Book Description
Autowork focuses on the character of automobile work in the modern factory and the relationships between autoworkers, their union, and management from 1913 to the present. Two-thirds of the essays are devoted to the post-World War II period, which historians have not examined as extensively as the early years of the automobile industry.
In these original essays, the experiences of assembly-line workers come alive as never before. Using transcripts of government hearings, minutes of negotiations, records of arbitration proceedings, and articles in union newspapers, the authors present autoworkers' and union officials' descriptions of working conditions and the effect these conditions had on their health and home life. The essays analyze the dynamics of collective bargaining on important shop-floor issues such as safety, work pace, overtime, job assignments, and managerial discipline. Autowork demonstrates that many historians have underestimated the militancy and effectiveness of the United Automobile Workers of America.

Easy to read textbook.......2007-03-09
I really like the way these authors introduce Teaching credential students to the "real" world of teaching. They definitely don't sugar coat things. It is an interesting read and there are tons of call out boxes with pertinent information. For example, I am debating whether to teach at a private or public school when I finish with the credential program. In one chapter, there is a personal testimony of a woman who taught at public for numerous years and then switched to private. She explains the pros and cons of each situation. I found this information to be very helpful and pertinent to my future teaching career. As far as textbooks go, it is very well written and entertaining. This is probably a book I will hang onto at the end of the semester.

Book Description
Those Who Can, Teach is a current, dynamic, reader-friendly text that helps students make informed decisions about entering teacher education programs. The authors of this best-selling book use multiple sources, including biography and unique author dialogues, to increase student interest and involvement with the material. The authors' direct, conversational voice invites students to reflect on the problems and satisfactions of teaching in the United States, so students can regard becoming a teacher a positive challenge.
This text is organized around four themes"Schools and Students," "Teachers," "Foundations and the Future," and "The Teaching Profession"and a series of questions that are key to the central issues and concerns of teaching and learning. The Tenth Edition features increased emphasis on reflection and reflective teaching and a continued emphasis on diversity, with added statistics on minority groups, including Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans.
- New! The "Open to Debate" feature explores controversial education matters. In this feature, the two authors express opposing views on issues about which they truly disagree, providing readers with a balanced perspective instead of an established theoretical agenda.
- New! The "Voices from the Classroom" feature provides interviews with real teachers, administrators, and other school personnel who give tips and advice to new teachers on key topics.
- New! "Pause and Reflect Questions" appear 3-4 times in each chapter to encourage students to stop and consider an idea and its relevance to their own experiences.
- New! Increased coverage of standards-based education throughout the text includes a new correlating table that connects textbook content to INTASC (Interstate New Teacher Assessment & Support Consortium) teacher standards.
- New! A new student CD-ROM includes video resources, graphic resources, and primary text resources, all followed by reflection questions.
- An expanded companion web site includes ACE self-quizzes, links, additional "Voices from the Classroom" features, enhancements of "Biography," "Open to Debate," and "Policy Matters!" features with links to updated information and additional reflection questions. The site also includes a classroom observation guide and tips for creating a teaching portfolio.

Those who Can Teach by Kevin Ryan, James M. Cooper.......2003-09-26
The book is great but word to the wise: DO NOT I repeat DO NOT buy this book from : EDUBOOKEXPRESS They have BIG problems with Customer Service. I rate them very poor. I returned the book in the same condition it was sent, but it's been 3 weeks and I haven't recieved a response. And what's worse They are keeping my money. I'm still fighting to get my money back.
Excellent for prospective teachers!.......2000-07-14
Those Who Can, Teach discusses modern American education. The book is divided into sections on schools, teachers, students, the history of education, and careers in teaching. The reader will learn, for example, theories of learning; rules of conduct governing educators; issues confronting students; and the role of technology in the classroom.
Those Who Can, Teach explores the diverse and complex aspects of the education profession from grade school to high school.
A very comprehensive overview of the teaching profession........1999-03-14
I especially like the keywords and reflections at the end of each chapter. I am currently using this book as a text in a course designed for students who are seriously considering teaching as a career.

