I teach Masters students in Reading Education. Their Capstone paper is an action research project. Of all the action research/teacher research books I've reviewed, this one is by far the most direct, approachable introduction to classroom action research. The newer, 2nd edition is an excellent revision of this edition which includes a chapter on the use of technology in action research.

My father was diagnosed with colon cancer 4 years ago. He continues to undergo chemo every three weeks. This is one of the first books my parents picked up to help him deal with the side-effects in a more natural way, although digestive problems do need to be treated medically at times. This book is very easy to read, it has simple recipes that address the side effects and are tasty. The easy recipes are a benefit for both caregivers and the person with cancer as having to make meals can be exhausting. Since they raved about the book, I have given several copies to other people who have been diagnosed with other forms of cancer. Each person I've given it to has loved the recipes and the easy to read format of the book.

I stumbled on Sharon Shinn by accident and found I like her writing style. Heart of Gold is an obvious commentary on race relations and the tensions caused by intolerance. it was an interesting premise and an enjoyable airplane read.

It isn't often that I have time to read a "fun" book as a graduate student. But, I was on vacation and took this along. I expected a beach read, but was pleasantly surprised to find that Jenna Starborn not only followed the story structure of Jane Eyre, but even adopted the writing style. As a former English teacher, I savored each sentence and reveled in the unique combination of sci-fi and Victorian sensibilities.

Simple and easy to follow, with fairly normal ingredients that most people have in their kitchen. Also easy to use as base recipes and add your own personal touches. Good for people who just want to cut down on the amount of meat in their diets.
