The art projects are doable. This book had been well thought out. It's also been tested with real students. It is ideal for teachers who want to do multi-cultural education and not just talk about it. ... Read more

Excellent book: what quality early childhood care should be
This book should be a required read for anyone studying to teach early childhood education, but anyone interestedReggio Emilia or young children will find this an excellent resource.Through the lens of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the book looks at "the image of the child", "the role of the teacher", environment, documentation, relationships, curriculum, aesthetics, and finally "the Hundred Languages of Children".It is a highly enjoyable read, rich with real life examples of Reggio in practice, as well as the reality of the challenges faced by teachers.Wonderful!! ...

This book is good for 2 things, kindling and tolietpapper
One cannot begain to explain how misguided this author is, in fact to quote Rodney Dangerfield "He cares alot, about what I don't know".All this book is a left winged hippie rant that needs to be removed from shelves like the trash that it is.I only wish I could give half a star becouse it scratches my but and burns lousy.

Educated arrogance as bad as ignorance
This book is overly opinionated, peppered with bitter pomposity, and simply melodramatic -- a real annoyance as it was required reading.One star for effort, another star for not being a page longer than it was.

Environmental Awareness..."Landscapes and Mindscapes."
David Orr has approached the subject of "Environmental Literacy" from a series of diverse perspectives. As a Professor of Environmental Studies at Oberlin College, and founder of the Non-Profit Meadowcreek Peoject, he has made a significant and thought-provoking contribution to the field of Contemporary Ecological LIterature. Orr sees "Sustainability," as being "about the terms and conditions of human survival," and that "this crisis can not be solved by the same kind of education that helped to create the problems."Read more

Second Best Intro Early Childhood Text For Teachers
After Jo Ann Brewer's superb INTRODUCTION TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION textbook, I would get this resource to keep me up-to-date on the foundational knowledge that stands as essential for early childhood professionals.Even though it lacks a chapter exclusively devoted to the all-important role of play in early childhood education, the absence of such a discussion leaves the learner with a more neutral reference point from which to decide his position on whether or not to align with a play-based curricular philosophy

If you have any experience teaching art dont buy this!
While I see how this book may be helpful for those with no art teaching experience, as an art teacher looking for some ideas for preschool projects I found this book useless.I am only writing this review because if someone had written one like I would not have purchased the book!

Not earth-shattering, but solid
Yes, this book has many art ideas suitable for littles.Many, however, are pretty simple and obvious, so there isn't as much really helpful information as you'd think.Lots of them are the same as what you'd find in any other craft book geared to this age.That's ok, because you might not have all the other craft books, but it's something to keep in mind.Since I already have a fairly extensive collection of craft books, I didn't find a lot of new ideas in this one.

Fun & Easy to Use
This is a wonderful book!Well organized and easy to use.I love the illustrations which really help with the projects and my 2 and 3 1/2 year olds love the ideas.The author's enthusiasm for art and creativity really show!I highly recommend this book for all who want to see thier children develop a love for creativity and art!

Do not Buy this Book
This is the worst book I've read on critical thinking and logic. The examples the author uses are terrible....quite dull. And how many damn snippets on the environment can one person read without getting nausious?
The easiest way to learn the bases of critical thinking
I find this book one of the best introductory books addressing the essentials of critical thinking.The author discussed the elements of critical thinking in a very easy and comprehensive manner that broad range of readers can absorb easily.The chapters that discuss the assumptions and the credibility are really so valuable.Above all, the charts that summarize each chapter are so valuable to revise the whole story in a few statements. I do recommend this book for the readers searching for the easiest way to teach themselves the basics of critical thinking.

Interesting, Original, and Useful
Alec Fisher goes beyond the dry deductive logic and standard fallacy-spotting usually found in these critical-thinking textbooks. He gets into the WHY of poor reasoning and offers interesting and original exercises designed to make students understand the reasons for their failure to think rigorously, fairly, and creatively.

A Keeper
As a childcare provider I love this book it is a creative way to learn the alphabet a great resources if you make up your own curriculum. You may photo copy it for many years of use instead of purchasing aboxed curriculum every month for a certain number of children. Parent's are always interested to see what their children have learned.With each letter of the alphabet it is always different and interesting. But most important children have fun as they learn.

Great Book
I'm a teacher, and I have to say that this is a great book!I love how it breaks down activities by letter and also gives lesson ideas, too!It's very user-friendly!

Great for Pre-k!
I used this book with my 2004-2005 Pre-K class. It's very easy to incorporate the lessons into your daily/weekly calendar. My students particularly enjoyed the letter bag game (put mystery items into a pillowcase that begin with the letter you are teaching. Pass it around and have the children grab out 1 item and try to guess what it is). I incorporated it into show-n-tell Fridays. IE: Bring in something that starts with letter B. I would put those show n tell items into the letter bag & the kids loved seeing their item pulled out of the letter bag by other children.
