This detective novel is a classic--but it's also a lot of fun........2007-09-17
I'll confess that I almost put The Woman in White down after the first fifty pages or so. It seemed obvious to me what would happen: a beautiful and delicate heiress falls in love with a poor drawing master, but is forced to renounce him for the evil nobleman who really only wants her money. Then, the intricate plotting (the story is related in the voices of different characters) drew me in and the plot turned out to be not quite so obvious, after all. Sure, you can read quickly past some of the verbose descriptions, Marion is too good to be true, and Collins does deal in stock figures when it comes to the "lower" classes. Despite these flaws, the mystery at the heart of the novel will keep you turning the pages. It's a wonderful diversion when you're too tired for more weighty reading matter and you'd like a detective story that's decidedly NOT contemporary. The portrait of the "invalid" uncle, Mr. Fairlie, is wickedly delicious, too. Have fun.
Wow! I just finished this book.......2007-08-01
and I loved it. I couldn't put it down. It is a 19th century puzzle that is so well written and so much fun.
The best of Victorian suspense.......2007-07-10
Collin's novel is the best example of Victorian mystery and suspense. Full of tangential story lines and detailed, lush descriptions of nineteenth-century England. A must-read for any student of literature and anyone interested in Victorian history and culture.
Totally gripping.......2007-06-26
I have read this book several times and just reread it after many years. I don't understand those who think it hard to follow. If one pays attention the plot is easily understood. Too many people are used to being spoonfed and have trouble with Dickens and Collins because they demand attention.
This book is frightening and not in any supernatural way but because I wondered what I would do if I had been Laura or Anne, shut away in an asylum against my will. what would I do if I were trapped and unable to reach anyone to help me? It's this helplessness that is so frightening and the inability for the law to do anything without proof.
I highly recommend this book. And Marian Halcamb is a true heroine in a Victorian era, fighting back at injustice. These are characters you won't soon forget although Laura is very much in the Dickens mode: pretty, complaisant, mostly, and depending on others. A woman of her times.
Woman in White Book.......2007-05-25
The book was in very good condition and arrived in a timely manner.
Book Description
Once again, in this expanded Second Edition, Gary Howard outlines what good teachers know, what they do, and how they embrace culturally responsive teaching. Howard brings his bestselling book completely up to date with today's school reform efforts and includes a new introduction and a new chapter that speak directly to current issues such as closing the achievement gap, and to recent legislation such as No Child Left Behind. With our nation's student population becoming ever more diverse, and teachers remaining largely White, this book is now more important than ever. A must-read in universities and school systems throughout the country, We Can't Teach What We Don't Know continues to facilitate and deepen the discussion of race and social justice in education.
Customer Reviews:
A useless book..........2007-09-14
The author spends half the book trying to establish (and burnish, in my opinion) his "Culturally Sensitive White Guy" credentials and the other half stating the freaking obvious. If you've ever lived in an area with more than one race, you'll get precious little from this book. On the other hand, if you're from northern Idaho, this might be just the ticket...
Reflections on We Can't Teach What We Don't Know: White Teachers, Multiracial Schools.......2007-03-29
I found this book settling in the midst of my own efforts to sort out and address issues of White priviledge and dominance.
Gray Howard shares his journey through the difficult world and work of multicultural understanding with humor and sensitivity. He identifies the unspoken truths about priviledge and dominance in western culture, in such a way that relieves the burden of guilt, allows for self-reflection, and maps a path for growth for White educators.
The book addresses three key themes: Recognizing and acknowledging the dynamics of dominance; defining the stages of racial identity transformation; and identifying the ways in which improving cultural sensitivity can postively impact the lives and education of all students.
Howard encourages White teachers to explore their own racial identities and move along the path towards a transformationist White identity that seeks and values diverse points of view, connects with one's own cultural roots,involves self and students in explorations of other cultures and perspectives, engages in social action, and continues to grow and change.
This is not a "How To" book with road map to change, it is more of a "Why to" book with a topograhical map to help you plan your journey. Having read this book, I am inspired to continue my travels. To seek more information and find ways to promote a more intentional multicultural focus in my school and community.
