Yes there are still new people coming into the field. This book contains much information on various topics such as behavioral objectives, running labs, activities, bulletin boards, and much much more. I was lucky enough to find one in a used book store. It is currently out of print but it wouldn't hurt to keep requesting a check on the book. You never know, the author may just decide to put out a new edition if there are enough requests. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/n5ejb1" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/n5ejb1" rel="nofollow">Creative Home Economics Instruction</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/n5ejb1" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/n5ejb1" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about Creative Home Economics Instruction</strong></a></p>Shelley M.

Review<span style="float:left; padding-right:5px; padding-bottom:5px; padding-top:5px;"><a href="http://amzn.to/qGkE9w" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Z3gLK09+L._AA160_.jpg" alt="Fit and Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness" border="0"></a><br /><strong>Average Reviews:</strong><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/4845068202_952b887062_m.jpg" border="0" ><br />(<a href="http://amzn.to/qGkE9w" rel="nofollow">More customer reviews</a>)</span>This is a solid book for teaching you the basics of leading a healthy life. For people not well educated on basic wellness ideas, this can be a godsend: it will guide you through many topics that are considered common knowledge but, unfortunately, probably aren't as well-known and properly understood as they should be.<br />Topics covered here include:<br />- basic methods to studying and eliminating unhealthy habits<br />- stress sources and management<br />- strength exercises, including photos and descriptions of many common ones: good for an exercise novice who'd like to avoid the embarrassment of looking totally confused at the gym (though there's no substitute to a trainer who knows what he's doing)<br />- healthy eating habits, and detailed analysis of carbs, fats, and other things food is made up of<br />- coverage of diseases, including STDs and other chronic illnesses<br />This book is great for independent study, which was the method I used it. Augmenting it with help from a teacher could highlight other areas the book doesn't go quite as in-depth into; in my class's studies, many web sites had to be visited, which added some good knowledge outside the book's scope. Also, each chapter seems to be a little long; splitting some chapters up into shorter sections would have made me feel like I was moving through the book quicker. <br />However, this is a quality-written book from McGraw Hill. It could be good for anyone, young or old, who doesn't know much but wants to learn how to live a healthy life. If you're looking to get into shape for the summer, but have never paid attention to your health habits before, this book can actually be quite a good starting point: it can help point out how certain foods will affect your body, and give you a quick overview of many common, effective, good exercises. Very recommended for either class or independent study.<br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/qGkE9w" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/qGkE9w" rel="nofollow">Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in Physical Fitness and Wellness</a><br /><br />Fahey's Fit and Well is the best-selling Fitness/Wellness textbook series in the higher education market, know for its accuracy, labs, and rigor.

Agreed. My experience shows that I understand pronouns better after teaching them year after year to my students.<br />This new handy book in a lightweight, portable size is not directed at a particular level, but rather is written for various levels. Beginners can get a grasp of the basics, intermediate-level students are able to gain a fuller understanding of the use of pronouns, and advanced students and educators can use it for reference. It can also help the teacher or professor who understands the use of pronouns, but needs help articulating the rules for students. Because of the lengthy descriptions of each type of pronoun (a chapter devoted to each type or function), it helps the more right-brained reader who prefers written descriptions and explanations. On the other hand, even the left-brained reader who enjoys the typical textbook chart, with its formula-driven efficiency, can benefit from the detailed explanations by checking their comprehension. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/nZjHaf" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/nZjHaf" rel="nofollow">Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns Up Close</a><br /><br /><br />Get up close and master Spanish pronouns<br /><br />As you study Spanish you may view pronouns as obstacles to your full understanding of the language. Learning pronouns can be one of the most frustrating aspects of studying Spanish grammar, but it is also one of the most important for being understood and following what others say. By adding Spanish pronouns to your range of language skills, you will open up a whole new world of communication.<br /><br />With plenty of opportunities for practice, practice, practice, Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns Up Close helps you better understand the nuances of this tricky grammar element and develop your skills and confidence as a Spanish speaker with:<br /><br />Easy-to-absorb explanatory materials, examples, and exercises<br />Authoritative guidance on the different pronoun forms and when to use them<br />A comprehensive answer key that not only gives you the correct solutions to the exercises but explains the why behind them<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/nZjHaf" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a><span style="font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:3px;color:#990000;">Get 28% OFF</span></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/nZjHaf" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns Up Close</strong></a></p>Shelley M.

