Amazing book.......2007-05-20

This book is by far my favorite book on the subject. I would recommend it to anyone starting out in their teaching career. Don't be put off by the "dummies" title.

Really Great Intro Book to Teaching.......2007-04-25

I am in the stages of deciding whether teaching would be a good career change for myself. Michael Kelley's book has really helped me get a clear picture of what to expect in the world of teaching. It is very easy to read and fun too -- he has a wonderful sense of humor and has some great antidotes. I highly recommend this book. This one will be going in my "to keep" pile as I have highlighted quite a few passages worth remembering.

Best how-to book ever.......2007-03-20

This book is one of the best I have read on being a teacher. I am a new teacher, but have been in the classroom for 10 years. The author has a very good insight on what it is all about, from dealing with the kids, the never ending responsibilities of being in charge of a classroom and dealing with the adults involved. W. Michael Kelley has a fantastic sense of humor and gives so many inspiring examples of how to make teaching fun, not only for the teacher but for the students as well. I highly recommend this book to rookie teachers as well as veteran teachers who feel they need to revamp their teaching styles and methods.

Casual but Informative Reading.......2007-02-02

This book is very easy to read and written in an informal style, but manages to provide great tips and information to make teaching a lot easier. I haven't started teaching yet, but this book has served to warn me about some problems and experiences I may encounter. It doesn't go over what they teach you in education courses, like lesson planning and educational psychology, but it does tell you things like what to do if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of your class and gives management, organizational, and networking tips to help you avoid having to reinvent the wheel in some areas. Overall, a good read that I found hard to put down, because it was entertaining, helpful, and oh-so-true.

New High School Teacher.......2006-08-28

Let's cut to the chase. Kelley tackles all aspects of becoming or being a rookie teacher. I had a taste of the "big leagues" last school year as a long-term sub. What I didn't learn through this baptism by fire is certainly covered by Kelley with intelligence and wit. Heads up to you soon-to-be teachers or student teachers: Buy this book! Read this book! It's both practical and fun to read. Oh yeah...Kelley says we should forget all we learned in those Ed classes and worry about how we're going to keep our "butts" from jiggling when we erase the chalkboard.

Customer Reviews:

Poorly Done Book.......2005-09-30

This book is very shoddy and I'm sorry I bought it. The color plates (what few there are) are re-screened from another publication, they suffer from moire and look awful.

The book is tiny and the steps to produce the few projects are not always clear. Some of the crucial illustrations are no more than scribbles, I mean this literally--they don't even rise to the level of hurried sketches.

Nobody tried very hard producing this book and no self-respecting publishing house would have printed it. Waste of ten bucks.

Really Good Book with Great Ideas.......2005-07-28

I got some pretty good ideas from this book and am very glad we bought it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the hobby. There are other books out there that have maybe a little better presentation, but overall this is a really nice book.

Good book for beginners.......2003-11-22

I'm in my 30s now.....I wanted to re-learn how to make a plant hanger like I had done about 20 years ago in 7th grade....Try as I might I couldn't remember how to do it from memory so I went in search for a good book from the '70s that could remind me. This is a pretty cool book - its has the basic knots that I was looking for and has good instructions. It still seemed easier to do when I was 12 yrs old sitting there in art class but this book gave me a good start. It has a wide variety of things to make and many pictures to show/inspire. Don't think I'll be making that macrame purse with fringe but the plant hanger was good.

Good basic book.......2003-06-16

I have "Hempmasters" and this book. I primarily refer to this one for instructions on basic knots. I find the pictures very easy to follow and they are grouped together on 4 pages. I don't have to flip through the book looking for different knots.

Not Knots for beginners.......2000-05-22

This book has some examples of macrame jewelry with beads and small cord. The illustrations are poorly drawn. The directions are not clear. The book would be better for more experienced macrame enthusiasts or people who know the knots. It would work well for persons giving a class in macrame, but it is not for the beginner.

I tried the simple plant hanger, but the instructions about the "wrap" were vague. The illustrations were not clear. There were no reccomended distances between knots to get any particutlar result.

Book Description

German Idealism develops its philosophy of history as the theory of becoming absolute and as absolute knowledge. Historism also originates from Hegel's and Schelling's discovery of absolute historicity as it turns against Idealism's philosophy of history by emphasizing the singular and unique in the process of history. German Idealism and Historism can be considered as the central German contribution to the history of ideas. Since Idealism became most influential for modern philosophy and Historism for modern historiography, they are analyzed in this volume in a collaboration of philosophers and historians. German Idealism is presented in Schelling and its critics Schlegel, Baader, and Nietzsche; Historism in Ranke, Droysen, Burckhardt, and Treitschke. The volume further presents the impact of Idealism and Historism on present German approaches to the philosophy of history and outlines the debates on the possibility of a philosophy of history and on the methodology of the historical sciences.

Book Description

In this volume, continuities and discontinuities between Historical School of Economics and Old Institutional Economics are examined with regard to common research objectives and methods. Similarly, those between these two economic movements and New Institutional Economics as well as new economic sociology are discussed. The following questions functioned as a guideline for the contributing economists, sociologists, historians, and philosophers: Can we meaningfully speak of the Historical School of Economics (HSE) as an economic research program? What are the commonalities between the HSE and American old economic institutionalism? Does the HSE represent a part of the "lost anteroom" of New Institutional Economics and new economic sociology? How and why should the HSE matter to how we do economic and social theory today?

Give me more stars.......2007-07-31

Whatever the stars are available for rating - they are not enough for the book. Deep, thoughtful, unbiased and with good humor. After being 15 years in advertising I've never thought that an outsider can have such an accurate view of our real processes and thinking. Author takes all the pains in studying the context of the ads (just browse the references - I've spent the whole day just making notes on them). To sum up: in my opinion Schudson to advertising is what Jaques Le Goff is to the Medieval History. If you rely on the "everyone knows that" type of knowledge - you'll have a lot of surprises.
