EXCELLENT FOR STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND TEACHER INSERVICING!

This sourcebook has been the most effective for making changes in my classroom! It provides details of things to consider when starting a new year of teaching (or your first!) It details everything from how to make procedures (and includes an exhausting list of them), how to facilitate learning through a wide variety of intructional activities, and how to organize assessments and grades so they make sense! And much, much more!!

Every teacher should invest in a copy of this book and take a walk through it's pages. It's very easy to read, includes a number of resources, and gives us a good look at our teaching practices. A reflective teacher is a much more effective teacher!

I absoultly loved this book. It has gorgeous pictures and all the details I could ask for. It included all the nessacary information for a detailed report and a good grade. It is the best book about the Cathedral of Amiens. I had such a difficult time trying find information on such a wonderful topic until I found this amazing book. This book will be a wonderful addition to anyones library and an amazing read too!

it was incredable it was pack full of information it was great for my project I recamend it to anyone

It's a good thing I do most of my reading on the toilet, because Murray made me laugh so hard I wanted to pee my pants. His quick wit and realistically eccentric characters keep you engaged, entertained, and give you a nostalgic sense of those crazy people who we may have forgotten who've touched our lives in poignant ways.

A great smorgasboard of all things Irish, including a history of the isle. I read this before going to Ireland in '96 and it was a great primer, giving me a taste of Irish mythology to Irish recipies.

This excellent book explains why the Major Government privatised rail, privatisation’s effects, and what we should do about it.

Privatisation cost the country £6 billion. We gave Railtrack £1000 million a year, £350 million of which it gave to its shareholders. It collapsed last October owing £1.8 billion to subcontractors and £700 million in bills and interest payments to bondholders and banks. The directors of the rail firms prioritised their shareholders’ interests over trivia like safety and public service. They cut costs by sacking maintenance workers – there were 31,000 in 1994, only 19,000 in 2000. Rolling stock, track and signalling equipment are all in a far worse state than under investment-starved British Rail.

One caveat: Murray claims that the EU had nothing to do with the privatisation. But EU Regulation EC91/440 ordered that management and financing of track and train services be separate, run on strictly commercial lines and be totally independent of the state. The Commission wants to open up all public services likewise. (See its report COM (2000) 580, ‘Services of a General Interest’.)

This government, like its predecessor, opposes introducing the best Automatic Train Protection system, first recommended in 1988, because it would cost too much. We have the world’s highest standard rail fares: fares on the London-Manchester route – a Virgin Trains monopoly –have risen by 50% since 2000.

Tested in practice, privatisation has failed to produce a safer, more reliable and more punctual service. The government’s response? Introduce the same failed system into London Underground, education and the National Health Service. Don’t Labour’s focus groups ever include any of the 76% of us who want rail renationalised? Or the 89% who oppose handing public services over to private firms? Why doesn’t the government just renationalise rail? Because it is not democratic: it is totally beholden to private finance.

Under PFI, sorry, PPP, firms would be borrowing the money: why not let the public sector do that itself? And we could build the trains and rolling stock we need at Derby, York and Birmingham. We want a publicly run, democratically accountable, integrated railway, instead of the 100-piece, privatised anarchy we now endure.

The book " His Banner Over Me" by Jean Little is an excellent book. I would recommend it only for 12 and older, even adults !!!

This guide is absolutely mandatory for anyone collecting soundtracks and cast albums. The price ranges are accurate and the lllustrations fun and informative. I have used my original copy so much that I am ordering another. A must have for serious collectors and those new to the hobby.

A collection of essays, commentaries and reviews noteworthy for their unorthodox historical and social perspectives. Murray states a compelling case against social science, which he condemns as a tool used by white supremacists to achieve aegregation, negation and subjugation. Topics include White Norms for Black Deviation, The Illusive Black Middle Class. and James Baldwin, Protest Fiction, and the Blues Tradition. An excellent companion volume to The Unheavenly City Revisited by Ed Banfield. Especially recommended for journalists and educators.

This book is one of the best devotional books on prayer that I have ever read. It will get you thinking in the morning and you will not be able to forget it all day.