I am in a physics for non-majors course in college and I found the material in the book to be not in-depth enough. To be honest I found it relatively useless to consult when I had a tough question and needed some help. There are better books out there. I just ordered 3 books that were recommended to me: "The Physics Problem Solver" by James Ogden, "How To Solve Physics Problems and Make The Grade" by Robert M. Oman and Daniel M. Oman and "3,000 Solved Problems in Physics" by Alvin Halpern.<br />Don't bother with this book if you feel lost in physics because it won't really help you.<br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/pgcIeZ" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/pgcIeZ" rel="nofollow">Schaum's Outline of College Physics, 11th Edition (Schaum's Outline Series)</a><br /><br /><br />More than 500,000 students have purchased previous editions of this book! That's because this powerful study tool offers clear explanations and constant reinforcements, so that students quickly grasp this potentially difficult subject matter. It takes students from vectors to thermodynamics to applied nuclear physics, teaching effective problem-solving skills. The numerous, valuable appendixes make often-needed, basic information easy to find quickly, so this book is also an excellent reference.<br /><br />The new edition of this best-selling book gives users a solid grasp of the principles of general physics through their application to a large number of carefully selected problems. The Ninth Edition features a new order of presentation that reflects the current physics curriculum and textbooks. Existing problems have been updated, and new problems have been added that deal with more realistic and practical situations, including those in the life sciences.<br />--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/pgcIeZ" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a><span style="font-size:1.1em;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:3px;color:#990000;">Get 32% OFF</span></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/pgcIeZ" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about Schaum's Outline of College Physics, 11th Edition (Schaum's Outline Series)</strong></a></p>Shelley M.

Each skill is examined with specific laboratory exercises that demonstrate how it works and how to best use it. Figures are clear and save the teaching staff a lot of time because the figures focus in on the hard parts of the system. The student reviews, chapter summaries, assignments, and expanded explanations of more complex topics make this the text we use with our community college students. The teacher's pack provides us with power point slides, handouts, question bank, tests and added materials.<br />For our more advanced, faster paced classes, we use this book's big brother, UNIX Made Easy 3rd Ed. Both have been very carefully developed and students use them with few errors or problems. This book does not have the shell programming that is in UNIX Made Easy. Instead, Introduction to UNIX and Linux has Red Hat Linux CD's, a chapter on installation and chapters on administration of a system, plus additional GUI information and exercises.<br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/n2kSMt" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/n2kSMt" rel="nofollow">Introduction to Unix and Linux</a><br /><br />Ideal for students with little or no computer experience, this essential learning tool is filled with fundamental skill-building exercises, hands-on tutorials, and clear explanations.And, it's written by a leading UNIX and Linux curriculum developer and instructor, making it perfect for both learning -- and teaching -- the basics.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/n2kSMt" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/n2kSMt" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about Introduction to Unix and Linux</strong></a></p>Shelley M.

I couldn't find a single difference between the two books except for the cover and the binding (paperback vs. hardcover). Looking at the detailed table of context, everything appears to match exactly (even page numbers), and every discussion question (at the end of each chapter) that I looked at was exactly the same.<br />In other words, buy this version and you get the same exact textbook in paperback form and save lots of $$$.<br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/reoyeX" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/reoyeX" rel="nofollow">Public Finance</a><br /><br />"Public Finance 9/e" benefits from the combined efforts of Harvey Rosen's market-leading book and co-author Ted Gayer's research and government agency experience. This combination of experience is able to explain as clearly as possible how the tools of economics can be used to analyze government expenditure and tax policies. This new edition incorporates recent developments and along the way takes students to the frontiers of current research and policy. While the information presented is cutting edge and reflects the work of economists currently active in the field, the approach makes the text accessible to undergraduates whose only prior exposure to economics is at the introductory level. All of the changes in the ninth edition were made to further the authors' goal of providing students with a clear and coherent view of the role of government spending and taxation. The authors' years of policy experience have convinced themselves that modern public finance provides a practical and invaluable framework for thinking about policy issues. The goal is simple: to emphasize the links between sound economics and the analysis of real-world policy problems.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/reoyeX" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/reoyeX" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about Public Finance</strong></a></p>Shelley M.

It's clearly written and does cover the new elements of the Java 6 platform. The author seems obsessed with AWT and applets in spite of neither having been used much this century. The book gives short shrift to swing. The book has nothing about java.sql and database connectivity. It touches briefly on servlets and ignores jsps. <br />If you're interested in an introduction to the nuts and bolts of the language the book is OK, if not inspired. Don't expect it to serve as a reference; it's short on detail. I would have liked to have seen a stronger emphasis on OO design. Most of the code examples are written in a procedural style that wouldn't have been out of place in 1985. A positive for the code examples is that every one I've tried compiles and seems to run properly. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://amzn.to/q06VkN" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> to see more reviews about: <a href="http://amzn.to/q06VkN" rel="nofollow">Java The Complete Reference, Seventh Edition (Osborne Complete Reference Series)</a><br /><br />The world's leading programming author offers comprehensive coverage of the new Java release<br />The definitive guide to Java has been fully expanded to cover every aspect of Java SE 6, the latest version of the worldAnd#39;s most popular Web programming language.

It is about not taking things personally and not being at the affect of the customer. When I give great customer service--I am the one who gets to feel good at the end of the day. The fact that the customer goes away feeling satisfied is just an added bonus. I've noticed that a lot of people in customer service positions act like they don't want to be there--like they are victims or something. Super Service reminds me that great service begins and ends with me.