I recommend this book for those teachers (White and otherwise) who are interested in or have already embarked on their own journeys.
Info on multicultural education.......2007-02-14
This book is very informative. It gives new insight into how we as educators must refrain from the blame game and teach our students how to appreciate each of the individual cultures around the globe.
Also Useful for Teachers of Color.......2006-10-13
This book was a nice surprise as a pre-service teacher in education classes where the realities of white supremacy is not discussed, the first hand experiences of teachers of color are silenced, black/Latino or "at-risk multicultural" students are demonized, poor white kids are invisible and the issues of other groups are addressed superficially through "practical strategies"mandated by here today/ gone tomorrow popular scholars. This book gave me as an African American educator a space to see how whiteness functions in everyone's lives in the public school system. Each page helped me understand better why white people sometimes act in certain ways.
Thank you Gary Howard for the excellent analysis and methods for all teachers to use as they transform themselves and their schools.
great service.......2006-03-16
I recieved my book within 3 days by ordering on just the regular service.

Better than any book I can think of, White Noise captures the particular strangeness of life in a time where humankind has finally learned enough to kill itself. Naturally, it's a terribly funny book, and the prose is as beautiful as a sunset through a particulate-filled sky. Nice-guy narrator Jack Gladney teaches Hitler Studies at a small college. His wife may be taking a drug that removes fear, and one day a nearby chemical plant accidentally releases a cloud of gas that may be poisonous. Writing before Bhopal and Prozac entered the popular lexicon, DeLillo produced a work so closely tuned into its time that it tells the future.
Book Description
Winner of the National Book Award, White Noise was immediately hailed as Don DeLillo's "breakout novel" when it first appeared in 1985. The novel entertains a wide array of compelling topics and concerns with consummate agility. Study this spot-on satire of post-war America.
The title, Don DeLillo's White Noise, part of Chelsea House Publishers' Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Don DeLillo's White Noise through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Don DeLillo, a chronology of the author's life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.

Beautiful payoff.......2007-10-07
I'll admit this one can drag a bit in many places, I put it on the back burner 3 times before finishing it. But once you get to the end it really does change the way you see the rest of the book and makes you want to read it again. If you meet someone who says it was pretentious ask them if they finished it. The author is clearly in on the truth about his charactors and people like them in real life.
Cutting through the noise (3.5*s).......2007-09-14
White Noise is a lament on the superficiality and noise of modern life and the overwhelming prospect of death. Jack Gladney is the head of Hitler studies at a small Northern college living in some equanimity with his fourth wife Babette and various kids from their marriages.
There is a great deal of artificiality that permeates the book, which mirrors the fluff and stuff of everyday life. The kids are hipper, wiser, more observant, and more questioning than the parents, who seem to be in constant deference mode to that pretentiousness. Even the simplest of conversations turn into a debate over what is meant or implied. Bits of irrelevant, offsetting popular culture are continually interjected in the narrative: advertising, television, tabloids, etc. It's in the consumption paradise of a brightly lit grocery store that the characters are most comfortable. Jack must shore up his teaching position by constructing a persona, including attire, suitable for a Hitler scholar while hiding the fact that he does not speak German. A disaster official looks at a community evacuation from a noxious gas cloud as merely an opportunity for training. Jack and Babette have an endless dialog over the fear of death, who will die first, and how to ameliorate the situation.
Some refer to the book as postmodernist. It is definitely commentary on absurdities, commercialism, contradictions, meaninglessness, etc. The characters and the plot are rather far-fetched, perhaps necessarily so. Some may prefer commentary on life to be more down-to-earth realistic.
The Scenes with Family Discussions are Unparalleled [82][T].......2007-09-11
This book entangles rip-snorting laugh-out-loud dialogue with sardonic, depressing, and gloomy introspection by numerous characters.
Death, a common fear of anyone, is the theme of this book. Counting the number of times the word is used would amount to full time occupation. White noise is death. White death is the subject of discussion. "What if death is nothing but sound?" "Electrical noise." "You hear it forever. Sound all around. How awful." How depressing!
