'The overall purpose of human communication is - or should be - reconciliation. It should ultimately serve to lower or remove the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate us human beings, one from another...' Although we have developed the technology to make communication more efficent and to bring people closer together, we have failed to use it to build a true global community. Dr M. Scott Peck believes that if we are to prevent civilization destroying itself, we must urgently rebuild on all levels, local, national and international and that is the first step to spiritual survival. In this radical and challenging book, he describes how the communities work, how group action can be developed on the principles of tolerance and love, and how we can start to transform world society into a true community.

White Read Aloud honor artist Matthew Forsythe comes an “extraordinary” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book about a magical drum, an emerald forest, and the little frog who dares to make her own music.

Will Pokko hear her father’s voice when he calls her home? Pokko and the Drum is a story about art, persistence, and a family of frogs living in a mushroom.

This is a definitve book dealing with the life and scientific work of arguably the greatest American-born theoretical physicist of the 20th century. Feynman was irreverent and iconoclastic; he disdained authority and despised ceremony. Jagdish Mehra knew Richard Feynman personally for 30years. Feynman invited Mehra to spend three weeks with him shortly before his death to interview him and talk about his life , and encouraged Mehra to write this book about his life and scientific work. What has emerged is a truly authoritative account of Feynman's life and achievements.
