The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity: A Modern Practical Guide to the Ancient Way (Fireside Books (Fireside)) Review

This was an amazing life changing book for me. I read this book before becoming an alternative healer, and I know that this book was part of my transition process. I changed many of my eating and life habits when I read this. My heath has improved. The person who originally recommended this book to me was Patrick "Rick" Fuller, a runner competing for the Olympics. Rick felt that the ideas in this book greatly improved his running performance. I highly recommend this book to all my clients.

Successful Single-Sex Classrooms: A Practical Guide to Teaching Boys & Girls Separately (Jossey-Bass Teacher)

Successful Single-Sex Classrooms: A Practical Guide to Teaching Boys & Girls Separately (Jossey-Bass Teacher) Review

It is good to have this balanced approach to considering the value of single-sex classrooms as the option gains popular awareness and possible acceptance as a panacea for problems we now face in our schools.

I found the presentation of theory and research to be fair and reasoned. I think the content is well presented for easy understanding and application, both for those entering or enlarging the alternative structure of classroom or school and those just now beginning consideration of the option.

The substantial involvement of practicing professionals from the Gurian Institute helped me approach the subject with confidence and knowledge that suggestions were reality-based and results-oriented.

Successful Single-Sex Classrooms: A Practical Guide to Teaching Boys & Girls Separately (Jossey-Bass Teacher) Overview

This book is an essential resource for educators who are teaching or leading schools with single-gender classes, whether they're in public, private, or Catholic schools. It is a "soup-to-nuts" guide, covering everything from curriculum planning and classroom design to school policies and parent-teacher communication. Whether contemplating this new educational trend, or already working within one of the 12,000 single-gender schools, this practical guide shows educators how they can make the most of a unique educational opportunity.

Positioned at the forefront of brain-based learning, Michael Gurian's work translates and distills the latest scientific research into key points which can be immediately integrated into an educator's existing practice. The research underlines the importance of single-sex learning, and supports the creation and implementation of new strategies for accommodating the brain differences of boys and girls - at both the school and classroom level.
