The New Yorker Book of All New Cat Cartoons

Cats again? You can never have too many . . .

Drawn from the hundreds of cartoons published in The New Yorker in the seven years since The New Yorker Book of Cat Cartoons--as well as from fabulous older cats--this new collection is as hilarious and irresistible as the first.

The cartoons provide a cat's-eye view of the world and the important things in life: food, sleep, love and affection, adventure, food, good friends and doggy enemies, back rubs, and food. We see the essence of the feline world captured with verve, humor, and warmth by classic New Yorker artists such as Ed Koren, George Booth, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Lee Lorenz, Robert Mankoff, Mick Stevens, Danny Shanahan, and Bruce Eric Kaplan.

Purrfectly divine!

Making Sense: Teaching and Learning Mathematics with Understanding

The key to effective math learning lies not in the regurgitation of isolated facts but in the ablility to reason with and use what is learned - in understanding the concepts. But what does it mean to design a classroom so that understanding is the primary objective? What would a system of instruction look like if we took seriously the goal of helping all students understand mathematics?

In this ground-breaking book, James Hiebert and his colleagues arm teachers with the best current research-based ideas for designing - and defending - classrooms that support students' mathematical understanding. It is based on the authors' work in four separate research programs, all of which investigated the effects of specific instructional approaches. Out of their ongoing discussions emerged a striking consensus about what features are essential and what features are optional, which they share in this book. They also provide glimpses into their individual projects and into the classrooms from which they have drawn many of their ideas.

By describing the essential features of classrooms that support students' mathematical understanding and by offering pictures of several classrooms that exhibit these features, "Making Sense" provides a valuable framework within which elementary teachers can reflect on their own practice and think again about what it means to teach for understanding.

After Noah: Animals and the Liberation of Theology

A comprehensive study of Jewish and Christian teaching about animals, this text argues that the treatment of animals is not only a moral issue, but also a theological and spiritual one. The authors show how Jews and Christians have often failed to promote a compassionate and sensitive regard for animals. The text argues that the way we treat animals is a benchmark of the kind of society we are, and that in recognizing the true, and biblically based, value of animals, we liberate ourselves from the idolatry which is to be found at the heart of much contemporary spirituality. It is addressed to all people of faith who believe that, in devaluing animals, we ultimately devalue ourselves and our own souls.

If Aristotle Ran General Motors: The New Soul of Business

Taking his cue from such bestsellers as Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun, and Jesus CEO, Morris shows how spiritual crisis can be averted in our business lives by looking at the wisdom of the ancient philosophers. Aristotle's four transcendent virtues -- truth, beauty, goodness and unity -- must be present if real excellence is to flourish. Morris asserts that employees must be made to feel that there is an inherent goodness in the business being conducted if they are going to make their best contribution to the effort. If Aristotle Ran General Motors makes a compelling and persuasive case for a new spirit of openness and humanity in the workplace.