The book revolves around the dysfunctional combined families of Jack Gladney and his fifth wife, Babette. With a house full of preteenage and teenage children, the dinner and other discussions are both intently ADHD and outrageous. And, Jack is something of a goofball himself. He is a professor of Hitler studies who speaks not a lick of German. His discussions with other professors are enlightening and entertaining. And, when he has a Hitler symposium, Delillo writes, "The Hitler scholars assembled, wandered, ate voraciously, laughed through oversized teeth." Surreal? Very.
The depression peaks when we witness a death where "White noise [is]everywhere." We almost see what Jack and Babette dread.
The ending, without ruining the plot, surprised and disappointed me. The first 300 pages were great satire on the college professor's life, miserable and absolutely happy. In the end, he sees things better, but is probably much less happy.
Many aspects of this book reminded me of "The Moviegoer." Each protagonist is self deprecating, and endearing as well. Each is full of human frailty, but these weaknesses construct their personalities' strengths.
If you are still suspicious of this book - read Chapter 15. Delillio's pithy - almost aphorismatic - discussion contrasting Elvis to Hitler is both hilarious and reflective of substantial research into the character of Jack. If you do not like this chapter, you will not like this book. But, I believe few can finish this chapter and put the book down.
he slices open family life with emotional candor.......2007-07-24
for all the discussion of how this book fits into the cannon of postmodern literature, complaints of pretention, lack of care in narrative form, i think that something important is being overlooked.
i can't think of any other book that approaches the such a poignant telling of LATE 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE. jack's tender musings and relations with babette and their kids... the sort of messy cacaphony of family conversations in the car... the surprise, distance, and fierce love that jack feels for his kids as they grow and assert their personalities... the haphazard manner in which jack and babette attempt to protect their children from whatever dangers lurk in their environment...it's all lovely, sharply written, true-- and buried in the mess of human thought (virginia woolf...yes).
maybe it strikes a cord with me because i grew up a professor's daughter in a college town in the 80s and 90s, and might not have the same poignancy for someone else, but i whole-heartedly recommend this book not only as a text, but as a novel.
Pretentiousness Run Amok.......2007-07-22
Read this on an empty stomach or its unabashed pretentiousness will make you throw up.
Book Description
Vivian Paley presents a moving personal account of her experiences teaching kindergarten in an integrated school within a predominantly white, middle-class neighborhood. In a new preface, she reflects on the way that even simple terminology can convey unintended meanings and show a speaker's blind spots. She also vividly describes what her readers have taught her over the years about herself as a "white teacher."
Customer Reviews:
White teacher.......2007-05-06
Used this for a college class! Great book! Paley was very ahead of her time in dealing with multi-cultural issues in early childhood education settings.
Excellent.......2006-09-03
This book will really bring to light exactly how children learn to identify themselves. This book will reinforce the truth that prejudice is learned and that adults play a huge role in the value systems that children adopt. You'll also find a few things in here that make you giggle...after all the book is about a kindergarten class.
A Teacher's Memoire of Diversity.......2006-06-06
Paley developed an understanding about why kids behave the way they do. When I was in pre-school in the early 80's I had teachers who were like her; Jewish women who knew how to make the day enjoyable and constructive at the same time. However, Paley has one talent that most teachers don't have, and that is a vast threshhold of patience. She coaches a little boy away from his bad habits, using praise instead of punishment, and as a teacher I find such tactics superb. But it takes even greater effort not to get angry, and that's why Paley's efforts are sucessful.
Paley (humorously) recounts the parents who didn't trust her. She was a proponent of integration, and when her class was integrated, she had to get used to little kids with upbringings that were opposite of anything she knew. But she certainly practiced what she preached, never blaming the kids' problems on race or their economic status.
truthfulness is liberating.......2002-01-05
What struck me about the book is the author's willingess to be open about her lack of understanding about racial barriers. The writing is self-reflective without being self-loathing.It's honest and very engaging.
Multicultural Education.......2000-11-07
In White Teacher, Vivian Gussin Paley describes her experiences as a young teacher. She tells of her reactions when faced with a classroom full of children who are different from her. By recounting her experiences as a child and reflecting upon them, she is able to better understand why certain children behave in certain ways. These reflections, given in a narrative form, inform the reader of the thought processes of Paley. Through these examples, one is able to better understand what the author was experiencing.
