Book Review
An ocean of plastic
Renée Meyer
Sat, Jan 6
Category:
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
The nightly national news usually ends with a feel-good story, one that often involves nature, often along the lines of “saving the wild.” One night it may be rhinos, another elephants. Pandas are always popular. Recently it was reported in the

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...
