Who knew such a genius existed in the world of economics--one by the name of
Gary A. Moore. Purchase this book and you shall not be apologetic for it is a wealth of information and a glimpse of labor economics at its best! I am smarter for having studied this text.

This is a funny book written in a poetry like style.The amusing illustrations are inspired on old wood engravings.But it's not only the story an the illustrations that are interesting. The book itself, the way it was published and distributed is also verry interesting and even romantic.In 1928 'spicy' books weren't allowed, not even in Paris France. So it was privately published in a small edition of which about 50 copies were hand coloured by the author. All books were sold by Djuna Barnes and some frends in secret along the Seine.With the help of Natalie Barneys copie the 1972 edition contains an explanation of the names used in the story and who they were in real life.

What more can I say. Nothing else is adequate

David Jonassen has written prolifically throughout his career on the importance of meaning-making as a strategy for learning when using technologies. His belief is that students should learn using technology, not learn about technology. Often termed constructivism, the authors instantly address the newness of this concept of learning but proclaim it key to other disciplines over a much greater period of time. "The popular Chinese proverb about forgetting what you tell me and remembering what I do bears witness to the ageless belief that knowledge, meaning and understanding do not exist outside of meaningful, intentional activity."

Jonassen's last volume on this topic, "Learning With Technology, A Constructivist Perspective," has been updated here with ideas for using the latest technologies in teaching. Chapters in this latest manual include Internet research, web publishing, conferencing, building communities, video, hypermedia, microworlds and virtual reality. The learning strategies described cover active learning, problem-based learning, inquiry, discourse, learning by visualizing and by constructing reality. In each case, the authors describe the learning process, the activities, the teacher's role, and forms of assessment. While students are referred to as children throughout this book and pictured on the cover, conceptually this is a topic that teachers of all ages should consider. After all, is active learning only for the young?

In another step forward for technology and teaching, the publisher has provided a companion web site, a virtual learning environment, to support both the professor and the students in their use in the book. In addition to the syllbus, objectives, quizzes and resources usually found at companion sites, this on also includes chat and a message board.

This book is a must-read for anyone teaching educators, for classroom teachers and administrators seeking ways to use technologies to most effectively support learning. Technology is no longer a tool to learn about, but to use to achieve the goals of higher order thinking. Lecture is out, active learning is in. Here is a book to help you use technology to create learning experiences your students might not have been able to have before technologies came into the classroom.

This is an excellent in-depth look at the reasons for leaving the public school system in favor of home education or private/Christian schools. Many case studies as well as historical details and examples are given.

This shows the Bible passages relevant to the discussion.

If you are considering the pros/cons of education methods, you should not make a decision without reading this book.

I am glad I accidentally got the book. What a beautiful surprise!!! I have never been to France, but, thanks to this lovely book, I am going this April.

George Gordon, Lord Byron, gave the rights to his autobiography to his friend, Thomas Moore -- and Moore, thinking to protect his friend and benefactor's reputation, consigned the work to the fire. With it, went Byron's only chance to answer the accusations of his estranged wife, Annabelle Milbank -- who spent the rest of her life displaying the wounds she received in their one year of marriage.

In return for destroying Byron's autobiography, Moore was assured of cooperation from Annabelle and others in his preparation of a biography. Reader's of Doris Langely Moore's "The Late Lord Byron" will know how that prospered. Still, Moore's biography is a valuable start to understanding Byron. Although Moore's portion of the book is typical of the period, stilted and dull, the book itself is largely a collection of Byron's letters and journals, all delightful. Anybody who has met Byron through Childe Harold and any of the poetry written before Don Juan will get a new view of this wonderful writer and charming personality in his own words. Other biographies may offer more insight into Byron's psychology, but none can provide the same pleasure of his conversation. It contains many of his occasional pieces, short rhymes and amusements. The unaffected Byron is a delight, and his political views are remarkably fresh, even for our own time. Short of reading Marchand's collection of the letters, which is rather more expensive, this is the best way to get to know Byron as he was, and not as Belle wanted him to appear.

Lord Byron's parting gift to his friend, Tom Moore, was the publication rights to Byron's autobiography. Moore, however, yielded to pressures from Lady Byron, and burned the autobiography, thereby assuring, among other things, that Lady Byron would have the rest of her life to vilify her late husband without the risk of contradiction. (Do get a copy of Doris Langley Moore's The Late Lord Byron for the details of this story.) In return, Moore was given the rights to prepare an authorized biography, which would say nothing to harm his friend's reputation. The result would have been a long, tedius book, of interest only to scholars and insomniacs -- if it weren't for one thing: in addition to Moore's writing, there are large collections of Byron's letters and journals. Byron was to letters what Pepys was to diaries, and his prose is fresh, sprightly and gossipy. The letters reveal more of Byron than any of the poems, with the obvious exception of Don Juan. They can be read for fun as much as for literary or historical insight. For the modern reader, there are far better biographies of Byron, but for anybody who has become interested in the poet, this volume combines a passable biography with an excellent collection of Byron's own writing. For those wishing to do more detailed studies, the fact that this is the closest thing to an authorized biography makes the Moore volume an essential starting point.

This is really what this very fine and lively discussion of health and longevity is about. The deception of the public and the willingness of the public to be deceived are topics this book will inform you about. Not a book for people who want life and health to be simple and someone else's responsibility to take care of. Wonderful and very informative book about the realities of modern health care. Of value to anyone who wants to know the truth about health and longevity. It's no wonder this book has found only a small audience and is out of print.