Paley's intention is to prepare future readers for the experiences she has had by giving the reader her reactions to them. She tells the reader what worked to make a bad situation better, as well as what did not. Most of the cultural differences Paley describes occur between her, a Jew of European descent and the African-American children in her classes. However, many of the lessons and principles used apply to all children. Her examples include children with different learning styles; comments taken out of context; children who are excluded from a group and those forming the groups based on a singular characteristic. The majority of the classroom settings are in half-day kindergartens.
This is a wonderful book for anyone who has ever had, or will face a multicultural situation - that would include pretty much all of us. There is an added value in this book for potential teachers. Paley shows how to effectively validate children's perceptions of the world and make them feel value and self-worth.
Book Description
For African Americans, school is often not a place to learn but a place of low expectations and failure. In urban schools with concentrations of poverty, often fewer than half the ninth graders leave with a high school diploma.
Black and White teachers here provide an insightful approach to inclusive and equitable teaching and illustrate its transformative power to bring about success.
This book encourages reflection and self-examination, calls for understanding how students can achieve and expecting the most from them. It demonstrates what’s involved in terms of recognizing often-unconscious biases, confronting institutional racism where it occurs, surmounting stereotyping, adopting culturally relevant teaching, connecting with parents and the community, and integrating diversity in all activities.
This book is replete with examples of practice and telling insights that will engage teachers in practice or in service. It should have a place in every classroom in colleges of education. Its empowering message applies not just to teachers of Black students, but illuminates teaching in every racially diverse setting.

Different perspectives.......2006-08-02
An excellent collection of essays by renowned authors. A great tool for any classroom where diversity exists, and the teacher values the creation of a climate of tolerance.
Book Description
Winner of the National Book Award in 1985, White Noise is the story of Jack and Babette and their children from their six or so various marriages. They live in a college town where Jack is Professor of Hitler Studies (and conceals the fact that he does not speak a word of German), and Babette teaches posture and volunteers by reading from the tabloids to a group of elderly shut-ins. They are happy enough until a deadly toxic accident and Babette's addiction to an experimental drug make Jake question everything. White Noise is considered a postmodern classic and its unfolding of themes of consumerism, family and divorce, and technology as a deadly threat have attracted the attention of literary scholars since its publication. This Viking Critical Library edition, prepared by scholar Mark Osteen, is the only edition of White Noise that contains the entire text along with an extensive critical apparatus, including a critical introduction, selected essays on the author, the work and its themes, reviews, a chronology of DeLillo's life and work, a list of discussion topics, and a selected bibliography.
Customer Reviews:
An Excellent Case Study.......2005-07-20
This book provides a critical look at the world of postmodern culture. It gives perspective which is not easy to find and also provides a critique in non-academic language, a helpful addition to any library.
Get this edition!.......2004-11-25
I've sometimes asked myself why I don't get a library card and save the money I spend buying books. This book answered that question, because the reviews and essays featured in this edition provided such insight and enlightenment that I was inspired to return to the novel again and again for a more penetrating read.
The novel itself is beautifully, brilliantly written; DeLillo is a master ironist. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the novel the first time, I highly recommend revisiting it after reading the critical essays (which were so informative that they were quite enjoyable reads themselves).
If you're going to read White Noise outside of a college class, this is the edition you should get.
Witty.......2003-08-06
This book was required reading in my college literature class at Auburn University. I enjoyed this book more than any of the other books required (Jane Eyre, Madame Bovary, Gulliver's Travels, etc). This book gave excellent descriptions and amazing character development. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Should we be laughing?.......2002-05-10
This book has a very humorous touch to it, while questioning our culture. The book is the story of a typical family, living in this commercialistic society. It shows that our lives' are based on what the media tells us. It's strange that a book that questions so much about the way we live can also be comedic, but it does so very nicely. Why? Because Don DeLillo is a genius. He does not act as though the concepts he writes about are very important. His humor is comparable to those of us who can't stop laughing at funerals, or roar when someone trips and falls. This book is indeed a trip!
