Choosing Excellence by John Merrow, Jonathan Kozol
The author, a journalist with 25 years experience as an education reporter, presents his assessment of schools in the United States. Working from the contention that most schools in the United States are merely good enough (that is schools that everyone wants to believe are okay--even, though, deep down, they know better ), the author advises parents and others on how to make a good enough school better. Topics addressed include standardized testing, teacher burnout, charter schools, and administrative bureaucracy. Also included are checklists to help adults evaluate schools by asking such questions as How serious is the school about art and music programs? and Are papers marked up with thoughtful comments?

The Large, the Smalll & the Human Mind by Abner Shimony, Malcolm S. Longair, Nancy Cartwright, Roger Penrose, Stephen W. Hawking
In this book, the author summarizes and brings up to date his current thinking in these complex areas. He presents a masterful summary of those areas of physics in which he feels there are major unsolved problems. Through this, he introduces radically new concepts which he believes will be fruitful in understanding the workings of the brain and the nature of the human mind. These ideas are then challenged by three distinguished experts from different backgrounds. Penrose responds to their thought-provoking criticisms.
