| 156327 | 2003-06-30 04:24:00 | i have been doing a search on the net on educational books, for school as in text book stuff. but am unsure as to what reference to look up. i am doing 0-5 early childhood, and would like to find names of books to source. text books such as development and lifespan materials and if i could hold of any books secondhand would be better. i have looked up bookstores, bookshops and books, psycology, and i have human development, and lifespan through the ages (or something like that) but i cannot find a list of these sort of books any where, such as recomended to read for education class's etc. does any one know of a good web / url or suggest a name of book or author along these lines? also would like books on all ages but mainly 0 - 5 years approx. health and development i know this is a long shot and not computer stuff but am going round in circles here looking for the needle in the haystack like. key words early childhood, books, education, psychology have tried. anybody? beetle |

You can limit the search with "site:edu" or "site:ac.uk" or "site:ac.nz" or "site:edu.au" for US, UK, NZ, or Australian universities. |

| 156332 | 2003-06-30 07:07:00 | If you are after second hand educational books, have you tried typing: second hand educational books "New Zealand" into Google? I did, and got 62900 hits . Maybe start from there . |

| 156333 | 2003-06-30 07:52:00 | um yes TW i had done that search but thought maybe other people could give me some ideas and a fresh perspective on search and that is exactly what has happened, thanks to all helpful hints and search tools qouted. with that many hits on the search you did, doesnt it make you think why i asked for help to try and narrow down my search field? thanxs beetle |

| 156334 | 2003-07-01 04:00:00 | The "number of hits" is a bit unhelpful. :D After the first 2 or 3 pages of links, they start to become "marginally relevant". | Graham L (2) | ||
