this is the book for economy beginner
this book can be divided into four parts: 1. introduction to economics. 2. the macroeconomy. 3. the microeconomy. 4. the international economy.

structure of each chapter: 1. the authors tells you the chapterobjectives 2. content of the booka. with bolded pointb. colorfigure and table 3. the author intermingle each theory with an application case for you to do some thinking. 4. at the end of each chapterthere is a "up fordebate" which the authors gave the readersasubject to debate and they have also includedpros and cons, the"up for debate" is for thatchapter only. 5. at the end ofeach chapter the authors alsogave you "Test YourUnderstanding" questionssort of enhance and refresh your memory ofthe chapter.It's a few questions, not summary. 6. then summary,key terms and concepts. 7. Review questions and Discussion Questions. 8."Critical thinking" at the end of the chapterI think theauthors wants the readers to thinkof some critical real-world situationespecially by applying the economy theories. 9. finally we haveappendix which explains more about content of the chapter, but they arenotthe main point of the chapter.

I am a beginner in economy andbusiness field as well, I find this book interesting, I understand lots ofeconomic situation in USA as well as other country, you're not going tobelieve me that if I tell you I don't know who is alan greenspan, I knowhim now, and I know what is he doing and why as well. as a conclusion, thisis a good book for study in a class with teacher's guidance, it's not agood book to study alone or self-pace study, cause there were lots of casesthat we (beginner) might not be able to understand it totally, and if youare not a beginner, this book worth reading because there were lots ofcases that you have to do some thinking. ...

What secret could be hidden in the one-room schoolhouse?

Spring term at the Spirit Lake School had begun, and the one-room building is filled with the excitement of friends who have finally gotten back together again. But from the very first day, this spring term promises to be different than any other in the school's history.

First, there's Ben, the brother of Kate O'Connell's mother. Although he's older than the teacher, he needs to learn English and joins Kate and Anders as school begins. At six feet three inches tall, Ben causes a stir with the school children and the teacher!

Then, there's the strange sound that Kate hears above the noise of the first day's hubbub. Where did it come from? The ceiling above her desk? Or from beneath the floor? Could she have imagined it?

A series of baffling clues that seem to make no sense have Kate, Anders, and Erik searching for answers.

Is the only way to solve the mystery under the cover of darkness?

Product Description
Winner of the 1995 Christopher Award "Books for Young People" Category.This best seller by the innovative team of Matthaei, Grutman and Cvijanovic is a visually stunning fictional account of a young nineteenth-century Sioux warrior’s quest for knowledge that takes him from the plains of his childhood to a far-off boarding school where he learns the ways of the white world and the value of his own traditions.A hand-calligraphed tribute to the narrative pictographs recorded by Plains artists in the ruled ledgerbooks they acquired in trade, the weaving of Cvijanovic’s richly detailed original illustrations in the "ledger" style into a simply written story inspired by actual events holds appeal for young readers and those who wish to learn about American Indian art and history. ...

Unique Book
I think this is the third time I've purchased this book. It's a great one to give to a young boy, which I've done a couple of times. But this time, I'm putting a copy in my own library. It's a keeper!

Happy With Purchase
I am very happy with this book.However, I was under the impression that it was a copy from an original journal kept by a Native American.The information on the back page indicates this is not so. The colors and pictures depict a contrast of cultures and it is still a worth while book.

A Native American Story
I received this book in a very timely manner.The price was excellent.This was by far one of the best stories I have ever read about Native Americans.Sad to some degree but really informative.I am so impressed with Amazon.com's web site. Thank you Amazon.

Beautiful homage to the ledgebook storytelling of the Plains Indians
*The Ledgerbook of Thomas Blue-Eagle* is a beautifully designed and constructed book that harkens back to the ledgerbook storytelling of the Plains Indians, especially the young students of the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. From the marbled endpapers to the ruled and "textured" pages that are the backdrop of this book's storytelling, this is a well executed picture book for all ages.

This book is the fictitious story of Thomas Blue-Eagle, a young student at the Carlisle School who uses "the white man's language" to relate who he is and where he comes from. Illustrated in a pictograph style, Blue-Eagle's story is a poignant imagining of the real-life stories of the Plains Indians at the end of the 19th Century.

A Guide to my Book Rating System:

2 stars = Don't bother, clean your bathroom instead.
3 stars = Wasn't a waste of time, but it was time wasted.
4 stars = Good book, but not life altering.
5 stars = This book changed my world in at least some small way.

A superb, multilcultural, timeless, educational masterpiece
Of the many excellent reviews of this book - starred in PW, for example - why did you choose the Kirkus Review's?The Ledgerbook was supervised, vetted and blessed by Arthur Amiotte, a Sioux Elder, with more credentials than you can count.A leading advocate of the power of education, Mr. Amiotte 's approval of and great delight in the authenticity of this book has obviously been overlooked in the KR reviewer's research. Throughout the entire country, this book has been cited again and again by educators and parents alike as being the most powerful, interactive teaching tool they've come across in years, not to mention being an extraordinry feast for the eyes. Please research your reviews before choosing the one that will (incorrectly in this case) represent the book to your many readers.Subjecting an extraordinary book to bad PR out of ignorance should be beneath you ...

Most wide ranging book about human psychology
This is probably the most wide ranging and best book ever written about human psychology. Even though it is more than 100 years old, it still gives the best description of the width and range of human thinking andactivities.

Roughly speaking, there are two main areas inpsychology:

1. The clinical psychology, psychoanalysis and treatment.That area was to a large part shaped by Freud.

2. The cognitivepsychology which describes how we think and experience the world. That areawas founded by William James, and this book is his main work

The bookwas written before the separation of psychological science, philosophy anddiscussions about ethics and human values. It was also written before muchof the cognitive psychology degenerated into investigations of white micerunning through mazes. It can therefore give a wide ranging and consistentwiev of our thinking and experience. ... Read more
