And some you didn't. I am on the waiting list for a puli, so I figured I would read a couple of books on them. This is a great comprehensive resource on puli, including breed history, training, coat care and all the basics you will need to know to handle this wonderful breed.

Book Description

Although the religions of the Caribbean have been a subject of popular media, there have been few ethnographic publications. This text is a much-needed and long overdue addition to Caribbean studies and the exploration of ideas, beliefs, and religious practices of Caribbean folk in diaspora and at home. Drawing upon ethnographic and historical research in a variety of contexts and settings, the contributors to this volume explore the relationship between religious and social life. Whether practiced at home or abroad, the contributors contend that the religions of Caribbean folk are dynamic and creative endeavors that have mediated the ongoing and open-ended relation between local and global, historical and contemporary change.

Book Description

It's no stretch to claim that catapults are fun. Launch your students into a hands-on application of concepts such as torsion and elasticity as they learn the physics behind overcoming gravity and hurling objects through the air - SAFELY. Your students will get the additional benefit of a historical perspective (catapults were once a basic tool of war) as they consider design improvements in the process of projectile launching. By relating the effects of different force settings to distance projections, you can also introduce your students to the analysis of frequency distributions.

This will provide next to no help in your own construction of a catapult, this book simply contains resources for teachers to teach students about building catapults. This is strictly a teacher's resource and is useless to anyone but them.

Book Description

For Kylene Beers, the question of what to do when kids can't read surfaced abruptly in 1979 when she began teaching. That year, she discovered that some of the students in her seventh-grade language arts classes could pronounce all the words, but couldn't make any sense of the text.

I love this book, I attended a workshop with Kylene and her ideas were wonderful, my original burnt in a fire so i had to replace it! I think it would be a great addition to any classroom.

Cure for Every English Teachers' Achilles Heel -- Teaching Reading.......2007-08-08

We secondary (Grades 7-12) English teachers have a weakness and it's called reading. Oh, we're GREAT readers and love literature and know how to teach it (to avid and average readers). But throw a kid at us who struggles with reading (and we get them every year) and they're likely to fall through the cracks, because our solutions are rather simplistic. We say things like, "Read it again," or "Sound the word out," or "Look the word up." When they hesitate before a strange word while reading aloud, we give them the word. When they don't do the reading assignment, we watch them flunk our quizzes and wonder why they are so lazy.

Enter Kylene Beers, with easily the best book I've read on the subject of struggling readers who are NOT of elementary age, but of middle and high school age. Yes, elementary teachers have reading specialists to fall back on, but in secondary schools, it is often either the English teacher who must intervene or no one. For Beers, the inspiration for writing this book was the number of former students she had who were condemned to "or no one" because she simply did not know what to do. For me (and probably legions of other teachers) her story will sound chillingly familiar. Fortunately, WHEN KIDS CAN'T READ: WHAT TEACHERS CAN DO is the antidote to our problems.

In this book, Beers identifies the myriad of types of students who struggle with reading, and why. She provides practical strategies on how to intervene if your students struggle with comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and word recognition/fluency/automaticity. There's also advice on how to help kids in responding to literature, as well as how to help them find a book that will tap into their interests.

Each chapter includes an introduction and thorough definition of the problem, a section called "Step Inside a Classroom" which details real-life transcripts of kids having this exact reading difficulty, and a list of various strategies you can try -- even if it means having different groups with scaffolding activities within your language arts classroom. At the end of the book are appendices that include such helpful reproducibles as bookmark templates, common roots/prefixes/and suffixes, Fry and Dolch word lists, common phonics generalizations, 175 most common syllables in the 5,000 most frequent English words, word sorts, easily confused words, common spelling rules, and booklists for every type of reader. Can you say goldmine? This is the end of the rainbow, folks.

I can't recommend this book enough to my fellow 7-12 English teachers. Reach out to your weak readers. Don't condemn them to a life of mediocrity (or worse) in literacy by assuming either it's their problem or they are beyond help. It's not and they aren't. Buy this book and put it to good use. This is where theory meets the road (called "practicality"). Be not only an English teacher, but a READING teacher (in every sense of the word).

Helpful.......2007-05-28

Beers book is very practical. She provides great information and strategies for both comprehension and fluency. Each strategy is explained fully followed by an example of how it has worked in a real classroom. Common questions about the strategies are then spoken about. Beers obviously has done great research because her suggestions target where I see many of our students struggling. I have shared her strategies with many thankful teachers.

