Marching To Different Drummers gives teachers, administrators and parents comprehensive information about different ways people learn. The book builds a strong case for the importance and practicality of accommodating diverse learning and teaching styles in schools. It discusses culture and brain functioning theories and relates them directly to learning success.

Applications in seven different areas, including instructional methods and assessment are illustrated by various learning style models. This approach allows the reader to learn both about diverse applications and the variety of research in the area. The book also includes several chapters on practical applications of learning style theory.

Written in an engaging style, this book handles a complex topic sensitively and pragmatically.

This book is great! Its fun to see the story from two sides. And the way Stephanie thinks she has got an e-mail from the hotest boy in school, its actually the nerdy guy next door. Michelle sets it all up, will Stephanie end up with the hotest guy in school? Or the nedry guy nest door? Well, Michelle tries, and Stehpanie, is in love, as she always is.... The one who reads to the last page wil know!

This books does more than just tell you about the gentleman lawyer, Matthew J. Perry, it sets the scene for him before, during and now in South Carolina. The book puts in perspective what Perry had to deal with as he fought for the rights of South Carolina's African American citizens. He is an unflappable, decisive, thorough, warm, honest human being and a civil rights attorney par excellence. It is well written, with various contributors talking about him based on their experiences. It is well documented, so that it may also be used as a reference tool. It is timely and very readable. I recommend it highly.

Although she enjoys her favorite toy, Lauren realizes she needs to get out and meet a man, after all, there's no substitute for the real thing. When she runs into her neighbor, Alex, and needs his help, her fantasies about him may just become reality when sparks begin to fly. Will Lauren have to give up her other "boyfriend" or has she finally found someone who can handle both of them?


Me, My Next Door Neighbor, and Bob is a quick read that certainly captures your attention. Told in the first person, Lauren describes her life, specifically her sex life. Her quirky outlook is sprinkled throughout this narrative in which she discusses the advantages and drawbacks of having a battery operated boyfriend, or BOB, versus a real-life man. When her car dies and affords her the opportunity to spend time with her handsome neighbor, Lauren finally gets the chance to see just what she's missing. The sex is explosive and explicit, and is most definitely satisfying. This hot read is perfect for a quickie.

I origionally read this book at a friends house and loved it so much I bought it as a gift for my 87 year old grandmother. She also loves it and says it reminds her so much about what it was like when she was growing up. A time when things were simpler.

I first read this book in 1989 and it had a very profound impact on my life. The information is so valuable and so life changing. It affirmed much of what I thought and encouraged me to continue my spiritual path. It began my quest. I highly recommend this book. I can't believe I have found it again.

I read this book years ago and I loved it. I have apparently lost my copy, so I am ordering another one.

I teach information systems. One of the things I tell my students is to be VERY careful of what they say in e-mail. For, although I am not sure of love and taxes, I do know that email is forever.

I tell my students that e-mail is 'disembodied text'. We are sorely lacking in the punctuation to fully express ourselves. I have many more feelings than '?' and '!'.

How many times have our e-mails been misconstrued because the reader did not get the irony, or cynicism, or joking intent of our message?

Now enter METAPUNCTUATION!!! with many more symbols to more fully express ourselves.

But our ASCII character set, with just 256 possible characters, does not have room for more characters. And therein lies the problem. We must first adopt to the unicode character set (which supports over 65,000 different characters), before we can create new punctuation symbols. And boy do I have some ideas about new characters.

Ohhh, about this book. It is VERY funny. And you will learn just how lacking our character set is for fully expressing ourselves.

Keep that in mind when you write you next e-mail.

This book covers everything from building a mental and physical routine to concentration, relaxation, confidence, visualization and the conversations we have with ourselves on and off the golf course -- that affect performance. I've been able to apply these thoughtful recommendations off the golf course as well. This is a book for both life and golf. It is beautifully illustrated too. Outstanding!

From the early 1900s until the 1980s, United States governments openly and secretly undermined democracy in Nicaragua, whose indigenous Sandanistas finally ejected by force the latest in a series of U.S.-backed oppressive governments in 1979. Subsequent U.S. military and civilian harassment ensued. Burke equates U.S. meddling in Nicaragua with British meddling in colonial America, which drove Americans to rebel; but modern Americans, through indifference to their militarily-adventurous governments, suppress Central American rebellions against U.S. domination. Burke's book came out in 1988, before the 1990 Sandinista electoral defeat in Nicaragua, but its history, humor, and parallels are timeless.

If you're looking for a simply guide of 100 healing herbs. Then this is the book for you. Each herb has its' history, medicinal use, medicinal part, and preparation. Very informative, great book!
