America has a huge problem. It faces four major challenges, on which its future depends, and it is failing to meet them. In this book the authors analyze those challenges, globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nations chronic deficits, and its pattern of energy consumption, and spell out what needs to be done now to rediscover Americas power and prowess. They explain how the end of the cold war blinded the nation to the need to address these issues seriously. They show how Americas history, when properly understood, provides the key to coping successfully and explain how the paralysis of the U.S. political system and the erosion of key American values have made it impossible to carry out the policies the country needs. This work is both a searching exploration of the American condition today and a rousing manifesto for American renewal. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=685335 Children are no strangers to cruelty and courage, to love and to loss, and in this unique book, teacher and educational consultant Marietta McCarty reveals that they are, in fact, natural philosophers.
