Physical description:

Summary:

In The Fire in the Equations, popular science writer Kitty Ferguson brings to life age-old questions in a lively and informative way. She makes complicated physics and biology theories understandable, and describes new ways of seeing how God may interact with the world, as seen in light of these discoveries. She even raises such questions as “how God might answer prayers” from the point of view of physics. In taking the reader through a world of paradoxes and improbabilities, she seeks to establish a dialog between people of faith and people of science. “What we know about science,” Ferguson states, “doesn’t necessarily make God inevitable, but doesn’t rule God out either.”

Father Melancholy’s Daughter, is widely recognized as one of the author’s most poignant and accomplished novels — a bittersweet and ultimately transcendent story of a young girl’s devotion to her father, the rector of a small Virginia church, and of the hope, dreams, and love that sustain them both in the wake of the betrayal and tragedy that diminished their family.  When Ruth abandoned her family, she left behind a deeply religious husband and a precocious six-year-old daughter, Margaret. Now grown, Margaret burns with unresolved questions that demand answers.

How to talk so kids can learn– at home and in school : what every parent and teacher needs to know / Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish … [et al.].

Publication info:

New York : Simon & Schuster, 1996, c1995.

Physical description:

272 p. ; 22 cm.

General Note:

“A Fireside book.”

Summary:

Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish developed this book in response to constant requests to adapt the unique communications strategies that hallmark their books, lectures, and audio-visual workshops to specific concerns of the classroom. To do so, they teamed up with two award-winning teachers who well know the problems of our faltering school system. This book utilizes the dramatically effective “dialogue” technique (what to say and how and when to say it) that has made Faber and Mazlish’s work famous worldwide. It also features engaging “right and wrong” cartoons that show how to handle typical learning situations so kids will be inspired to do their best. Each chapter includes questions and answers and stories from parents and teachers that illustrate how both have successfully used this method to help kids handle the schoolwork, behavioral, and peer problems that interfere with learning. In every chapter there is a one-page “quick reminder” that sums up that chapter’s salient points for speedy reference.
