Book Description

Tomorrow's Teachers, Tomorrow's Schools, and Tomorrow's Schools of Education are a collection of reports from the Holmes Group, and later the Holmes Partnership, addressing principles of teaching as a profession by focusing on the teachers' roles in the schools, the role of schools in communities, and the role and obligation of schools and colleges of education in the preparation of teachers.

Tomorrow's Teachers (1986) outlines the principles of teaching as a profession, which include making the education of teachers rigorous and relevant, providing defensible standards of entry into the profession, and connecting schools of education with K-12 schools.

Tomorrow's Schools (1990) covers the principles for the design of professional development schools including promoting more ambitious conceptions of teaching and learning, adding to and reorganizing knowledge about teaching and learning, ensuring responsible research and development is done in schools, providing professional development for veteran teachers and administrators to improve schools, creating incentives for college faculties to work in schools, and strengthening relations between schools and the broader political/social/economic communities in which they reside. Tomorrow's Schools of Education (1995) advocates a new core curriculum for all prospective education professionals and the necessary restructuring of the organization of schools, colleges and departments of education in research universities.

This collection is useful for courses on teacher education, curriculum development, restructuring schools of education and teacher preparation, educational administration, principles of teaching and learning, school reform, teacher reform, research on teaching and learning, research on the development of schools.

Book Description

This incredible book is written for both new trainers as well as those that are more experienced. New trainers apreciate Dr. Dick Leatherman's easy style of writing, personal examples, and detailed "How to do it!" instructions. Experienced trainers become even more effective by obtaining new ideas from Dick's 40 years of training experience. For all trainers, this book is a "Must" for their library. It is also an excellent participant's book to use when training trainers.

Effective trainers know that the training that is delivered is only as good if it addresses the real needs of their participants. A trainer's job does not usually begin with the development and delivery of a training program, it starts with a determination of the training needs that exist in the participant to be trained. This book begins at the beginning-needs assessment. This section in the book describes the clues that can tell us it is time to consider some kind of action. It helps us make sense of the convoluted subject of sampling procedures, and discusses in detail the ways that we can collect needed information to ensure that training is actually the right action to take.

After an analysis of the needs of the participants is completed, the next step is to design the program. Boring training sessions are not always the fault of lackluster trainers. If the training design itself is ineffective, poor training will likely result, regardless of the facilitator's skill and energy. Because training design is so important for quality training, over half of the book is devoted to this subject. This section deals with learning principles, describes in detail a 10-step planning process, provides detailed descriptions on how to document your training design, and presents a model for making decisions about off-the-shelf commercial training packages.

Finally, the book describes the steps necessary for effective training. This section starts with a detailed discussion of training ethics and integrity-the foundation of good training. The book closes with a detailed, step-by-step process for effective training, starting with "preparation" and ending with "closing and follow up."

Product Description

The key to happiness, or to making life satisfying and meaningful, requires that we develop our mind and emotions until we can think for understanding and care whole-heartedly. The training for this development is offered in three books that begin with: "The Conscious Alternative to Normal Life." Here, we contrast a normal versus conscious picture of life. In the normal picture, our life is structured by a purpose to pursue approval, security and pleasure. By contrast, with a conscious picture, we acquire an innocent burning desire to develop our mind and emotions so we can master every need and potential. Then, in "The Internal Choices, Needs and Fufillment that Define a Conscious Life": we identify four choices that define our perspective and priorities for life. We also define four internal needs: personal conversation, conscious touch, internal development, and life affirming self-renewal. Next we describe the attitudes and skills necessary to fufill our internal potential to become a consciously competent person, satisfying mate, competent parent and real friend. Finally, in "Mastering the Mystery of Being Alive": we define the seven mental tools necessary to see reality accurately and think for understanding. Next, we extend our list of internal needs to include: Self-worth, to offer a genuine emotional bond, to create meaningful work, and to feed our mind truth and emotional beauty. Feeding internal needs is essential because it creates the emotional energy necessary to create a satisfying life and to care whole-heartedly. The information in all three books is required to live with intelligence, passion, playfulness and purpose. --from book's back cover

The Definitive Training Text.......2007-05-11

"The Training Trilogy," 3rd Edition, by Dr. Dick Leatherman is the definitive text on training. I have used Dick's concepts and materials in leadership and management workshops on four continents in a wide variety of industries for twenty-five years. His guidance is practical, entertaining and, more importantly, it really works. I enthusiastically endorse this book and strongly encourage all training professionals worldwide to become, as I have, a Dick Leatherman Disciple.

