Live & Learn Perspectives on the Questing Spirit

The latest Chrysalis Reader wrestles with the question: What brings forth a questing spirit?This literary anthology looks inside the dynamic space where learning and teaching take place. A teacher learns a hidden truth from what becomes for him an absurdity -- the assigning of grades. A Midwestern community is forever changed by the courage of one student. Symbolic relationships between living and learning are evidenced in Virginia Woolf's neighborhood where a diary entry brings a writer's past into emotional focus. A writer learns how to give the perfect dinner party by dining in the summers with the John Dos Passos family.This collection of essays, short stories, poetry, and art suggests answers to some perennial questions: Which aspects of the learning process are universal, and which are individual? How do we foster lifelong learning? Why do we ask "Why"?Lawson, Carol is the author of 'Live & Learn Perspectives on the Questing Spirit' with ISBN 9780877852322 and ISBN 0877852324.
