AMONGST IMMORTALS isn't your usual military history, but a collection of prose poems written to capture the third day of Gettysburg. All poems are written in the first person in the midst of battle, using impressions of the minds of leaders and soldiers to bring the Gettysburg experience home. A unique approach and recommendation for any Civil War library.

The concept of social class, the evolution of class systems in modern society, the relationship between "class" and the present concern with "status," the balance and interaction among three elements of the social structure: citizenship, social inequality, and the economic interest groups; and the effect of the increasing affluence of the postwar world on the "welfare state" are the central themes of this collection of essays by one of Britain's foremost sociologists and the former president of the International Sociological Association.

This book is great, very well written and it includes great math concepts. Also includes a homemade applesauce recipe at the end which turned out perfect, my kids LOVE this book.

I purchased this book a couple of months ago and immediately put it to use in my 8th grade Language Arts classroom. The change in attitude for both my students and myself was AMAZING. Students who "pretended" to read before suddenly began actually reading "for real". As a result, their vocabularies improved, test scores went up, and some of them developed a passion for reading (and writing) which wasn't there before. Not only did my students begin enjoying books, I enjoyed teaching from these same books.

One important tip: Always, always, always read the books you assign your kids ahead of time. Read them not just for content for "the test", but find books that are funny and relevant to THEM.

I can't say enough about this book. Buy it, use it, and savor every magic moment when your kids finally enjoy reading!
