Customer Reviews:
Surprisingly Compelling Resource.......2005-08-09
I picked up a copy of this at a friend's house and started flipping through it. I was surprised to find that it was written for high school students. I found the sidebars on history, math, science and particularly the stories about people from around the world to be extremely interesting. I loved that the book urges students to think critically about how they live on this planet. I know a few adults who would benefit from this excercise as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in, or confused by, global issues. It clearly explains what the critical issues are today, without being boring or judgemental.
Fantastic resource.......2005-08-09
I just read this book and highly recommend it - especially to teachers who want to give their students a comprehensive look at global issues. The best thing about the book is that it not only includes good information on global issues, it also includes many examples of people making a difference and developing solutions to problems around the world. The units are well written and accomplish the difficult task of making complex issues accessible, without watering down their significance. Numerous color photos are engaging and help bring the lessons to life.

Book Description
Extra! Extra! Middle-school reporters stand up to authority to expose a school scandal in this funny, inspiring story set behind the scenes at a student newspaper.
Late for math club, late for jazz band, late for soccer — Adam Canfield has to be the most overprogrammed middle-school student in America. So when super-organized Jennifer coaxes him to be coeditor of THE SLASH — Harris Elementary/Middle School's student newspaper — he wonders if he's made a big mistake. Not only do editors get stuck with assigning stories (like an investigative report on the edibility of cafeteria food), but they also have to deal with annoying third graders like Phoebe, always pushing for a front-page slot. But when Phoebe's article on Eddie the janitor leads to a much bigger scoop — an eccentric woman's mysterious gift to the school — Adam and Jennifer rise to the challenge, risking their principal's wrath to uncover some shocking secrets. Along with a charming cast of characters and plenty of kid-friendly humor, NEW YORK TIMES education columnist Michael Winerip sneaks in some lessons about truth and cover-ups, personal integrity, and the rush that comes from breaking a really great story.
Customer Reviews:
The best book ever.......2007-09-03
Absolutely,possitively the best book I have ever read in my entire life. Very descriptive and it has a good theme.My two favorite characters are probably Adam and Pheobe. I like them because-when put together in a paragraph-they are very funny.
Great story line, Makes you think, Bad language.......2007-07-23
OK so I know that my opinions tend to be backward in today's society, but I really didn't appreciate the fact that the author felt the need to put vulgarity in this book.
The story line was great, it made me think. It made me take consideration to how the educational system really runs. But I really don't want my children reading words that I don't want them saying. I know that there isn't much out there anymore that doesn't have foul language in it. But if more authors wouldn't spoil a great story with language there would be.
Entertained our 3 children for a long car ride--excellent.......2007-04-18
We had a long car trip planned so I picked up an audio tape of this book for the journey. Our 3 kids--13, 11, and 9--loved it. And my husband and I wouldn't let them listen unless we were there too. The kids laughed and got a sense of what it was to be a journalist. My husband and I (both involved in our local elementary/middle schools) loved the sub plot on testing in the modern era. Excellent for boys and girls and quite a range of ages.
Good plot.......2007-01-11
Adam Canfield of the Slash is the story of a very busy middle school student, Adam Canfield. Adam Canfield has a busy schedule every day of the week. One day he'll have baritone practice, swimming, and football. Another he'll have band, chorus, and soccer. Adam is always running around. To make things even worse he becomes the co-editor of the school newspaper, The Slash! Now, Adam is in charge of getting the newspaper ready for each month's issue. His brain is now full of things to do.
Adam lives in a small town. He is very busy going to practices before and after mandatory classes for state testing. Although he's a 4+ student he still has to study, which he hates doing. Adam tries to study in his spare time but he doesn't always have enough time. Adam's coeditor is a girl named Jennifer. She is the most organized person he has ever met. Jennifer is one of Adam's best friends.