Very basic and provides very less information on PK data analysis.......2007-08-20

I picked up this book with great hope, but it has fallen short to my expectation. The author has presented the idea of PK modelling in a very lucid way and for that the effort of the author is commendable. But this book is really very basic, most of the times it just introduces with the basic concept but very unwillful to go beyond of that. Sometimes it reiterates the same thing again and again, as a result number of pages has been increased withoug much increment of information in the book. This book mostly discusses with the IV method of drug administration. It provides the idea of two compartment pk model for Oral administration of drug only in a single para and does not provide any mathematical calculation. In nutshell, the book is very basic and does not help anybody who wants to be self-sufficient in PK data analysis.

Book Description

The impression is quite common that satisfactory views of the heavenly bodies can be obtained only with very large telescopes, and that the owner of a small one must stand at a great disadvantage alongside of the fortunate possessor of a great one. This is not true to the extent commonly supposed. Sir William Herschel would have been delighted to view the moon through what we should now consider a very modest instrument; and there are some objects, especially the moon, which commonly present a more pleasing aspect through a small telescope than through a large one.

Book Description

This book explores the epistemological and ethical issues at the foundations of environmental philosophy, emphasizing the conservation of biodiversity. Sahota Sarkar criticizes previous attempts to attribute intrinsic value to nature and defends an anthropocentric position on biodiversity conservation based on an untraditional concept of transformative value. Unlike other studies in the field of environmental philosophy, this book is as much concerned with epistemological issues as with environmental ethics. It covers a broad range of topics, including problems of explanation and prediction in traditional ecology and how individual-based models and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology is transforming ecology. Introducing a brief history of conservation biology, Sarkar analyzes the new consensus framework for conservation planning through adaptive management. He concludes with a discussion of the future directions for theoretical research in conservation biology and environmental philosophy.

Tries to do too much.........2000-07-04

This is a very terse book. The stated purpose, according to the authors (Kevin Gaston and John Spicer at the University of Sheffield, UK) is to "cover as much ground in as few pages as possible." It succeeds, to a limited extent, by providing an outline to key issues associated with biodiversity research. It supplements this skeletal approach with numerous references for additional reading, and a few URLs. While there is a clear need for a succinct reader on biodiversity, I cannot recommend this book as a good introductory text. It tries to be too broad (including, e.g., biodiversity below the earth's surface) rather than being more informative on a focused range of topics. As a result the coverage on many of the topics is maddeningly shallow - for example, 1 page on species-area relationships, 1/3rd of a page on local versus regional diversity (without reference to alpha, beta, gamma diversity), a short paragraph on patterns of diversity with productivity, and a discussion of endemism without reference to historical or spatial isolation. One way the 113-page book might have been better executed in comparable length is by omitting the marginally informative 5th chapter on "maintaining biodiversity," which uses 1/6th of the book's length to outline the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. Despite these crippling problems the book does convey many of the critical issues facing scientists, environmentalists and policy makers in this poorly understood (and frequently misrepresented) subject. The first 3 chapters provide a useful overview of the elements and surrogates for biodiversity, historical diversification, and some of the challenges to mapping biodiversity at a range of spatial scales.

At last, the Dummies series is tackling football. Former Raider all-pro defensive end and current Fox TV analyst Howie Long calls the signals, and if he doesn't always go deep--he's got a lot of ground to cover--at least he connects. With all its X's and O's, football is a complicated sport, and Long works hard to smooth the way: "Once you break through that initial fear of being overwhelmed by football and what you don't understand," he counsels, "I know everything else about the game, like dominoes, will fall into place." In his role as guide, Long plays those dominoes, from peewees to the pros to the fantasy leagues, explaining positions, analyzing offenses and defenses, and detailing strategies. As with all Dummies guides, the fun part is the "Part of Tens," the series of top-10 lists that dig in for the final chapter. He scores big with his inclusions of John Hannah and Hugh McElhenny among the greatest offensive players ever, but should be penalized for overemphasizing tight ends and forgetting the electricity that wide receivers bring to the game. This, of course, reflects a defensive end's natural bias; since they muck it up more with the hulkier tight ends, they simply let the speedballs fly by. --Jeff Silverman

Book Description

Are you one of the millions of people across America are intrigued by professional football – and all types and levels of football? Perhaps you have a friends or a number of friends who have made the football season a ritual, from the last weekend in August until Super Bowl Sunday at the end of January. To be a part of that experience, you need to have a working knowledge of the game.

