The Darwin
Awards Just for fun, tales of the stupid and the unorganized. "If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error." There's the bungee jumper whose ropes exceeded the length of the distance he was jumping. And the bike rider who didn't hear the oncoming jet when he accidentally rode his bicycle onto the jetway. He was listening to his walkman. Great stories, usable in numerous teaching situations. |

The 5 Minute
Iliad Short descriptions of great books. You'll find this a valuable book when teaching summarizing. See the Shrinklits book on the previous page for a similar item. |
The
Difference Engine In this fictional piece, Victorian England is transformed by Babbage's "Difference Engine," a mechanical computer. Interesting novel of what might have happened if computers had appeared a hundred years early. I liked it because I find Victorian England fascinating (the days of Sherlock Holmes) and I'm interested in computers. |
Death
at an Early Age This is a dated book now, but still fascinating. Jonathan Kozol has been at the forefront of education reform in public schools for many years. I met him once on a airplane and he was a warm, articulate, and inspired gentleman. Although dated, some teachers might find this book still amazingly and sadly accurate. |
