Gordon W. Greene, Jr.
Gordon W. Greene, Jr. is a tireless, optimistic and successful multi-tasker who is convinced that educational success is within every child's reach. This 224-page book is a study-skills and test-taking manual for high-school students, and a very fine one. Though adults may find some of the advice obvious (e.g. when preparing for a test, "think about potential exam questions"), it's a fact that many teen-agers are clueless in such matters. This is not a book for policy types but for parents to get for their children and, maybe, for teachers to urge upon their pupils. The ISBN is 0312866593, the publisher is Tom Doherty Associates, and you can get it from Amazon (see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312866593/qid=1039957922/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-8587963-4336142?v=glance&s=books) as well as the other usual sources. You may also be interested in Greene's earlier book, Getting Straight A's, which is intended primarily for college students.
