Roger LeRoy Miller has improved the quality of Economics today from last year. The book is very resourceful and if used for a class, no student will do poorly in the class. The definitions and data are presented clearly. Economics Today looks at the economy of today and of the past and shows what is beneficial for the economy and what is not. This excellent book has helped me learn all the content and leaning me to consider a major in economics.

Has a real knack for conveying complex economic concepts quickly and systematically with little effort. E.g., only a few minutes after reading the Keynesian perspective on fiscal policy I was able to graph and explain how equilibrium changes are affected by government spending. Not having an economics background I find this book remarkable!

For those of us who are interested in bringing old values and giving new directions to our present day education talk- this is a good book.

The book begins with a brief thought provoking Foreword by Thomas Moore on the meaning of "real education".

The author, John Miller discusses "Education and the Soul" [book's title] in two parts. In the author's words Part-1:Exploring Soul, "explores the nature of the soul" and Part-2:Nurturing Soul, "deals with how we can bring the soul into our schools".

The first part is a dicussion of the relevance of the Soul in Education, different (religious, philosophic, and contemporary) views of the soul, and the love -soul- work relationship. The second part is a discussion of a spiritual curriculum. It offers practical suggestions for the evolution of a soulful- curriculum, teacher and school.

For those of us who believe in the primacy of the heart over the mind kind of education, where words like "loving kindness, mindfulness, ..." are important, this book will confirm our beliefs. It will encourage our endeavours with more ideas to think about and act upon. For skeptics, this book might make you want to pause and re-think your views and practices. It will invite you to "bring soul into our classrooms and schools".

This is good reading especially for teachers, researchers and educators.

Pensacola Junior College has used Effective Communication for Colleges in our Business Communications class for several years. This textbook includes just exactly what we need to enable our students to communicate effectively both orally and in writing. The emphasis on grammar review is highly relevant and well constructed. The examples shown are timely and appealing to our students. Supplementary materials are helpful and easy to access. Keep up the good work!

This small, concise, book provides a great practical guide for anyone wanting to initate a support group of virtually any kind. I found it more helpful than college texts 10 times it's size.

I could not locate a copy of this book at local stores. Amazon.com was able to locate a copy of this book in reasonable time. The book is in excellent condition for a pre-owned, out of publication book. It is excellent with to the point information with regards to motors and related electrical. It can be used for both electrical and mechanical design references.

Informed, stylishly written, and fun to read, Edward D. Miller's book Emergency Broadcasting is a must -- especially for anyone interested in a new take on the history of American radio.

Miller skillfully connects radio's "intimate otherness" to various manifestations of the Uncanny (including Hamlet's Ghost, the delusions of paranoids and schizophrenics, and the voices of presidents). He does a close reading of three major broadcasting events of the '30s -- the reporting of the Hindenberg disaster; President Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats"; and Orson Welles's famous "War of the Worlds" broadcasts -- to show how radio both reassures and frightens the listener. A reinterpretation of the classical Echo and Narcissus myth in another chapter stretches his analogy about vocal disembodiment a bit too far into the ether. But Miller returns to earth to show the relevance of the myth to today's media landscape.

The book concludes with a chapter drawing parallels between 1930s American radio and the Internet, which will, I'm sure, surprise and delight many students as well as critics of "the virtual community."

Emmett's Snowball is a warm-hearted and funny book. Sweet but never cloying, the story is engaging and the characters are delightfully realistic, with none of the caricatures so often found in children's books. The writing style makes it especially fun to read aloud, but it's also good for a quiet read by oneself. The beautiful pictures complement the excitement and humor of the story.

emt review is the best review book. please take my word it is the best
