Book Description

By leading with practical data analysis and graphics, Stats: Modeling the World gets students “doing statistics” and “thinking statistically” from the start. Students understand what we find in data, why we find it interesting, and how we report it to others as a sound foundation for the challenges of inference. Instructors praise Stats Modeling the World as clear and accessible to students, and students report that they enjoy reading the text while learning how to do Statistics with the Think, Show,and Tell rubric and What Can Go Wrong? sections.

specially tailored for the AP.......2007-07-10

If you are teaching AP Statistics to a competent high school group, this book was written for you. Literally. It was written with the AP exam in mind. The second edition has even been changed largely with a view to reflecting the recent minor changes in that exam.

So the authors' terminology, their practice exercises, their equations, and -- most importantly -- the range and depth they marshal correspond exactly to the level students must master to score well on the AP Statistics exam.

Further, it has been very slickly brought off and is readable and entertaining. At least as much as possible, given that some tedium lies ahead for students who wish to land a 4 or 5 on said exam.

It goes without saying that neither the explanations nor the example exercises summon the specters of integration or differentiation, but some of the end-of-chapter exercises can be easily ratcheted up to this level by an imaginative instructor.

Some of the sidebar readings in some of the chapters, however, do anticipate mathematical statistics. But it's up to you how deeply you want to spell out the mathematical implications of these readings.

Since this book contains many questions that aren't answered except in materials available only to instructors, I wouldn't recommend it for self-study. It would probably prove too frustrating.

On that head, there are plenty and plenty of resources available for the instructor that chooses this book, such as the AP* Test Prep Workbook for Stats: Modeling the World, 2nd Edition and the highly useful Graphing Calculator Manual: Intro Stats: For the TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus, and TI-89.

Lovely thread crochet.......2007-07-12

This is a lovely book of old fashioned thread crochet projects for the home.

My only handicap working from this book is the fact I learned to crochet some 30 years ago using the British Terminology of crocheting. Other than that, it has a very good selection and variety of projects to choose from - multiple shapes of mats (doilies), and even bedspreads.

I recommend this anyone who loves thread crochet.

Wonderful flower designs from the past!.......2000-07-17

Floral Crochet is a Dover Publications reprint of floral thread designs from the 1940's and 1950's. The introductions states that this book is a compilation of some of the best floral patterns from this period. All of the designs are thread. Designs include bedspreads, table cloths, doilies, edgings, vanity sets, placemats, and pillows. I would not recommend the book to someone new to crocheting with thread. It's a shame this book does not have color photographs it would be a feast for the eyes! The vanity sets were particularly interesting as I have not seen many patterns for them. There is also instructions for a doily done in a technique called Crocheted Tatting which is very unusual. There are some designs using a crocheted cutwork technique and several doilies with fabric centers. This is a wonderful book to make some special treasures for your home.

Old Fashioned Doilies.......2000-04-21

This is a nice collection of those old fashioned doilies which featured flowers. There are some filet pieces, some motifs, and some which merely feature flower designs - one color or in several colors.

Great Book(s!) of vintage doily patterns.......2001-09-18

This is not a single book entitled "101 Crocheted Doilies". This is three seperate books packaged together. They are "Floral Doilies for Crocheting" edited by Rita Weiss, "Crocheting Ruffled Doilies" edited by Linda Macho, and "Crocheting Doilies" edited by Rita Weiss. I was disappointed that the description did not say that these were seperate books. I already own all three and now I have duplicates! I was under the impression that the title "101 Crocheted Doilies" was another book in the "101" series by Rita Weiss. Still, all in all, these are great vintage crochet patterns in new formats and are together for one great price.

Long a familiar face to American television-news viewers, and more recently a familiar voice to public-radio listeners, Daniel Schorr recounts his 60-plus-year career covering some of the most significant events of the last century.