Insensitive.......2007-02-25
Youth are impressionable and this is emphasizing the fact that whatever is "trendy" or "cool" also includes being desensitized to racially insensitive comments. The whole "It's just a joke" doesn't cut it when there's alot of history behind racial stereotyping and the results from it, "joke" or "no joke." It all starts somewhere. We get enough of this from the media. How is the body of Christ any different if we're allowing this kind of material to circulate? It's not an issue of "us" against "them" but about truly being brothers and sisters in the church representing love, understanding, and compassion standing in solidarity with each other. Is this what we're truly teaching our youth? Or are we simply adding anything to the name of Christ to make Christianity more "trendy" and "enjoyable"? When was Christ about those things? How much are we compromising? ANd where does "loving your neighbor as yourself" fit here?
Contains Racially offensive material against Asian-Americans........2007-02-25
pokes fun at Chinese food delivery man with a stereotypical immigrant accent. Here are some exerpts:
"Herro, Dis is Wok's Up Restaurant calling to confirm your order. . . . I think that, yes, you total is 14 dollar 95 cent."
"Herro? This is Wok's Up Restaurant again. We have drive and drive, and we can't find you house. We don't find you house soon, you pu pu get cold. Pu pu good when it hot."
(Hostile) "Okay, we drive for long time looking for you house. I tell you, you go outside and I look for you. I am driving a red Rincon (Lincoln) Continental. You pu pu still getting cold. Bye!
"Okay, I drive for long time and I stil not find you house. So I am eating you pu pu! Ruckiry it still warm. I was hungry, so I eat it. Mmmmm . . . this pu pu is good. (Smacks lips a few times) You on my bad rist. You don't call us anymore. Bye!
Impressionable youth may be exposed to racist attitudes and may make fun of minorities with their friends because of messages from secular media, but I never expected that an upstanding organization like Zondervan would send these messages. I am absolutely disappointed and outraged that these authors and Zondervan has the intention to teach this to American teenagers in the name of Christ. Please join me and speak out. Do not purchase this product.

Book Description
Many successful people can point to a single teacher whose talent and dedication made a crucial difference in their lives. Sometimes former students clearly recall a teacher's casually brilliant remark that produced an instant "aha!" response; sometimes they are affected by a teacher's passionate devotion to professional duty. The methods of a great teacher are as varied and distinctive as teachers themselves, but the result - inspired teaching - is a gift enjoyed for a lifetime.
Those Who Can . . . Teach brings together personal reminiscences about gifted educators from a wide array of contributors, including writers, entertainers, business leaders, religious figures, politicians - and of course teachers themselves. Some are humorous, others irreverent, others sweet, still others passionately polemical. Based on interviews conducted by the editors, the book includes many excerpts culled from literature, personal letters, and film.

"Must" reading for all aspiring teachers........2000-05-09
We have all experienced teachers who inspired, challenged, encouraged their students, who expanded worlds, opened doors, and helped to achieve educational, career, and personal goals. Those Who Can...Teach! is a much appreciated tribute to the amazing men and women who devoted their lives (often at great sacrifice to themselves) to educating children of all ages and backgrounds, who made a difference in the lives of their young charges. Those Who Can...Teach! also serves as an effective inspiration to those who aspiring to affect the world for the better by educating the minds of the next generation, and the next, and the next.
Wonderfully warm and insightful.......1999-12-12
In a time when test scores are dropping and schools are embattled, here is a charming reminder of what dedicated teachers have done and can do. The essays are inspiring, wistful, funny, and instructive--even inspirational--but never sticky sweet. Don't give your teacher an apple--give him or her this book! (Students and former students will love it, too!)
Teachers will love it!.......1999-12-09
As a teacher, I was pleased to see a positive, upbeat book about teachers. I felt refreshed and inspired after reading these essays about people who have made a difference. The accounts are beautifully written, well-organized, and insightful. The essays illustrate the idea that teaching is an art and that effective teachers have a wide variety of styles and personalities.
EXCELLENT!.......1999-12-02
This book was great! The essayists were all beautiful writers, and the stories really took me back to my days as a student. Any teacher would love to get this book as a gift!
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR TEACHERS!.......1999-11-16

