Education and Change
This book by educator Berenice
Bleedorn - Education is Everybody's Business: A Wake-Up Call to Advocates

of thinking - creative and critical - in education. It also links the
importance of education to a thriving democracy. An idea in the book - that
"democracy deserves the best thinking possible" - offers a great way
to begin thinking about any number of political issues in the
world today.
