Sherri Messersmith’s successful hardcover franchise is expanded with the new softcover P.O.W.E.R. series. The conversational writing style, practical applications, innovative student resources and student friendly walk through of examples that users of the hard cover books noted and appreciated are also found in the pages of Intermediate Algebra with P.O.W.E.R. Learning and the rest of the series. The P.O.W.E.R. FrameworkWhat makes P.O.W.E.R. a unique tool for the classroom? A major challenge in developmental courses is that students at this level struggle with basic study skills and habits. Maybe this is one of their first college courses or perhaps they are adults returning to school after a long absence. Either way, many of the individuals taking this course don’t know how to be good students. Instructors often don’t have the time, the resources or the expertise to teach success skills AND the math concepts. The new team of Messersmith, Perez and Feldman offer a scientifically based approach to meet this challenge. The P.O.W.E.R. Learning Framework was developed by successful author, psychologist, student success instructor and researcher, Bob Feldman. It is a method of accomplishing any task using five simple and consistent steps. Prepare. Organize. Work. Evaluate. Rethink. This framework is integrated at every level of the text to help students successfully learn math concepts while at the same time developing habits that will serve them well throughout their college careers and in their daily lives. The MathMaking Connections – Sherri Messersmith is recognized for preparing her students for success by refreshing their knowledge of arithmetic. By helping students see the connection between arithmetic and algebra, Sherri found that her students were more confident in their abilities as they progressed through the course. This classroom tested practice was integrated into the texts so that both instructors and students could benefit. Messersmith accomplishes this by including arithmetic examples for most sections before the use of algebraic examples. Also, the author has developed through classroom use a series of Basic Skills Worksheets that can easily be integrated into the classroom.Presenting Concepts in “Bite Size” Pieces – By breaking down the sections into manageable pieces, the author has identified the core places where students traditionally struggle and then assists them in understanding that material to be successful moving forward. For details on how the author has done this, check out the TOCs for Intro Algebra, PreAlgebra, Intermediate Algebra and the combo book PreAlgebra and Introductory Algebra.Mastering Concepts--With the textbook and Connect Math hosted by ALEKS, students can practice and master their understanding of algebraic concepts.Messersmith is rigorous enough to prepare students for the next level yet easy to read and understand. The exposition is written as if a professor is teaching in a lecture to be more accessible to students. The language is mathematically sound yet easy enough for students to understand.

In his collection of 15 poems all composed in this year, entitled Hineni ("Here I am"), Robert "Reuven" Feldman explores and celebrates both his Hebraic heritage while maintaining his lifelong poetic dedication to the Beat tradition of spontaneous "photographic image poetry." Ranging from his fascination with the spiritual side of Judaism and the Kabballah in poems like "the very best among us" and "and then I saw the angels (malach), Mr. Feldman transitions into a more contemporary "jazz mode" in poems like "Tel Aviv (a love poem?)", "so what conflict separates?", and "HaifaHolyLandBreakBreadHouse". Composed during his recent trip to Israel with his son, these last two poems, along with several others including his passionate homage to those 150 refugees who challenged British authorities and dared to defy the world in 1947/48 by establishing the Jewish State of Israel, "Orange and Bermuda Wine Passage", are filled with rich imagery, humor, and bop rhythm, while at the same time, conveying an unabashed sense of political and social acuity. And finally not to be overlooked, poems such as "Mr. Will and Mr. Way", "Leonardo da Vinci Airport" and "love's last dance", though slightly peripheral to the overall thematic sentiment of this collection, add to the poet's itinerary of literary colors absorbed along his "birthright" sojourn. Robert Feldman holds a MA in English, Linguistics, and Languages from the University of Arizona. He continues to work as a poet, musician (Indian tablas), and painter from his home in southern Florida.