The M Series started with your students. McGraw-Hill conducted extensive market research to gain insight into students' studying and buying behavior. Students told us they wanted more portable texts with innovative visual appeal and content that is designed according to the way they learn. We also surveyed instructors, and they told us they wanted a way to engage their students without compromising on high quality content.<br />U*S: A Narrative History tells the story of us, the American people, with all the visually engaging, personally involving material that your students demand.From a trusted author team, this innovative text provides instructors who normally choose either a big or brief book with scholarly, succinct, and conventionally organized core content; a highly readable and unified narrative that is continental in scope; and a magazine format that engages students and helps them connect with the nation's past. <br />More current, more portable, more captivating, plus a rigorous and innovative research foundation adds up to: more learning.

For example, it discusses the pros and cons of subscription vs. newsstand sales, marketing, pricing, and even staff salaries. Business plans are outlined and commented on by various sources. Relatively recent magazines to "mainstream/suburban" American culture like VIBE are discussed with the respect they truly deserve.

Designed with an eye for both the uniqueness and the universality of outstanding literature, this text offers a unified, multicultural approach to the meaning, form, technique, and values in fiction, poetry, and drama. Organized by genre, the anthology contains three sections - fiction, poetry, and drama - each with a prefatory essay. Within each section are self-contained chapters arranged around literary selections that reveal the application of specific techniques. The extensive anthologies that follow are arranged alphabetically and provide a rich selection of both classic and contemporary authors as well as a broad range of women, ethnic, and international authors to advocate both a truly American and a pluralistic collection of literature.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/p2prj0" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/p2prj0" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about The McGraw-Hill Introduction To Literature</strong></a></p>Shelley M.

To find out more about today's students, what they need, and how they behave, McGraw-Hill hired anthropologists to conduct an ethnographic research study on STUDENTS.We sent these scientists in to study where students live, work, play, study, and learn.Through several surveys and even ethnographic research, students have given us a better idea of the type of textbook they want to be using. When you view this slide, the types of characteristics students are looking for in a textbook probably won't surprise you. What you might be surprised by is that we actually went out and studied students to help generate ideas about the products we should be creating. –light and easy to carry–engaging and relevant to their own lives–inexpensive–supported by digital activities that help them learn and succeed in their courseTo bring Insel's Core Concepts of Health into the 21st century, we knew that we had to addresses today's changing student while at the same time remaining true to the theme of personal responsibility. In fact, we are determined to make Core Concepts in Health learning system more personal in a way that it can address the ways in which they want to learn. We also wanted to develop a system that is easier for you, the instructor, to use; a system that enables you to teach personal health in a more effective and efficient way. So this is what we have done:We've created Connect for Personal Health, which is now seamlessly and deeply integrated with Blackboard and Blackboard related course management systems.Connect is an interactive online learning system that provides interactive multimedia-driven activities and assessments, such as interactive quizzes, video activities, health assessments, internet research activities, online behavior change workbook, a fitness and nutrition log, and a multimedia ebook. Most activities and assessments are auto graded, entered into the grade book, and automatically uploaded to blackboard.This saves saves you time, holds your students accountable, and allows for seamless Course Management integration.Only one sign-on is needed for access to Blackboard and Connect, the grade book is integrated, and much much more.We've created LearnSmart for Personal Health, which is an adaptive learning system that assesses students' mastery of the core concepts and creates a individualized study plan for each student, which should result in higher student confidence, better test scores, and a different classroom experience in which students are prepared to discuss, brainstorm, and build skills. At the instructor, the time you spend preparing for and giving lectures is significantly reduced, if not eliminated, and you'll have the time to engage with your students rather than spoon feed them content that they will quickly forget.To address today's students' need for less expensive, more portable, and more relevant classroom tools, we are considering significantly lowering the price of Core Concepts in Health by providing the book in a three-hole punched, loose-leaf version. At nearly half the cost of a new book and approximately the same cost that a rented or used book, this option allows for complete portability. •By using a loose leaf version of the book, students only need to carry the portion of the book that's being covered in class with them.This loose leaf version addresses students' need for portability.Today's students are busy!The loose leaf version is light and easy to carry to class, to work, on the bus, or wherever else they plan to study and learn.•Students not only get a print version of the book, for the same price they also receive an integrated multimedia ebook that includes videos and links to other resources.•Students also receive, for the same price, an access code to Connect and LearnSmart, which provide a number of interactive multimedia tools that will help them learn.•And if that's not enough, Connect Core Concepts in Health is now seamlessly and deeply integrated with Blackboard and Blackboard related course management systems. Only one sign-on is needed, the grade book is integrated, and much much more.•Would you still like your students to have a bound book?You can find one within our CREATE system.While you're at it, we can pull out the chapters of the book you don't assign.This ensures students are purchasing only the content that is being assigned to them, making the book 100% relevant to your course, more affordable, and still lightweight and portable.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://amzn.to/r1KaV1" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4719472627_e8bd8168dc_m.jpg" alt="Buy Now" border="0"></a></p><p><a href="http://amzn.to/r1KaV1" rel="nofollow"><strong>Click here for more information about Connect Core Concepts in Health, 12e Brief Loose Leaf Version</strong></a></p>Shelley M.
