This weighty, oversized paperback is a bargain for any new to the sport or seeking remedial instruction in book form: chapters provide an excellent introduction to everything from equipment to rules of the sport, strokes, and match strategies.

This title is nothing short of visionary!! - The model of teaching that is presented is one of absolute respect for teacher and student.

The approach is experiential and collaborative - teacher is not superior and student is not subordinate. The model assumes that the best learning happens when it is determined by the learner.

There is nothing in the model that suggests that "good" teaching be forsaken - quite the contrary, the emphasis is on excellence, innovation and personal responsibility. The model is flexible and accommodating of all learners - it is not however a "recipe" book - it requires the users to be pro-active.

The book discusses the theory and principles in depth, and provides a range of reflections on real classroom experiences.

The book offers a range of activities and exercises to be used in real classrooms by real teachers and real students.

Any teacher who is looking to affirm that learning can be a wonderful experience might find some benefit in reading this one.

Any parent looking to assist their children achieve their potential should also read this book and then take it to the school.

An absolute necessity for anyone involved in education who is thinking "there must be a better way."

This is a very informative book on everything one needs to know about teaching the string instruments, i.e., in this case, violin, viola, cello, and bass. Susan has added extra information to the older edition by her father, Norman Lamb, especially on the current technological development. The explanation of the technical terms is in just right amount that it doen't get too dry and detailed. I especially find that the chapter of "Selecting Instruments, Bows, and Cases" be most useful for inexperienced string teachers. The book is not designed to really teach one to play an instrument, but rather one to provide information on teaching the string instruments. One word of caution to buyers: the printing of pictures in some recent books has bad quality as if they were photo copied directed from a machine. I hope the pulisher would correct that.

Envites great practical applications and helpful advice on child behavior, safety, health, and learning. Offers ideas for developmentally appropriate learning opportunities, and the tools needed to accept responsibility at their own level. A must have in the Childcare field.

Hip Hop in a Box enables kids of all ages to learn Hip Hop - even those over 50! It offers all different mediums to learn. If you are a show-me learner, watch the DVD. If you are a book learner, read the book. If you want to review a certain move, use the flashcards. The "getting psyched" bubbles in the book offer great suggestions for encouraging learners at all levels and being prepared for learning challenges. What a great idea to get all of us kids moving!

It is a great book for children who like to draw. There are many baby animals in this book. There is a little story and step-by-step instructions for each baby animal.

I bought this book for my 5-year old son who loves trains, planes and boats. He was always asking me to draw these things for him, and I did the best I could. I figured this was a small amount to pay to see if this could help me draw better. Well, HE can draw better than I can! His confidence has also grown as he sees his drawings praised by others. This book has step-by-step instructions showing how to start out with basic shapes and to add details to complete the drawing. I, too, can draw these items better and with more detail than before. I will be purchasing the other books in this series. Money well spent.

I believe this book is both interesting and very good. Since it helps teach the individual the various aspects and techniques used to draw the human figure. Such as the different points-of-view an artist needs to consider when drawing the human figure and "short-cuts" used by other artists. It also describes the origin of figure drawing and a brief background to its development. In short, I feel that this book helps both the beginner and the intermediate artist develop his/her techniques and styles of drawing.

This book is amazing with color and pictures. The detail is amazing for first time drawers, i recommend this book for all artist who love to draw X-men.

these book is for beginners that dont know nothing about drawing
if that is you then these book is for you after reading these book you will be able to draw and have the drawing skills you need to build on your drawing skills get this book dont judge
it by its cover
