The Long Haul: An Autobiography di Myles Horton

This was an incredibly moving story of persistence, foresight, and courage. I read this many years ago, soon after publication (early 1990's?),

We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on… di Myles Horton

Fascinating book where two rad old men talk about their rad old lives. Lots of cool stuff in here about how they think about education, social change, and living life. Totally fun, and seems like it'd be useful if you're at all interested in empowering the people around you and/or education or just how some very interesting people thought and lived their lives.

Reading this book kicked off a whole swarm of poorly-formed thoughts about how to live my life. I want to re-read this book in a few months- hopefully it will help those thoughts fall into place. If this plan works I'll come back and update to a 5.… (altro)

We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on… di Myles Horton

This book was an intriguing read that sometimes reinforced my philosophy on education and sometimes challenged it. Published in 1990, the ideas discussed are still very relevant to current events both in and outside the realm of education. I appreciated the cognitive dissonance.
