内容简介：
The "Schools" section contains a lifetime's worth of comment on educational systems and predicaments in which teachers and students can find themselves. Observations vary from introspective to the unapologetic caustic. "Lessons from Nature" will speak most pointedly to those already harboring an appreciation for and knowledge of the great out of doors. The "Odds and Ends" section is a collection of random thoughts on the world we all share and the human condition in general. The perspective is pure New England Yankee. Contents vary as to reading level but there should be found somewhere herein something for everyone.