Customer Reviews:
Not your grandfathers NADA blue book.......2006-08-03
This book is great not just prices but a ton of knowledge that is extremely helpful... What to watch for and how to verify it... There are always those that try to get a little more than they deserve in any business... After reading this books hints and tips it is like you have twenty years experience in buying selling trading guitars... Many of my long time guitar experience friends are amazed when I come up with things that even they didn't know... Like serial codes that indentify what country their guitars were made... One of the biggest bang for the buck books I have bought in a long time...
Excellent Reference.......2005-12-27
I use this book as a reference in pricing. I have found it to be a very valuable tool for a starting point on pricing. Also, I have found it to be a very handy reference to locate model information without having to go to several sources. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in collecting or buying vintage guitars.
Great Book, Even If Some Information Is Mistaken.......2005-07-14
THE BLUE BOOK OF ELECTRIC GUITARS is a great book featuring information about different guitars, both old and new. Some information here needs to be taken like the humor in comedy films featuring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alyson Hannigan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and/or Melissa Joan Hart, because instruments that are still in production are listed as discontinued, but it's still a wonderful book.
R is for Ripoff.......2004-06-07
Had to return this stinker fast. Very incomplete book for guitars alone, never mind their value (Which most are valued too low in here). Inexperienced author (not the guy on the cover), some kid. I could not believe how bad it was. Format is terrible, it's painful looking up a particular guitar. A Good book for this type of info is Vintage Guitar Price Guide. It is a four star book (still incomplete) - I've yet to see a five star on this subject.......??
THE NOT SO BLUE BOOK.......2002-09-08
This is one real good book,loads of info,great reading,this book dont make me blue it brightens up my life,A1.

Book Description
There has been a wager that has existed underground for some time now - the Dead Pool. No longer a secret, the Dead Pool has reared its skeletal head out of the soil, and people everywhere are betting their cash on what celebrity they think will be the next to lie down and take the dirt nap.
Let's face it - we live in a culture that glorifies betting. Americans love to risk their money in all sorts of gambling endeavors: casinos, lottery tickets, bingo, and strangely enough, a bunch of dogs chasing rabbit fur attached to a fast moving stick. Gelfand and Wilkinson will provide you with the definite competitive edge needed to make all the intelligent bets on the deaths of others. You can even learn how to organize your own Dead Pool if there isn't one in your office already.
The Dead Pool includes lists compiled by the experts on whom the Grim Reaper currently has in his crosshairs, as well as profiling techniques which illustrate the telltale signs of impending death for a film star, athlete, rock musician or political leader. So read this book, stroke your chin, and place your bets.
Customer Reviews:
This book is great!.......1999-07-27

Book Description
Untitled
Adobe PageMaker 7.0 delivers the features you've asked for: seamless integration with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, the ability to merge text and images from database and spreadsheet applications, and ways to view and create PDFs--and even open and edit QuarkXPress documents--directly in PageMaker, to name just a few.
PageMaker 7.0 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide takes you step-by-step through these and all the other key features of this award-winnning page-layout stalwart.
Novices and pros alike will find this an indispensable guide to the latest version of PageMaker. If you're new to the program--or to page layout entirely--you can start with PageMaker basics: its desktop environment, creating a new document, and working with layouts, margins, and palettes. You'll never get lost in dense text or jargon. The book's clear, concise directions and plentiful screenshots ensure that you stay on track. Those who've worked with previous versions of PageMaker can use the page tabs to delve into more advanced topics, like the intricacies of type management, working with graphics, and putting the finishing touches on files for output in print or on the Web.
