"It is ahead of its time, and the momentum is clearly moving in the right direction. In a country that is now concerned about the failure of its public (and much of its private) education system, this book could be very influential.

I believe that the future of this country and western society depends upon public receipt of this message. Orr has exceptional vision." -- David Ehrenfeld, Rutgers University
