One of the best books on meditation. The author is an amazing man and very good example.

As a teacher and Reading Specialist, I know well the dread many students experience at the thought of research reports. This reaction is due in large part to a lack of knowledge on how best to approach research for different purposes. Likewise, many teachers don't look forward to teaching research skills given the lack of good models and student disinterest. In this book, teachers finally have an invaluable resource for helping students conduct research and enjoy the process!

Easy Steps for Writing Fantastic Research Reports is not just another "how-to" book. Rather, teachers and parents will find multiple lessons, organizers, and checklists accompanied by tips for motivating students. This book not only outlines a model for many research, but also provides timelines and planning models for integrating research into curriculum throughout the year. Most importantly, the model is presented through meaningful contexts that engage students.

The strategies and activities in this book detail how teachers can provide meaningful instruction through mini-lessons that incorporate reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills for any appropriate content. Teachers can design instruction around units for any curriculum. More importantly, the ideas in this book don't require fancy materials or preparation. Teachers can begin implementing the suggestions immediately. The wonderful reproducibles allow teachers to read about instruction and put it into practice.

As students progress through the late elementary and middle school years, conducting research is a common assignment. Students are eventually expected to write research reports independently or at home. Providing students with the opportunity to learn effective approaches and become skillful researches is extremely important. There is simply no better guide or text that exclusively addresses developing research skills in the late elementary grades than Easy Steps for Writing Fantastic Research Reports. I've already had colleagues ask where to find this book and beg to borrow my copy.

This is a great book for people who like variety without complicated patterns. There is one doll that can be outfitted with many different outfits that are provided here. You can also make rag, baby, and ethnic-style dolls. It's a great book for those with little experience who want to learn more

This book is a great how-to. Starting out with information on basic sewing techniques, it continues on with stitching, pattern making, dying fabrics, and sewing and stuffing dolls. The doll patterns are for 16 1/2" dolls, and the clothing patterns are for 1) Little Red Riding Hood, 2) Little Bo Peep, 3) Hansel & Gretel, 4) Goldilocks, 5) Cinderella, 6) Fairy Godmother, 7) Witch, 8) Pinocchio, 9) Little Mermaid, 10) the Three Bears, and 11) Humpty Dumpty. Each section includes patterns, and step-by-step instructions.

Everything you could want is in this book, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I never in my life thought I could learn ro make teddy bears and I certainly couldn't afford the "popular" artist bears. This book teaches you how to make bears, step-by-step.The patterns are true to size, so no enlarging is necessary. Lots of good tips about which type of fabric to choose and even how to make clothes for your bears. A "must have" for anyone thinking bearmaking is only for the "pros."

Buy it, thats the best advice I can give. This book can help anyone to better understand the field of economics and comprehend economics texts more easily.

This book is FUNNY.

I have read "Tomás" to my students for two years. They love the colorful cartoon-like illustrations, the funny sounds in the "talking bubbles," and how naughty Tomás is.

The text is easy for emergent readers to handle themselves. Much of the text is presented in short utterances or simple sentences. The longer section in the middle of the book is done rebus-style.

I laughed myself silly the first time I read the book, then I shared it with my co-workers, who also cackled.

It's worth buying for your permanent collection.

classic text for geotechnical engineers .... great cookbook solutions for quick preliminary evaluations

This was the first book I read for my Communication Engineering course and this subject became one of my strengths after I read it. The style of writing is conversational and not overly technical.The arrangement of the topics is again just like a beginner needs for it to be.The language is lucid .The matter covers not only the technical details but also the practical difficulties.The author has taken pains to make things simple except in places like receivers where its impossible. In my opinion it is the best place you can learn your basic radio and modulation thoery and also stuff about receivers and radio wave propagation from.Be sure to read about tuned amplifiers,oscillators and push-pull amplifiers...you wouldnt understand most of the book if you dont know these elementary concepts.

There were very few things that I didnt find in this book...one was the procedure for determination of AM modulation index by the use of a Oscilloscope,but i dont think i can recall anything else which was missing.
