| 1062. Educating for Character: How Our Schools Can Teach Respect and Responsibility | |
|
by: Thomas Lickona List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This 1992 book is the "grandfather" of all the books in character education. Lickona compiles his experience in moral and ethical education, along with many, many examples from classrooms and schools. Thus, this is an especially teacher-friendly book. The theory is not expressed as clearly as it is in Ryan and Bohlin's Building Character in Schools, but Lickona's work is far more practical. A teacher or parent will get more from this book. I really loved his section on nine kinds of cooperative ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Robert Arbor, Katherine Whiteside List Price: $30.00 Amazon.com's Price: $20.40 You Save: $9.60 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I don't know whether everything in this book is true. I've never been to France. However, I know that I want it to be true, because what Mr. Arbor has written is so incredibly beautiful and inviting. When he describes how the French approach life with more deliberation and less haste, I sighed. I want that for myself. I want intimate dinners of well cooked food with well chosen friends. I want to cook a few things well, and be able to linger at the table, comfortable in the knowledge that, though the fare ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

The book picks up where my common sense leaves off. I frequently refer to this book after my own child has displayed a particular behavior.

Because the book is broken down by age per chapter, it is very easy to read and undersatnd without feeling overwhelmed. A+ Read Reviews and Description

| 1065. Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism | |
|
by: Benedict Anderson List Price: $20.00 Amazon.com's Price: $17.40 You Save: $2.60 (13%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Benedict Anderson's book Imagined Communities is an intriguing attempt at explanation of the phenomenon of nations and nationalism. Anderson's approach centers around the socio-cultural aspects of the explanation. For him a nation is by definition an imagined community, that is a community, the members of which are aware of each other's existence but, even for a lifetime do not meet or come to know a substantial number of the rest of the members of that community. Yet through a number of media they acquire a sense of ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1066. A Testament of Hope : The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. | |
|
by: Martin Luther King List Price: $23.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.77 You Save: $7.18 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've studied the works of Dr. King since I was 7 years old, and now my 7 year old is studying him with great interest. I figured this book (a gift) would be a good summation of his career instead of the other half dozen individual books I have in my library. Well, as with his other work, there are many, many typographical errors. I feel that a man of his education would be offended to see his works corroded by half-assed spell checking.

Customer Reviews and Description Jim Bruton's THE BIG HOUSE gives readers an eyeful about prison behavior in a supermax security facility. It's a treat for anyone who has ever wondered what life must be like inside the walls of a tiny cell, a noisy cellblock, a razor-wired prison yard, or the much-feared "hole." Not only does Bruton, a retired warden of 35 years in the field of corrections, portray the kinds of criminal personalities who damage their quarters or harass other inmates (including the daily power struggles and endless game-playing for control), ...
