Classroom Instruction That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing St...
by Robert J. Marzano, Debra Pickering, Jane E. Pollock
Amazon Price: $17.96
Customer Review: Imagine that, another educator taking age old ideas-for the most part-renaming the components & making a nice deposit in his bank account. Go back and dust off titles by Hunter, Bloom, & the like & you'll do yourself a favor. Or if you're really ambitious go to school, get your doctorate in Ed & package old ideas as new like Marzzano has done.

Customer Review: I did not find any use for my college statistics when I started working (at least for my function), but just recently, I had to relearn, what I've forgotten to keep pace with the demands of my job. This book is heavenly! Whether you're someone looking for a refresher course without having to pay huge sums to pick-up on stuff you know you've already learned or someone who wants the basics of statistics, this is the book for you.

Customer Review: I had to take a research class for my Masters degree. I appreciate this book because it follows one person through their research process. It breaks it down and makes it understandable. It is great for a person that has never had to do formal research.

Customer Review: Great, quick read that opens teachers' eyes up to the struggles that some students face. Excellent ideas to implement into the classroom.

Customer Review: I consider this book pricey for what it is, but I needed it for a class. I found it to be very informative, and yet an easy read.

Customer Review: ...which which is good for mathematicians and students. To be honest, I purchased this book to gain some insight and practical examples on probability for trading purposes. While this book offers a lot of information about the subject, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It'll probably be more useful to someone who'd develop their own automated system, but not very much for scalpers or swing traders.

Customer Review: The book provides some statistics as applied to testing but nothing much new, and I doubt the average college teacher would have an easy time understanding it. There is a hundred years of research on essay testing beginning with Prof. Edgeworth in 1888, and none of it is mention in the book. The research shows over and over that if two people grade an essay test they don't agree with each other, and the same person doesn't agree with himself two weeks later.The author just doesn't want to face this.
by John R. Lott Jr.
Amazon Price: $18.45
Customer Review: Do you think economics is boring? Do you struggle to understand economic principles? If you answered yes to either question, then check out Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. These two economists apply their knowledge to such a wide variety of subjects that it is hard to keep up.
For example, did you ever wonder why drug dealers live with their moms or what schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Levitt and Dubner address these and other equally unusual topics. By applying well-known, basic economic principles to unique circumstances, the authors help readers better appreciate the complex world of money matters. You'll have so much fun reading this book that you won't even realize you're learning something about economics.
Considering the success of Freakonomics (it reached the number two spot on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list), it is not surprising that Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't by John R. Lott, Jr. was published a short time later. Freedomnomics, as the front cover tells us, is a rebuttal to Freakonomics and more. Although not as popular or as well written, Freedomnomics scored points with me because I am a firm believer in capitalism and the free market society. I also found some of Lott's economic research to be intriguing. For instance, in the chapter on women's suffrage and the growth of government, Lott tracks changes in government spending both before and after women finally obtained the right to vote.
Freedomnomics does not rehash all of Levitt and Dubner's material, but it does attempt a point-counterpoint on several topics, including abortion and crime in the United States. Read both books and make your own decision about who is right and who is wrong.
