Kathleen Dean Moore

Milkweed Editions, 2005

Excellent!
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting the author, Kathleen Dean Moore, and listening to her read a (too) brief selection of pieces from The Pine Island Paradox, her latest collection of essays. I was so moved by her approach to her work (she is co-founder and Director of The Spring Creek Project, devoted to expanding the connections between the environment, philosophy, and words) and her writing ...

Parenting by Heart: How to Stay Connected to Your Child in a Disconnected World

1 review
Ron Taffel, Melinda Blau, ..., 2001

A bag of answers to common parenting questions

The material does not feel "groundbreaking", perhaps because it is not based on any latest research, but rather on the author's many years of family and child practice. And ...

This book, written by a computer scientist, doesn't dismiss the importance of technology by any means -- but Wresch shows that there's a lot more to information and participation than having a radio or a modem. The difference between the affluent and the poor lies in the kinds of ...
