This review is from: Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher’s Manual (Paperback)
This book was worth the purchase because of the leveled word lists for ALL subjects. Almost 8,000 for 11 subjects – that includes all the topics covered in Social Studies, noncore classes, all leveled by grade range.
It does refer to the accompanying Marzano work often and I found I needed to purchase both to receive the full amount of understanding I wanted on the subject.
You need this if you are wondering how to start a vocabulary program. You would be interested in the list if you already have a vocabulary program.

This review is from: Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher’s Manual (Paperback)
This book changed the way I teach vocabulary! I’ve tried for years to improve vocabulary instruction in my classroom, and using the strategies from this book is the first time I’ve observed real, solid and enjoyable vocabulary learning in my students! This book has everything you need “soup to nuts” to set up a vocabulary program in your room. The best part is, you can do in about 15 minutes per day! I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It’s an easy read. The vocabulary lists make up the bulk of the book. Reading the actual information in this book took me less than an hour! It is a tremendous resource I refer back to all the time!

This review is from: Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher’s Manual (Paperback)
I found some great advice on teaching vocabulary for my middle school social studies class. I especially liked the graphic organizer where students must write their own definition and draw a picture to illustrate the concept. I used it for some Ancient Civilization terms and my students quickly grasped the concepts I taught them.

This review is from: Manufacturing Material Effects: Rethinking Design and Making in Architecture (Paperback)
Materials and effects are age-old themes of architecture. Tectonics, joinery, and permanence are the key themes that resurface over and over again in the theory and practice of architecture. Now the grounds are fast shifting due to awesome new tools available for architects.
Digital parametric design and manufacturing process has freed “formal imagination” and “material imagination”. In this volume, use of materials and their aftermath effects are pushed to edge. Using both emergent materials and innovative application of conventional materials, desired dynamic and adaptive formal/surface/spatial effects are achieved.
Beginning with introductory essay by Prof. Kolarevic and Prof. Klinger,the book introduces case studies of multiple architects, researchers, and vendors. Key built projects by Herzog de Meuron, SHoP, Barkow Leibinger, SANAA, OMA, etc focus on the actual materiality and fabrication aspect. Experimental projects are as much provoking, if not more, as built projects.
This is a key publication (along with “Architecture in the Digital Age: Design and Manufacturing”, edited by Prof. Kolarevic) for those who seek cutting-edge architectural technology, innovative material application, and pioneering spatial effect-making.

I bought this book for my friend, now he recommends me to read it. He said ‘ You will never know what I’ve found in it!’, seems it really worth to have.

Best Enjoyed with Building Background Knowledge For Academic… by Robert J. Marzano,
It does refer to the accompanying Marzano work often and I found I needed to purchase both to receive the full amount of understanding I wanted on the subject.
You need this if you are wondering how to start a vocabulary program. You would be interested in the list if you already have a vocabulary program.

Another excellent book on Digi-architecture,

In this volume, use of materials and their aftermath
effects are pushed to edge. Using both emergent materials
and innovative application of conventional materials,