OUTSTANDING!.......2007-05-19

DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEACH READING? BUY THIS BOOK! DON'T JUST TELL KIDS TO READ. GIVE THEM THE TOOLS TO BECOME BETTER READERS! THIS BOOK HAS ALL THAT! SO MANY S.D.A.I./ S.I.O.P. IDEAS! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ANYTHING ELSE. THIS BOOK SHOWS YOU HOW TO USE HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES TO TEACH PREDICTING, SUMMARIZING, INFERENCE, USING CONTEXT CLUES, ETC. THIS BOOK IS A GODSEND! THANK YOU KYLENE BEERS!

Believe the reviews!.......2007-03-11

I'm a Title 1 teacher in Oregon, and I work with the types of readers that Kylene Beers talks about in her book "When Kids Can't Read: What Teachers Can Do". I found her book to be loaded with practical, "use in your classroom the next day" ideas that are easy to implement.

Now, my school is an elementary school, and initially I avoided this book due to the "Guide for Teachers 6-12" label on it. Boy, was I wrong. While the focus of her book is for middle and high school teachers, most of her techniques are excellent techniques for the younger learners as well, especially the fifth grade students that I'm working with. She has taken many of the concepts we use in elementary school and upgraded them for older kids; but good teaching is good teaching, no matter what you are trying to do.

This book is so practical, on the inside front cover, you are given a simple chart that list reading problems that kids have, and the chapter that you can immediately turn to in order to get ideas! It can't get any friendlier than that.

However, I also suggest a more thorough read through of this content. Beers talks throughout the book of a student named George that she taught early in her career, before she knew much about teaching. Sprinkled through the text, before and after each chapter, write writes lovingly to George about how she failed him time and time again, in direct relation to the content of the chapter. As a teacher, looking back on my own career, I can totally relate to that. If I knew then what I know now... the letters become Beers "mea culpa", and they are a beautiful addition to the text.

I highly recommend this book for ANY teacher struggling to teach struggling readers reading. It's practical, easy to use, and loaded with great ideas.

Steven Raichlen's Beer-Can Chicken tells everything one should ever need to know about roasting a chicken upright on top of a can of beer. For those who find that premise strange or silly (Raichlen, in fact, thanks his publisher for being "wacky enough" to produce the book), the author describes beer-can chicken as "the perfect bird, crackly crisp, succulent within ... the most flavorful chicken you've ever tasted."

Raichlen's goal is to encourage grillers to have fun and use their imagination, and he presents 74 "offbeat recipes" as starting points. Notable selections include Beer-Can Turkey, which requires a giant 32-ounce can of Foster's to do the job; Welder's Chicken, a stewing hen wrapped in aluminum foil and turned with welder's gloves; Dirty Steaks, cooked right on the coals; and Diabolical Chicken, soaked with spicy French mustard and which Raichlen makes "whenever I'm short on time or fancy ingredients but want to impress the hell out of my guests." There are also recipes for "beerless birds" (Ginger Ale Chicken, Black Cherry Soda Chicken), side dishes, and desserts, as well as info on grilling techniques and equipment.

A chicken straddling a beer can, at the very least, makes a great conversation piece at an outdoor beer bash. Raichlen's most helpful hint? Make sure the beer can is open before putting it on the grill. --Andy Boynton

Book Description

Chicken on a beer can? You bet! When Steven Raichlen, America's barbecue guru, says it's the best grilled chicken he's ever tasted, cooks stop and listen.

An essential addition to every grill jockey's library, Beer-Can Chicken presents 75 must-try beer-can variations and other offbeat recipes for the grill. Recipes such as Saigon Chicken with Lacquered Skin and Spicy Peanut Sauce, Root Beer Game Hens, Beer-Can Turkey (uses the 32-ounce Foster's), Stoned Chicken (it's grilled under a brick), Dirty Steak, Fish on a Board (Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze), Mussels Eclade-grilled under pine needles, Grilled Eggs, Wacky Rumaki, Rotisseried Garlic Rolls-even Grilled Yellow Pepper Soup will have your mouth-watering. Whether on a can, on a stick, under a brick, in a leaf, on a plank, or in the embers, each grilling technique is explained in easy-to-follow steps, with recipes that guarantee no matter how crazy the technique, the results are always outstanding. So pop a cold one and have fun.