Schorr knew that he wanted to be a journalist from a very young age, though his mother worried about her son entering a profession that required no advanced degree. ("Isn't it a little like being an actor?" she asked, presciently, given the shape of modern broadcast news.) Schorr's narrative begins before the Second World War, when, the son of Russian immigrants, he combed the streets of New York looking for news stories and eventually talking his way onto the staffs of newspapers and wire services. He had a gift for being in the right place at the right time, breaking news in the summer of 1941 that pointed to an impending war with Japan and reporting on the hostilities that followed the creation of the state of Israel, among many other events. That gift served him well as he rose through the ranks of foreign correspondents, eventually joining CBS and heading the network's bureaus in Bonn and Moscow, where he came to spend more time talking with Nikita Khrushchev than he would spend with the American presidents he was later charged with covering. Schorr had another gift: a particularly fine ability to irritate those who came under his scrutiny, from John Wayne to John Kennedy, from the KGB to the FBI. "It may be that I am just hard to get along with, but to me it always seemed that some principle was involved."

Irascibility and high principle alike mark this memoir. Readers who grew up listening to Schorr's reports on such matters as Watergate and the Berlin Wall, as well as students of journalism and history, will find it illuminating. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description

He has covered and analyzed nearly every major event of our time: the founding of NATO, the building of the Berlin Wall, the 1950s McCarthy hearings, and the 1990s Clinton impeachment hearings. As both a national and international eyewitness, Daniel Schorr has spent six decades fully engaged in world-watching.

After opening the CBS bureau in Moscow in 1955 and arranging an unprecedented television interview with Soviet boss Nikita Khrushchev, Daniel Schorr went on to a career often revered and sometimes reviled. His no-holds-barred approach to reporting won him three Emmys for his coverage of Watergate, and landed him on Nixon's "enemies list." In the 1970s, his refusal to name sources regarding CIA and FBI misdeeds led to his being threatened with jail for contempt by the House Ethics Committee. Always probing, Daniel Schorr continues in his quest for the truth as the senior news analyst for National Public Radio®.

This amazing autobiography not only details the life and times of the octogenarian newsman -- the last of the legendary Edward R. Murrow news team still active in journalism -- but also poses some important questions about the future of media.

Fascinating Look at An Incredible Journalist's Career.......2002-04-06

I have to admit to a certain fascination with news personalities. After all, as a confirmed news junkie, I have faithfully watched all the major netweorks and tune into NPR on my way home from work daily. Therefore, I was pleased to discover this literary gem by long-time TV and radio commentator Daniel Schorr, the seemingly omni-present conscience of the electronic media. Like many of his generation, his is a voice of reason and objectivity in a sea of faces otherwise clamouring for fame and notoriety.

Yet, while I genuinely like the book and heartily recommend it, I must also admit to feeling a bit disappointed by what he has to say, for he seems determined throughout the book to confine his comments more to the stories at hand than I would have liked, and although he discusses personalities and the way some of his stories were affected by them, the insider's look is compromised to some extent by the very virtues he brings to the subject in the first place. Perhaps after fifty years in the business he simply cannot bring himself down to the level of a confessional tone in this self-described tour of a life within journalism.

Schorr has been everywhere and seen everything, from the infamous McCarthy Hearing in the early fifties to the erection of the Berlin Wall in the early sixties; from the events surrounding the Kennedy assassination to the tumult in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic convention; from the coverage of Watergate to the break-up of the Soviet Union. Throughout all this he has rubbed shoulders with all of the titans of media news, from Edward R. Murrow to Dan Rather, from Douglas Kiker to Sam Donaldson, and from Ted Turner to Walter Cronkite.

He has also been a witness to much of the history of the 20th century, having rubbed shoulders with everyone from Nikita Krushchev to President Eisenhower, from Charles DeGaulle to Marshall Tito, from Lyndon Johnson to John F. Kennedy, from George Bush to Bill Clinton. This is a wonderful book, and one I am sure you will enjoy as much as I did. It serves to remind us that a man of purpose, principle, and conscience can still act in accord with his ethics and values and succeed in the world of electronic journalism. Enjoy!

