Wow. Just the first essay in this book put me at ease in a way that I hadn't ever noticed I was tense. Then it got better. Bergman has a remarkable ability to describe respectfully the points of view ze doesn't agree with. It makes the whole book unusually nuanced, and sparks fascinating conversations.

Brilliant, nuanced, unusual. This is not a rehash of the same-ol politics. Styles vary widely in the degree of academic baffle-gab employed, but all contain unique ideas. Emi Koyama's thoughtful and self-reflective critique of domestic violence shelters is worth the price of admission.

A little-known story that gives lots of historical detail yet is highly readable. You'll never watch _The Right Stuff_ the same way again.

Mint-egers. Negative numbers compared to nasty-flavoured jelly beans. How pandas can help you remember the order of operations.

This is not an academic study of math anxiety, or a pedagogical text giving lengthy theoretical descriptions; this is an actual review book. Contains exercises and techniques that can help a student sharpen their math skills, and a teacher/tutor sharpen their teaching skills! Too bad about the relentless heterosexism, but if you can get past that, the book contains lots of concrete ideas that actually work.
