At the isolated Butler's Station a number of people will come together in a violent death struggle. There's Bulter and his son and the woman who'd decided to stay. First to arrive the sole survivor of an Apache ambush, U.S. Cavalry Sergeant Blaine who's badly wounded. Then come the outlaw brothers Reece, they're planning an ambush of their own of the soon to arrive stagecoach carrying three lawmen and their prisoner, Sid Reece. And following the stage are the Apaches who are planning to burn Butler's Station to the ground and kill all within it. Thus the lawmen and outlaws must join forces to battle this common enemy but can they trust each other?

Richard Wyler gives us an action packed story and great characters. His description of the Arizona landscape was well done and I could almost feel the oppressive heat. The struggle the white characters have with trusting each other, the expectation of these people turning on one other at any moment, the burning desire of the Apaches to kill the whites, all combine in this fast moving tale to provide an gripping read.

It says on the front of the book `A classic tale of the West', reckon I can only agree with that statement!

Well worth your money.

Written for the average 4th to 8th grader, this book offers 35 worksheets for students to learn test practice and quickly draw conclusions and inferences.

Page illustrations are minimal, appropriate for students up through high school. The last few worksheets are for testing a student's written skills of mastery of the topic at hand.

I would have liked to see a broader spectrum of reading levels addressed in the reading samples. Still worth the purchase.

As the parent of my now 18-month-old daughter, I find this book to be a valuable resource in understanding infant development. Even though it is designed to help teachers build a curriculum for infants from birth to 18 months, I found the activities, the theoretical discussions and the assessment tools to be also very useful in a parent-child environment. Each chapter is content-based (me, Mommies and Daddies, Big and Little, Cars, Trucks and Trains. etc.) and provides various ideas to promote movement, literacy, music, sensory/art and curiosity. My daughter, my husband and I had tremendous fun implementing these ideas indoors and outdoors. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I am in charge of our preschool- First grade children's church and was trying to find some lessons for the teacher's to use. I ordered this book and was pleased with it's organization and approach to teaching the lessons. Each lesson starts with a story and then gives 5 0r 6 activities to go along with the main idea(scripture quote) of the story. I am so thrilled with it that I am ordering the other books in this series.

I am extremely pleased with this book. Of all the math-centers books I have, I keep coming back to this one. (As well as the K-1 version, which I also highly recommend.) The centers are easy to set up and don't take any weird, hard-to-find materials. Also, they are not very complicated so my students understand how to do them after me showing them just once. The centers are also really relevant-- relating perfectly to the standards I teach. The students enjoy the hands-on math action and I see how much it helps the students get a deeper understanding. I highly recommend this book!

Links landscape, aquatic, terrestrial, social, & economic characterizations to describe biophysical & social systems. Integration was achieved through a framework built around 6 goals of ecosystem mgmt. & 3 views of the future. Different approaches to mgmt. can alter the risks to the assets of people living in the Basin & to the ecosystem itself. Continuation of current mgmt. leads to increasing risks while mgmt. approaches focusing on reserves or restoration result in trends that mostly stabilize or reduce risks. But population increases & the pressures of expanding demands on resources may cause increasing trends in risk. Illustrated

Also available in a hardcover edition (159385157X, $45.00), Integrating Instruction: Literacy And Science is the collaborative effort of Judy McKee (Science consultant, Wilmette Public Schools, Wilmette, Illinois) and Donna Ogle (Professor of Reading and Language, National-Louis University). A part of the Guilford "Tools for Teaching Literacy" series, Integrating Instructions covers such topics as integrating science and language in science units, writing to learn in science, effective uses of technology, the connection that can bridge science-fiction to a passion for learning, and much more. Written especially to promote motivated learning in science and literacy alike, and offering tools to help assess student learning in agreement with national and state standards, Integrating Instruction is a valuable resource particularly in the twenty-first century when communication skills and practical scientific and technological awareness are more important than ever.

Calling all NASA fans! We had this book handy the day the International Space Station was in the news... one of over 150 titles in the "Let's Read-and-Find-Out Science" series that we own and use constantly! Begun in the 1960s, this series is just perfect when you want to explore a specific topic. Books about the different phases of the moon, the ways of ants, ladybugs, gravity, your skeleton.... all kinds of timeless books with timeless information presented in a living way! But what about the books about rockets and sattelites? Boy, are they outdated! That is why I was so delighted with this great new title. Generous oversized format with LOTS of detail.

The pictures are educational. Elementary school students love to color the pictures as a reward for finishing early. Excellent time filler for the harried teacher.