Soooo glad I ordered this book! Got a new Weber vertical poultry roaster for the grill (you have to buy one, worth the exorbitant price for the thing) combine it with this great book and voila - heaven in your grill! Bought one for a friend and ordering one for my son...go forth and purchase this and the Weber Poultry roaster and you will DINE TONITE!! (or when they come!) :)

Good Grilling Cookbook.......2006-03-15

This is a handy guide for anyone looking to find new recipes for your gas grill. I love cooking on the grill, and this book provided some interesting varaitions on some old favorites. Not every recipe was 5 star, but none were terrible. I am certain there is something for everyone.

Easy, quick and great tasting food.......2003-07-02

I became interested in this book after watching the TV show BBQ Bootcamp on the Food Network (try to watch that show if you can, it will help you understand the logic behind the recipes). Now that I have the book and have tried some of the unusual easy recipes I am more pleased than ever. The Beer Can Chicken alone may be the best chicken I've ever had. It's extra juicy and a little spicier than I would have expected but VERY GOOD.

CATALOGUE LISTING OF BEER CANS UP TO 1975 .......2005-01-30

Reference book. This book really is the bible for beercan collectors, people interested in development of the modern can structure (from the bottle through cone tops, steel through aluminum), or people who want to look into the history of cans/breweries that were in their local areas. A lot of fun just to turn through the pages.
There are 124 pages to the paperback edition (not sure if there was a hardcover edition). Pages 49-124 have apprx. 45 cans pictured per page listed alphabetically with a short description at the page bottom of the brewers name, location, and date.
Pages 1-23 describe old breweries, cans, pull top evolution and how to rate can conditions. Also brief pointers on how to restore old cans.
The cans are mostly American but some foriegn cans are shown as well.
Obviously much has happened in the beer industry since this book was published but it is the best point of departure for anyone interested in cans or brewery items. One day the Smithsonian will have a can collection and this book will be on display with it.

Not Your Usual Canned Characters or Story.......2005-07-15

Harvey is sure that his collection of beer cans will win him the coveted Sixth-Grade Superkid title, but he thinks he's up against former-friend Quint (a talented magician), and skateboarding mentor Eric. What he really needs to overcome are not his classmates but his inflated sense of importance and his willingness to take advantage of younger kids in order to improve his collection.

This could easily have been a cliche story of a boy who overcomes external conflict before glorying in victory, but Jamie Gilson throws a curve-ball here, and what we get instead is a silly, funny, introspective, thoroughly charming study of pride, greed, good advice, and forgiveness. It's not Shakespeare, but it's a fun, quick read middle-grade elementary schoolers will enjoy, and it's a good launching point from which their parents and teachers might begin conversations about ambition and priorities. Gilson creates an instantly likable main character with likable friends and likable siblings and places them deftly in a story where the only real villain is the main character himself.

A Great Book.......2004-01-09

This is a great book... as I remember anyway. It's been about 20 years since I read it, but I am about to buy it to read to my son. It's basically about a boy that goes around collecting beer cans and the different ways that finds super rare and collectible cans.

On a seperate note, why does Amazon have this and The Great Brain books listed as 9-12 reading level? I read these when I was in elementary school. So, either I was exceedingly brilliant (which I doubt), our kids are getting exceedingly stupid (partially true), or Amazon has many of these mis-categorized (most likely). Just my 2 cents.

Product Description

"Tom Toepfer is a native of Wisconsin, born and raised in Oshkosh, he now makes his home in Aurora, Illinois. He has been collecting beer cans for over three years, and as a part time hobby, deals in Antique Advertising and Brewery items. He works for the United States Government, Federal Aviation Agency, as an Air Traffic Controller at the Chicago Air Traffic Control Center in Aurora... All cans in this guide book are from his collection of over 3300 cans. (from about the author)" "WHY HAVE I WRITTEN THIS BOOK? There are two important reasons which I feel makes this book necessary for most beer can collectors to own. The first is that until the publication of this guide, there has not been a reference book about obsolete beer cans which collectors could have to aid them in their hobby. By using this book as a reference, collectors can be sure of what cans they're receiving in trades. They also can be sure that the cans they're trading for, are near equal in value. Too many times a novice collector trades rarer cans for those of little value. The second reason is the high, often ridiculous prices that unsuspecting beginning collectors are now paying for cans. Many collectors, in desperation to obtain new cans for their collection, are paying prices far above the true value of the cans. Recently at a Flea Market in suburban Chicago, I saw a young man pay $25.00 for a Champaign Velvet cone top (the most common of all cones) - outrageous. A Milwaukee Flea Market dealer was selling worthless Grade 5 dumpers at three to four dollars a piece. A few weeks ago a dealer at a local Flea Market was selling current Fyfe and Drum can (common as grass, sold in dix states at $1.70 a six-pack) for $2.00 each, while telling young people they were rare and valuable. Most can dealers who are selling by mail or at Antique Shows sell at a fair price but if a collector uses the prices in this book as a guideline to the real value of beer cans, they will be able to...