Football For Dummies, 2nd Edition, can provide you with that knowledge and help you relate to the passionate football fans in your life. On the surface, football may seem to be a very complicated game. The game becomes far less intimidating once you begin to understand the fundamentals of the game. After you break through that initial fear of being overwhelmed by football and what you don't understand, everything else about the game will fall into place, like dominoes. Get ready to find answers to all your football questions, such as:

Why do they call it the "gridiron" anyway?
Is the ball really made of pigskin, or is that an inside joke?
Why do you get six points for a touchdown but only three points for a field goal?
Does it really matter how all those guys line up on the field?
Does it really mean something when the officials do those funny signals with their arms, or are they just bored out there?

If you don't know a touchdown from a touchback or an interference penalty from an interception, then this book is for you. You'll find easy-to-understand explanations of these topics and more:

The football season
Rules and regulations
Keys to successful offensive line play
Defense tactics and strategies
Coaches, general managers, and other important folks
Youth leagues and high school football
Why people love college football
Fantasy leagues
Conditioning, training, and diet

Authors Howie Long – Emmy-award-winning football commentator and eight-time Pro Bowl defensive end – and John Czarnecki – editorial consultant for CBS NFL Today and Fox NFL Sunday – have teamed up to bring you the ultimate fan's guide to football. This second edition of Football For Dummies has been updated to cover new teams, stadiums, and players.

Just like the title states..........2007-09-04

My son got this because he was going to try football this year, well it didn't work out, so I think I'm going to sell the book. It does have a lot of info though. Definitely good book for beginners.

Non Fiction.......2007-09-03

Football for Dummies by Howie Long is actually a reasonable book. It would probably be ok for showing to non-yanks, as well, to try and fill them in on the basics of the gridiron, and how it is covered and watched.

Gives detail on positions, downs, the basic rules, all the sort of useful information for the casual viewer or those starting to want to learn.

Touchdown for the Dummies team!.......2007-06-08

I love Howie Long. Let me just get that out of the way. His inimitable style on Fox NFL Sunday just gets the perfect platform with the publishing of his Football for Dummies book. Howie makes it clear that his guide to the ins and outs of football is not just for the novice fan. He takes great pains to be as thorough and yet, as entertaining as he can, while delving into the mechanics and the glories of the sport he devoted his life and his heart to. A great reference to pull off the shelf when you don't understand why the ref made the call he just made, or how the game works when your spouse is too busy watching the game to explain it to you. :-)

My husband, yes my husband watches Football with me now.......2007-03-08

I bought this book for my husband because he just didn't get it. Now he'll tell me what I missed, and can explain it too, wait he might know more than me now, gotta go read.

book report.......2007-01-10

great book. Even if you know or think you know a lot about football, this book will help you understand the strategies and history of the game even more.

Night Terrors, sounds scary doesn't it? Wrong. By the title it sounds like it's the type of book you don't want to read if you get scared easily, but this book isn't scary enough to scare a six year old. It's a collection of short stories that are supposed to frighten you. In addition to being boring many of the stories don't make since. For example "The Monkey's Wedding", about an old lady's son painted a famous picture called "The Monkey's Wedding." The stories most interesting event was when the old lady got a phone call saying here son had been killed, then the picture was mailed to her and the story ended. I can see how this book might be interesting to some people, but wasn't to me. When started reading this book I thought it would be scary, it didn't come close. On the good side this book was well written and had a lot of detail. Some of the stories did interest me but more often than not the stories were a disappointment. I think the author should have put different stories in the book or just changed the title to something that wasn't scary sounding. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone except for parents to read to kids five and under. This book is a disappointment.

Don't Turn Out the Lights..............2000-11-15

If you are a lover of scary stories,this book is made for you! Not only are the storys so frightining that you won't want to go to bed, there is more that one of them!
