Great text book for the preservice teacher

During my formal education, I had to read a lot of books on methods and classroom management. This text praticals covers all important topics and sums up the really important aspects of many concepts. Topics are discipline, preparing for the school year, working with parents, lesson planning, community of learners, motivation and challenging students. I am presently rereading this book in order to prepare for my job in the fall. It's a keeper!