Great novel for English classes.......2002-05-09
White Noise by Don Delillo was a book that should be read by all ages. It's basic concepts that were brought out were the acts of consumerism and death. There was also some sex involved in there too. As you can see, a perfect book for the growing college student. I also liked how Delillo brought in some humorous moments when they were during his grocery shopping and watching television. This novel basically describes the typical American family and shows how this family is just as normal as the rest of us, but shows the side we never really see. I particularly like how Delillo displays Jack as this bizarre man who really focuses on death. He can't help but think about it. I really liked him in this novel because he reminds me of myself as I walk around and think "outside the box" if you know what I mean. This book constantly made me laugh, especially when the father fights with his son. That whole argument is hysterical! The book throws some good twists to American society that most of us never see. My basic thoughts on this novel are that you should read this because it will really make you laugh, and make you think about your typical day of work and life.
Book Description
Educators are frustrated with being asked to do work that they haven't been trained to do. Yet the effect of this work is to improve student achievement, the sole goal in education.
Product Description
This book provides a discussion forum for the experiences of faculty of color teaching in predominantly white institutions. The knowledge and insights gained from the narratives shared across a variety of colleges and universities provide faculty and administrators in higher education with helpful strategies for recruitment and retention. The experiences documented here extend beyond teaching in general to other areas such as administration, institutional climate, mentoring, recruitment, relationships with colleagues and students, and research. More importantly, the chapters offer a variety of recommendations so that predominantly white colleges and universities can continue to ensure that institutions change in substantive ways.
A hallmark of this book is the diversity of knowledge, firsthand experiences, and insights provided by the faculty of color who contributed to it. The authors represent a variety of cultures, ethnicities, identities, and nationalities—African American, American Indian, Asian, Asian American, Chamorro, Jamaican, Latina/Latino, Mexican American, South African, Muslim—as well as disciplines—business, dentistry, education, engineering, ethnic studies, health education, political science, psychology, public policy, social justice, social work, sociology, and speech, language, and hearing science. This book also has the potential to impact the dialogue in academia on affirmative action and the institutional goal of achieving parity so that the faculty ranks in higher education mirror the minority talent represented in the nation. Faculty of Color makes recommendations for faculty development, instructional development, and organizational development practice, and raises issues for! commentary and investigation.

Coolhead for Cool Families.......2007-06-25
This is a great book! The illustrations by Colin White are original and sometimes profoundly insightful. The poems by his mother, Jen Lasker White, perfectly match the style, intent and wit of Colin's art work. Although this book is fun for everyone, books of poems that boys love are few and far between. This one truly delights and inspires my 10 year old son. And that ain't easy! Kudos to Jen and Colin!

For every Mother who loves her son.......2007-06-25
I read this book with my 8 year old son who LOVED it. The pictures remind my son of the silly books he likes to read. The poems that go with the pictures could not be more clever. Seriously!! We have our favorites picked out but found them all to be great fun.
The idea that this was written by a mother connecting to her son's art work is what clinched it. Something about that bond that speaks volumes.
Coolhead Luke.......2007-06-24
Coolhead Luke is a fabulous collaborative effort between mother and son.
The son's wildly insightful drawings are perfectly matched by his mother's
lyrical verse-stories that delight with intelligence, insight, plain fun,
and wise moral endings outside of any overt religious bias. This is a
5-star book for middle-school kids and every imaginable adult! Read it out
loud (as all poetry should be read) and find yourself belly-laughing while
caught in the nets of surprisingly delightful insights in rhyme.
A Delightful Chidren's Book for All Ages.......2007-06-24
Coolhead Luke is a very special children's book for all ages. Jen White's humorous verses beautifully highlight Colin's original, entertaining drawings and at the same time teach important and meaningful lessons that children can easily absorb. Once you read this mother son collaboration with your child, you will want to buy books for all his or her friends, and so will your child! Coolhead Luke would be a great birthday or Christmas present for a grandchild, too. Tasha Halpert author of Heartwings: Love Notes for a Joyous Life
