Good ideas for middle schoolers!
I am a first-year religious ed teacher and was looking for some ideas to share with middle schoolers.This book has good ideas that are themed by the month or topic; there is also a "game" section.I would recommend this more for youth groups or Sunday morning groups.My group meets under a slightly different format, but I am still able to use some of the lessons.

Al fin alguien digno para destronar a Potter.
Sufres de "Post Potter Stress"? Entonces te llegó la cura. El Alquimista, Los Secretos del Inmortal Nicolas Flamel es nada más y nada menos que un excelente libro de aventuras, magia y suspenso. Definitivamente no es tan profundo y detallado como HP, sin embargo esta escrito de tal manera que vas a encontrar dificil dejar de leerlo.

Seré sincero, compré el libro por el nobre Nicolas Flamel, ya que fue nombrado una y otra vez en el primer libro de Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal. Pero este libro no tiene nada que ver con el universo de Potter.

El Autor, Michael Scott, ha creado un mundo increible al rededor de 2 mellizos que se ven involucrados en una aventura increible. Tienen como protector y mentor al Inmortal Nicolas Flamel, el cual ha sobrevivido a traves del tiempo gracias al CODEX y a la Piedra Filosofal.

La verdad les recomiendo este libro, es excelente. Eso si aún posees un niño dentro de ti. Si si eres adulto y quieres escapar de nuestra dura realidad por un rato...bueno esta es la respuesta.

Disfruten. ... Read more

Februar 2001 in Daytona Beach, Florida) war ein US-amerikanischer NASCAR-Rennfahrer und der Vater von Kerry, Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, Dale Jr. sowie Taylor Earnhardt. Zudem war er Gründer seines eigenen Teams Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Bekannt ist Earnhardt vor allem durch seine Erfolge im Winston Cup, der höchsten Rennserie der NASCAR, den er insgesamt sieben Mal gewann, ebenso wie Richard „The King" Petty. Zudem gewann er 76 Rennen, darunter das Daytona 500 der Saison 1998. Bekannt war er zudem durch seinen aggressiven Fahrstil, welcher ihn insbesondere unter den NASCAR-Fans populär machte. Zu seinen Spitznamen gehörten „Ironhead" (Eisenkopf), „Mr. Restrictor Plate" (Mr. Luftmengenbegrenzer; bezogen auf die Rennen mit Einsatz von Luftmengenbegrenzern in Daytona und Talladega), „The Man in Black" sowie der bekannteste „The Intimidator". Earnhardt starb bei einem Unfall in der letzten Runde des Daytona 500 der Saison 2001 und war damit der vierte Fahrer, der innerhalb von neun Monaten nach dem Tod von Adam Petty ums Leben kam.

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Paul Teutul Senior, Orange County Choppers, Michael Teutul, Paul Teutul Junior, Vincent Dimartino, Rick Petko. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Paul John Teutul, (1 mai 1949 à Yonkers (New York)), est le fondateur d'Orange County Ironworks et d'Orange County Choppers. Teutul travaille avec ses fils Paul Teutul junior et Michael Teutul, qui devinrent des célébrités quand le Orange County Choppers devint le lieu de tournage de la série télévisée appelée American Chopper en 2002. Il est connu pour son amblyopie, qui est la raison pour laquelle il porte occasionnellement des lunettes de soleil. Teutul grandit à Yonkers (New York). Il est un vétéran de la Guerre du Viêt Nam anciennement dans l'United States Merchant Marine. Dans certains épisodes d'American Chopper, Teutul a fait référence du passé concernant des abus de drogue et d'alcool. Il a déclaré qu'il consommait fréquemment de la marijuana et, d'après lui, "had basically done any drug around." ("a fait le tour de toutes les drogues"). Il sent que son alcoolisme influencait ses enfants à l'expérimenter aussi. Durant un épisode dans lequel Mikey interviewa l'équipe d'OCC pour le site web, il demanda à son père, "What is your best memory?" à laquelle Paul Sr. respondit, "Gettin' sober." (Mikey: "Quelle est ton meilleur souvenir?" - Paul, Sr. "Devenir sobre"). En plus, il a mentionné avoir manqué la majeure partie de l'enfance de ses enfants. Dans le livre écrit par les Teutul, " The Tale of the Teutuls ", Paul Sr révèle qu'il n'a pas connu quel était son deuxième prénom avant la trentaine, et il découvrit à la même période qu'il était juridiquement un "junior", et donc qu'il avait le même prénom que son père, mais le surnom de "senior" lui étai...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Way better than the movie
Reading this book has made me realize just how much of a bastardization the movie really was.