A Life in Journalism.......2001-12-29

I was most impressed by "Staying Tuned". This book is Daniel Schorr's auto-biography of his many decades in journalism. Few people have had the opportunity to be the eyewitness to history that Schorr has had. Schorr was present to cover Nikita Khruschev and the De-Stalinization movement in Russia. He was present to cover post-nazi Germany under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. He was able to cover aspects of the "Great Society" under Lyndon Johnson. Also, he was there during Watergate and was sufficiently critical of the Nixon Administration to make the White House "enemies list".

Schorr's ability to communicate directly with the personalities such as Khruschev, former Yugoslavian President Tito, and Chancellor Adenauer of West Germany was most impressive. Clearly these were the days before journalism became swollen with hordes of "news hungry" reporters. I doubt any correspondent today could get as much access to similar political and public figures.

While dealing with earth-shaking events and personalities, the book also touches on Schorr's day-to-day existence. Difficulties such as avoiding taxes in the Soviet Union, obtaining a refrigerator, and functioning in a communist country are interesting, as well as amusing. One also is touched by the descriptions of the people in foreign countries who worked for him.

Schorr viewed Johnson's "Great Society" programs as failing because the administration gave up on them, and reduced funding due to the demands of the Vietnam War. He rejects the conservative ideology that the programs failed because they were inherently flawed in some fashion. Its refreshing to hear another viewpoint besides the one that seems to be parroted constantly.

Its clear that Daniel Schorr is a person who by practicing his occupation as a journalist in a courageous and intelligent fashion, contributed much to American Democracy. The American people cannot make informed and sound decisions without good information from journalists. The First Amendment guarantee of "freedom of the press" would mean little without tough-minded journalists pursuing stories of national importance. God bless Daniel Schorr as he reaches his golden years of life. One only hopes there are other courageous men and women who will take his place.

Americ's finest broadcast journalist.......2001-07-09

Before reading this book I already believed that Daniel Schorr was America's finest broadcast journalist. But my admiration has only increased. This book accomplishes what I had only hoped the memoirs of other famous broadcast journalists (e.g. Ted Koppel, Walter Cronkite, and David Brinkley) would.

Like those other journalists, Schorr has been very close to a remarkable number of the defining events of the last half century. But his writing seems harder-hitting, as much historical as journalistic, and he seems to be two levels deeper in understanding and perspective than they were in their books. I felt in the middle of the events with Schorr, not watching them at 30,000 feet. Perhaps it is the difference between the perspective of the man at the scene, compared to that of the anchorman. Schorr's immense knowledge of Nikita Khrushchev and (separately) of Richard Nixon are absolutely outstanding.

The book demands a lot from the reader. Not everything is told sequentially, and not all the background material is explained. Schorr seems to expect you to remember many of the events and issues yourself; his job is to add depth, perspective, and detail. Younger readers who don't remember the 50's, 60's, or 70's, will be challenged by the book. Those who do remember those decades, will be immensely impressed, educated, and enriched

The Real Danger To Freedom Is A Wayward & Ductile Media!.......2001-05-31

Daniel Schorr's book about his life makes you crave for more people like him in journalism. It is refreshing to see another person of the news media community write about the decaying values of broadcasting.

I found it interesting that Daniel Schorr actually read his own name on Nixon's enemy list over the air upon seeing it for the first time. Yet, Schorr kept his professional composure by avoiding making himself the story, while being personally shaken, shocked and dismayed over it. This is what a true professional does when reporting to the public. The story is important not himself and Schorr did just that on that day. Today we have few Daniel Schorr's in news television.

At the same time, the press and media over the Clinton Impeachment crisis actually damaged themselves and our Republic far more than any kind of attack on first amendment rights. What was right in reporting on Nixon should never be ignored on Clinton. The public to this day no longer trust mainstream broadcasting due to this spinning cover up.