Jennifer and Adam both find out lots of mysteries in collaboration. The first thing they do to change their little town is find out that all accessory structures (basketball hoops) are going to be torn down. When Adam finds this out he is outraged and puts an article in the newspaper about it. When all of the parents of the children read the story they are also outraged. People start petitions and protests about it. Eventually they decide to go to court. The court decision said that people could keep their hoops.
The next article was about an old lady who left money to the school and how the school was using it for "general improvements". Miss Minnie Bloch left thousands of dollars to the elementary/middle school. Miss Bloch only wanted a small plaque or scholarship in her name. For gratitude, Mrs. Harris, the school's principal, was thinking of other things. All she wanted to do was put an article in the paper about the gift. The rest of the money she would spend on a new bathroom with gold faucets and piping.
In the end, Jennifer and Adam are much closer. This is a great book for all ages. I loved it and think others will love it just as much. Try to read this book as soon as you can.
Hearty thumbs up from a teacher.......2006-03-26
I read this book in 24 hours. I usually don't have time to read novels, but I couldn't put this one down. The characters and situations were so familiar, I felt as though I were right there in the midst of it all. It's a hilarious, poignant story and a fire-tongued critique of the test-obsessed school system and much more. The characters have many subtleties, and the wisdom of the book goes far below the surface. I would recommend this for classroom reading!
Product Description
Among the various healthy housing books, The Healthy House Answer Book by John and Lynn Bower is something a little different. While the rest of the offerings in this field are thick, very comprehensive volumes, this is a smaller book in both size and depth--sort of a "pocket healthy housing guidebook." While covering the major concerns anyone would have about all aspects of construction and maintenance, all the information is presented in a very concise Q and A format. With subject chapters and a complete index, this is a great introductory book for anyone interested in the subject.
Customer Reviews:
Highly Informative Introduction. Extremely well done!.......2003-10-12
The Healthy House Answer Book is a tiny volume that packs a huge punch. Although small in stature, this book has much to offer on an extremely important subject. It reads well -- very well indeed! -- and offers simple, accurate explanations of many complicated topics.
In the Healthy House Answer Book, the authors -- healthy home experts, John and Lynn Bower -- tackle 133 commonly asked questions. Don't be fooled by this book's brevity, though. If you're new to the subject, this book should be a fantastic resource. I know, I read it early in my research on healthy homes for my books on natural homes and passive solar heating and cooling and felt that it brought me up to speed on the topic quite rapidly.
I especially liked the question-answer format and found it to be a delightful respite from the typical book style. The authors get right to the point. No wasted words!
Unless you're looking for an encyclopedic treatment of the subject, you should find this book to be a goldmine of valuable information. If you want a more encyclopedic treatment, the Bowers offer that option, too, in some of their other books.
The Future is Sustaianble Architecture.......2000-05-15
It is an extremely interesting volume... of iummense use... to Built-Design professionals as well as amateurs. But personally speaking, it is not the amateurs, but the professional built-design professionals, who have to be bull-dozed into accepting green architecture. Wish something more can be done about it. H K Verma Editor Interiors Today - India's only Magazine for Built Design professionals Bombay interior@bol.net.in

Book Description
Terra's mother is an astronaut with a promise to keep, and even though she is busy at the edges of the universe, she must rush back to earth in time for Terra's school play. Will she make it? This innovative picture book incorporates spectacular NASA photographs while exploring earthbound childhood concerns and dreams. And the order of the planets, the rhythms of the seasons, and the mysteries of astronomy are all introduced by the school play--a poetic production that classroom teachers will be inspired to duplicate. Readers have come to expect the moon from inventive picture-book artist Lynn Reiser--and here it is . . . in living color.
Customer Reviews:
Journey to the stars in this bedtime story!.......2000-05-25
Another winning story from Lynn Reiser who really has an ear for the simple stories of childhood. Here she combines the busy schedule of Mom, the astronaut with Terra's need for a photograph from space for the school play. As always the details count in Reiser's books and the text is well supported by her clever and droll illustrations. In this book she has used actual NASA photos from space to support her own illustrations and story. A wonderfully warm story of family life with whimsical touches.
