Useful for the Novice.......2006-11-22
Four or five stars is what I would give depending upon your level of knowledge and experience in training. For the person new to training, this may well be an invaluable source to handle situations normally learned after years of experience. It may also be a valuable source for people who have not been very good at training, and have not been positive role models for years. For these people, the cost is well worth it. For those with a great deal of positive learning and experience, it may be nothing more than a review or validation of what they are already doing. Those people will also lament the high cost.
Disappointed.......2002-04-27
This book addresses a topic that because of behavioral styles, experience, and communication ability, many trainers have a challenge handling - participants who do not cooperate or who make things difficult. While Pike/Arch provide some useful ideas and tips that are valuable for less experienced trainers, the content does not justify the cost. There are large graphics, and wide margins which leave a lot of white space. If content was expanded or if it were priced [lower]it would be a better value.
good tips, easy to read large print, but not worth the $25........1999-08-27
This book has some worth to it for the beginning trainer. However, we were disappointed that the publisher had used very large margins, and very large fonts to make it appear to have more content then what it has. It is a paperback book that looks to be around $10-15, not the $25 asking price. We're sending the books back that we purchased for our trainers. It's not what we were expecting. But if you have a lavish budget, and don't care about costs, then it would be an ok addition for the "trainer library".
Easy to read, with specific and realistic examples!.......1999-01-05
A great way to quickly pick up ideas for those problem people in EVERY classroom. I train technology and, although this book is not necessarily geared toward technology training, I believe I can easily apply these strategies in my sessions. Thanks Bob & Dave!

Book Description
Slatkin and Veuille invite leading population geneticists to summarise many of the recent developments in population genetics theory and its application to genetic data. The book has been assembled in honour of the late Gustave Malecot, one of the pioneers of theoretical population genetics. Whilst early chapters summarise Malecot's life and scientific contributions, the rest of the book is devoted to topics that trace their origin in Malecot's work. Several of the contributions describe recent developments in the coalescent theory, which can be viewed as a generalisation of Malecot's method for analysing identity by descent. Other chapters discuss recent developments in the study of geographic variation, genetic linkage, and allele age. The diversity of topics and the effectiveness with which various theoretical methods can be applied to DNA sequence data illustrates both the increasing relevance of theoretical population genetics and the depth of Malecot's insight into fundamental genetic processes. This exciting work will be of interest to population and statistical geneticists as well as a wider audience of evolutionary biologists.
Book Description
This book is a teacher's resource that provides complete instructions and teaching techniques for teaching basic physics principles through simple activities that use popular children's toys like Legos, Tomy Push-n-go fire engine, magnet cars, balloons, bouncing balls, and others. The activities are grouped by appropriate grades, i.e., K-3, 4-6, and 7-9. Each activity provides the teacher with a list of key science topics.

Review of Teaching Physics with Toys.......2005-09-07
Although this book has what seem to be some really fun and illustrative experiments, I was a bit put off with how many toys and other prepatory materials I will need to purchase. Since I home school my daughter, I will be buying things for one time use. I'm not sure how much I will actually use this book.
Good Resource for the Science Teacher's Library.......2000-08-09
This book offers 42 activities, evenly distributed among K-3, 4-6, and 7-9. As is often the case with such resources, those categories meant little to my eighth grade students or me. If you are a teacher, you know that you can adapt almost any activity to make it fit your needs.
The activities all include the following well developed sections: key science topics, key process skills, time required, materials - for getting ready - for introducing the activity - for the procedure - for variations and extensions, safety and disposal, getting ready, introducing the activity, procedure, variations and extensions, explanation, assessment options, cross-curricular integration, and some of the activities also have hand-out masters. (I wish they all did, but the assessment options provided are a good substitute.)
My only problem with the book is that some of the activities do require the purchase of a real toy. I found that sometimes this resulted in a time-consuming quest. I put an asterisk after those activities requiring items I found difficult to locate (but eventually did).
Activities: (1) Gravity Makes Things Fall (2) Comparing Mass Using A Pan Balance (3) Measuring Mass Using a Pan Balance (4) Ramps and Cars (5) Balloon on a String (6) Ping-Pong™ Puffer (7) Balancing Stick (8) The Skyhook (9) The Six-Cent Top (10) Bouncing Balls (11) Snap, Crackle, Pop (12) Magic Balloon (13) Magnet Cars (14) School Box Guitar (15) Forces and Motion (16) Crash Test (17) Two-Dimensional Motion (18) Understanding Speed* (requires wind-up walking toys) (19) Push-n-Go® (20) The Toy that Returns (21) Physics with a Darda® Coaster* (22) Exploring Energy with an Explorer Gun®* (23) Bounceability (24) Energy Toys Learning Center (25) Simple Machines with Lego® (26) Gear Up with a Lego Heli-Tractor (27) Levitation Using Static Electricity (28) Doc Shock* (requires Operation® game) (29) Walking Feet* (30) Downhill Racer (31) The Projectile Car (32) Balance Toys and the Center of Gravity (33) Whirling Stopper (34) Floating Cans (35) Falling Filters (36) Stick Around (37) Delta Dart (38) Mini Motor (39) Sound Tube (40) Bull Roarer (41) Singing Chimes (42) Tube Spectroscope
Book Description
This comprehensive collection of nearly 200 investigations, demonstrations, mini-labs, and other activities uses everyday examples to make physics concepts easy to understand. For quick access, materials are organized into eight units covering Measurement, Motion, Force, Pressure, Energy & Momentum, Waves, Light, and Electromagnetism. Each lesson contains an introduction with common knowledge examples, reproducible pages for students, a "To the Teacher" information section, and a listing of additional applications students can relate to. Over 300 illustrations add interest and supplement instruction.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Resource for Physics teachers.......2007-04-22
I first got this book while student teaching, and taught by the author, Norman Herr. A most excellent teacher. His book is quite useful and highly recommended for any physics teacher.
Excellent resource for teaching a homeschool co-op.......2007-03-12
I bought this as a source for ideas for hands-on activities for my homeschool co-op class. The explanations are straight-forward and the activities are easily created with found objects and home supplies.
My only caution is that you need to have an understanding of the mathematics of physics first. This may not be enough of a text to stand on its own for a non-science, non-math person.
A necessity for any Physics or Physical Science teacher........1998-04-27
This book is packed with dozens of demonstrations and lab activities for every physics concept taught in the upper grades 7-12. Can be used to supplement the textbook or on its own. Each section (Ex: Electricity) has a brief 1-2 page overview, followed by real life examples and activities to understand the concepts. Excellent for "stepping-up" a very basic physical science text. Illustrations and reproducible worksheets.