Jurassic Park Changed my Life
This film changed my life and my entire mentality. I was never a fond reader of books and one day my father arrived at my grandparents summer trailer in upstate Poconos and at the age of 10 I sat throguh what was a torrential rainstorm and he presented me with Jurassic Park the paperback in a brown paperbag.
I read the book in 3 days and this was the first book I never wanted to end. Michael Crichton was such a beautiful configuration of Science, history, fact, fiction and creativity combined with his own life experiences that everyone of his books made me incredibly smarter. Jurassic Park perfectly creates a vision that is conveyed so flawlessly that you cannot resist but immerse yourself in this fictional time and place. I was able to perfectly construct in my mind this park these dinosaurs and these characters and it made me want to absorb information and become an intellectual.
To this day I love the rain and storms because it reminds me of Jurassic Park and the many books such as Congo, Sphere and Travels (MC's BIO) and I felt whole.
Micheal Crichton you have and always will be the only hero I have ever had.

Very Good Book...
I read this book some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw the movie first and then read the book. The Book was better in my opinion; although, I did enjoy the movie. As books should, it provoked me to ponder if such cloning experiments are happening on some remote island in some remote part of the world. Who knows but it is interesting and scary to think that it could be happening.

The best book I have ever read
This book is honestley my favorite book of them all. I have always loved it and I read it over and over again. It has everything you need in a good book. I think the movie is even better. After you read this book, you will be so in to dinosaurs and Jurassic Park that you can't even believe it. I have always loved this book and the movie. After reading the book I now have the dream of becoming a Paleontologist.

RIVETING...

This is definitely one of the author's most enjoyable books. It is hard to believe that it was first published nearly twenty years ago. The fact that the book is still selling like hotcakes is testament to the strength of the story storyline. As with many of the author's books, there is definitely a moral to the story, as there usually is when a desire for profit and science are combined.

The premise of the book is fascinating. A wealthy man has a desire to make even more money. He comes up with a concept that be believes will be a sure fire winner. Design a new type of theme amusement part, one that is peppered with dinosaurs.To that end, he buys a remote island for his project and hires the best scientists and engineers that money can buy. They manage to come up with a process for cloning dinosaurs from recovered DNA, which will ensure that their goals are met and Jurassic Park becomes a reality.

There are, however, a couple of little glitches that need to be addressed before opening Jurassic Park to the general public. So, money bags invites a couple of experts, a paleontologist, a botanist, and a mathematician to the island for a dry run, as well as his own grandchildren. When they arrive, having been kept somewhat in the dark as to what to expect and thinking that the island isjust some kind of grandiose resort, they are taken aback when they discover whatreally awaits them. Let the games begin!

This is an exciting tale in which science and non-stop action combine in a way that will rivet the reader to the pages of this book. Well-written and suspenseful, it is a book that keeps the reader in its thrall.Those who like techno-thrillers will derive much enjoyment from this masterfully told tale, which manages to educate and entertain at the same time. ...

good information, well documented book and great photos
I agree with another reviewer that this is a very good and well documented book. It contains very well documented information about the beginnings of the creation of atomic bomb in the US and in the rest of the world. It is very interesting, concise and based on good sources. It is written very clearly - great book, especially for youth interested in the history of atomic and nuclear military industry.

Review
This book, while being appropriate for students interested in the subject matter, is excellently written and contains fascinating information appropriate for all ages.Having read it in sixth grade (don't worry, kids, I was really smart) it fueled my fascination with nuclear physics that led me to be a physics major in college. ...