"This book is Thomas Toefper's third book about beer cans. His first book, Obsolete Beer Cans - Volume I, is already recognized as the finest beer can reference book yet published. Tom's second book, Beginner's Guide to Beer Cans, has become a best seller to the beginning beer can collector. Tom is a native of Wisconsin, born and raised in Oshkosh.

He works for the United States Government, Federal Aviation Agency, as an Air Route Traffic Controller at the Chicago Air Traffic Control Center in Auroa.... All cans in this book are from his collection of over 3700 cans. (from about the author)" "Since Volume I of Obsolete Beer Cans was written in the spring of 1975, several important changes in the beer can collecting hobby have taken place. I stated in Volume I that there were some two hundred and fifty thousand beer can collectors in the United States. 1975 saw a growth in beer can collecting far beyond anyone's expectations - growth to where there are now over a half million people of all ages, economic and ethnic backgrounds collecting beer cans. The hobby has spread out of the middle west like a tidal wave into all parts of America. Many thousands of people along the east coast have now discovered the fun and excitement of beer can collecting, along with thousands more in the mid-south and west coast areas. The fantastic growth of beer can collecting has created a demand for good obsolete beer cans far above the supply. This demand has caused the value of obsolete beer cans to rise rapidly. Can collectors caught up in a frantic desire to obtain good cans are paying higher and higher prices for cans; cans which were common a year ago are now deldom seen for sale or trade. Some collectors, in their desperation to get new cans, are paying prices far above the value of the can...." (from forward)

The Johns Hopkins edition features a foreword by Ralph Ellison, who praises the work as "one that springs from deep within that rich segment of the American grain which gave us the likes of Emerson and Whitman, Horatio Greenough and Constance Rourke -- yes, and Mark Twain."

Useful Price Guide: Cone Tops, Flats, & Pull Tab Beer Cans.......2001-07-16

This edition was an appreciated update to the previous edition. This is the 3rd edition that I have purchased. This edition includes 1995 updated prices to the previous version of the book which listed beer cans produced through 1975. It also includes a section with pictures and prices of 236 interesting pull tab cans produced from 1975 to at least 1982. This book is a good pictorial display and reference price guide of some 8300 beer cans including 7276 12 oz flat top & pull tab cans, 514 16 oz cans, 413 12 oz cone tops, and 72 7,8,&10 cans. This book also has price listings without pictures for an additional 400 or so 12 oz cone tops, 145 quart cones, 3 16 oz cones, 27 gallons, & one 1/2 gallon. This is an excellent reference book. I highly recommend it. I would like to see a future edition with more of the 12 oz cones pictured. I eagerly await the next edition.

Well, the pictures are certainly nice!.......2000-10-16

This book would have benefitted hugely from a bit of competent editing by someone possessed of a nodding familiarity with English grammar and usage, and perhaps an eye for layout; the text meant to accompany the photographs may be related to them only with difficulty. Overall, the Collector's Digest to Beer Cans exudes the cobbled-together aura of earnest, well-meaning, but ultimately amateurish production. The photographs themselves are nicely executed, though perhaps smaller than utility would dictate. The array of cans represented pictorally and, in a later section, textually, is fairly extensive, though not comprehensive by any means. Certainly, this is a very useful book for the price; one finds, though, that it merely whets the appetite for more thoroughgoing references.

A Handy Guide For Beer Can Hunters.......2000-06-02

This 157 page, softbound 5 x 8" book is handy to keep with you as you look for beer cans to add to your collection. There are nearly 6,000 full color pictures in this book and thousands more listed ! It covers the period 1932 to 1975. A glossary of terms is provided, and information about can condition. It includes half gallon cans, cone tops, and new finds. Every beer can collector will find this a great reference to keep handy. Values are 1995.
