Book Review
Celebrant’s Flame: Daniel Berrigan in Memory and Reflection
Nancy Greenaway
Thu, Aug 19
Category:
Book Review
Daniel Berrigan changed people’s lives. He changed the life of Bill Wylie-Kellermann, author of “Celebrant’s Flame: Daniel Berrigan in Memory and Reflection” (2021). The two came to know each other first in 1972, when Wylie-Kellermann was a student of Dan’s at Union Seminary in New York. Their...

Book Review
New books are some of my favorite gifts, both to give and to receive. But sometimes they don’t get read immediately and end up in some pile, unread and forgotten. While searching around for something to read recently, I came upon one such book: “Plastic Ocean: How a Sea Captain’s Chance Discovery...

Book Review

Book review: Tracy Kidder’s “Mountains Beyond Mountains”
Renée Meyer
Mon, Dec 30
Category:
Book Review
Tracy Kidder is a “literary journalist” and through this genre takes the reader along trails of discovery in whatever subject he has chosen. Kidder’s first book was a flop. His second, “The Soul of a New Machine,” published in 1981, won a Pulitzer Prize. Although Kidder’s “Mountains Beyond...
A book every parent (and taxpayer) should read: “Reign of Error”
Fri, Nov 15
Category:
Book Review
With a title like “Reign of Error,” one might be expecting a spy novel or a history of some oppressive government. But the sub-title of this book is “The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America’s public Schools.” Who could imagine that a book about education in America could be...
