 | That's Life:
What's life made of? Life is made of equal parts hope, despair, humor, sadness, joy, anger, courage, fear, love, jealousy, responsibility, fun, self-reflection, self-expression, sharing, caring, contentment, and yearning (although not necessarily in that order). And while it might seem that we humans are alone in this range of emotions, the engaging and humorous wildlife images in this book prove otherwise. That's Life pairs famous quotations-some funny, some inspiring, but all insightful-with delightful, interesting color photos of wild animals who seemingly express all of the crazy human sentiments that make up our lives.

 | The Chicago Handbook for Teachers by Alan Brinkley
Unlike their counterparts on the high school or elementary school level, those who teach college students have extensive training in their various disciplines, but surprisingly little instruction in the craft of teaching itself. The Chicago Handbook for Teachers is an extraordinarily helpful guide for all those who face the challenge of putting together material for a course and then making it work. Representing teachers at all stages of their careers, the authors, including distinguished historian Alan Brinkley, offer practical advice for almost any situation a new teacher might face, from preparing a syllabus to managing classroom dynamics. Beginning with a nuts and bolts plan for designing a course, the handbook also explains how to lead a discussion, evaluate your own teaching, deliver an effective lecture, supervise students' writing and research, create and grade exams, and more. Other sections address the less straightforward aspects of teaching, such as dealing with diversity issues and knowing where to draw the line in relationships with students. Particularly timely is an up-to-date discussion of when and how best to incorporate the Internet and other electronic resources into your teaching. Indispensable for graduate students and new teachers, The Chicago Handbook for Teachers is also a useful refresher for experienced professionals. AUTHOR: Alan Brinkley