The mass media had far too many accomplices not reporting the truth in order to support a president who intentionally lied on TV and under oath to the American people. A Clinton's enemy list of actions and false spin without media challenge is far more sinister than a Nixon public exposed enemies lists. We can expose the known listings of people but it is the hidden agenda that is far more dangerous to our freedoms.

Additionally, the author confirms that TV Journalists are not particularly qualified as far as educational credentials to report the news. In the book he confirms that today's TV News Readers are hired based on their looks and delivery. We know this to be true by CNN recently hiring of a "B Movie Actress" who once posed nude to further her acting career. Does CNN really expects us to believe there are not many well qualified women with educational degrees and much more journalistic experience exists?

It gave me the reason why the O'Reilly Factor is so popular because O'Reilly did go back and acquired an Masters Degree at Harvard in order to discuss the issues for the better public edification. As opposed to the lack of real educational credentials of the three big networks News Readers. O'Reilly's rating are through the roof while Brohaw, Jennings and Rather are in steep decline. Schorr adds that today's "News Readers" are part of entertainment not real news.

What I found refreshing in the book is Schorr's candor, character and vision. He is telling us where he has been and what he felt as he reported events. He is conveying news entertainment can never preserve the public trust. In the future will the mass media be smart enough to tell us the truth or stupid enough to just accept the spin? We already know this answer based upon who is in broadcasting today. Schorr was an example of a fine past and hopefully O'Reilly is the future.

This is quite remarkable but then again Daniel Schorr is quite a remarkable man and dying breed of upright newsmen disappearing from the media. This genuine view of the life of a true professional who did the media proud over the years is worth your time to read it.

Incredible.......2001-05-18

What could be worse than trying to find words adequate to describe the memoir of one of the finest journalists this country (and perhaps Europe as well) has known? Anyone who laments the ratings competition... among the various news media today will find this book inspiring and refreshing, and perhaps shed a layer or two of their cynicism in the process. Schorr's career routinely landed him in the midst of incredibly historical circumstances, sometimes without his realizing the enduring importance of the situation. This book is a rare historical journey for anyone interested in current events. For this 48 year old reader, it was better than any history course I've ever taken. We would have more hope for a fair, accurate and trusted media if every journalist - and would be journalist - read this book. Thank you Mr. Schorr!

The Best Story Ever Written.......2005-10-22

First of all i would like to give my sympathy to my cousin andre and the family because it was the most hard thing to hear about my little cousin's and it is still hard to think about the tragedy and how it happened andre you keep your head up and stay strong because they are watching you from heaven i would like to thank you too because now the whole world can see how dangerous gangs really is and how they don't have a specific person who they are going to target and how it affects the whole family so thank you very much and let god keep you strong and lead you through your journey in life.

Code of Silence.......2004-04-22

I thought this book was excellent. It gives alot of details on the violent life that gang members live. It also tells a tender story of family love, forgiveness and perserverence to go on. This is an excellent book for anyone working with youth to read.

Code of Silence.......2002-04-23

I got a chance to see Andre on Sally. After hearing his story my heart went out to him but I was angry with his mother. I changed my mind when I read the book and heard the whole story. Congratulations to your Mom on her recovery. I'm glad you two stuck together.It really makes us stop and think about the decisions we make in life. Someone else is always affected by them. It is hard to belive that children can be so heartless. Andre you need to take your story to every city, school and jail in the country. I hope you recieve the funding to do it. This is a project many as well as myself would have no problem helping to support.
I am sorry for your tragedy but please do not blame yourself. I pray that the peace of God will rest upon you and your family. And I pray that you live a joyful and fulfilled life until time to meet your loved ones again in a better place. Thank you for sharing your story and I'm sorry for your pain.

Couldn't put it down!.......2001-03-19

This book is so great. I just couldn't put it down. I took it to work with me and read it every chance I got. Those poor kids, it was so heartbreaking but yet it was a in your face drama that was so moving.
