Review:I've read this as part of a group discussing white privilege. I am from the west coast, white, middle-class born, upper middle class as an adult. This book is not at all my experience. It sounds more like a book for people born into the rarified, very upper-class world of the East Coast WASP. So, if you want to learn about how that group was raised in the 60s and 70s, dive right in. I found it narrow-minded, judgmental and condescending with a sprinkling of passive aggression. Which in a way des... Read more

Review:This book is rated 4 only because I have not read it as yet. I fully expect it to be an excellent addition to the Dissertation Guidebook by Rudestam and Newton. Students who are going through the process of obtaining a doctoral degree need all the help they can get to fulfill the requirements with gusto and expertise. Read more

Review:This book was suggested by Shane Parrish at Farnam Street and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to read. The book was on the money and the insights were invaluable. This was my first encounter with DFW and his writing (or speeches) and I'm curious to explore his writing. This is water will be a regular read for me and a reminder of the choices we made every day in our lives. Read more

Review:I am using this book to homeschool my kindergartener. When we started she had no reading experience other than knowing what sound each letter makes. This book is amazing. It is such an easy and simple approach, yet it does the job wonderfully. The child learns to read without being bogged down with rules; only a few rules are mentioned. This book is great for kids who still have trouble with handwriting because it is almost entirely oral. I only gave 4 stars simply because I disagree with a fe... Read more

Review:Enthralled the entire time - not only is the innovation and science in spite of his (seemingly) limited opportunity fascinating, but the other stories- about his family, his culture, and his history- are funny, charming, and highly entertaining. Read more

Review:This is a book about getting more from the college experience.

Suggestions such as write for the school newspaper, volunteer, attend political rallies, advice on summer employment (he advocates getting a job in the field you are interested in working as career), etc.

There are some study tips covered as well.

The author has another book called, "How to Become a Straight A Student" that is very good at discussing ways to improve your grades and live a balanced life too. Read more

Review:The subject of history and its interpretation has become the topic of widespread debate due to its dual nature: Real people and events and their interpretation. The latter is the real controversy in history. Columbus is not admired (or hated) due to who he was or even what he did but over the consequences of his actions - discovery of a New World or destroyer of an old one. History has always been affected by politics and prejudice but ideology has become paramount lately. Perhaps the most i... Read more

Review:☀️ ? very inspiring and realistic and encouraging. ? ? ?. I especially appreciate the idea that we can re-start and re-boot and re-introduce the expectations and modeling, etc at any time. Read more

Review:An excellent guide for all new "flippers" out there. It begins with the why and ends with the how. It is short but concise so it doesn't require days of reading - which unfortunately most teachers don't have the luxury of during the school year. If you are truly interested in flipping your classroom, buy this book! Read more
