These wouldn't be textbooks, they would be more "popular science" that are educational and entertaining as well! Authors will include Richard Dawkins, Natalie Angier, E.O. Wilson, Carl Sagan, and Rachel Carson among others. There are many of these that have been on my "to-do" list for a long time. Of course other science teachers would be great for this gro …

People - personal stories, psychology, sociology, anthropology Places - geography, culture, urban planning Perspectives - how ot …

The Serious Jewish Book club has begun. Its general purpose is to read and discuss topics of Jewish interest with other thoughtful people. Its deeper purpose is to become more educated about a whole range of Jewish topics in the spirit of Socrates’ assertion that an unexamined life is not worth living. When we write “educated” we are not using this word to mean in its modern usage, trained or shaped. We rather hark back to its ancient etymology when it meant “to be led out of” as from the uncons …

This is a group for people to discuss the books they are reading and may read as little or as much as one may find the time to. Meetings can be held on Sundays in the afternoon.
