What the library had to offer this week.

Never seem to be able to leave the library without a book, so this week's selection includes:

Salman Khan - The One World School House, Education Reimagined

Founder of the Khan Academy that features online learning in order to allow anyone to access educational material and to free teachers from their traditional roles as lecturers.
----------

Mark Dery - I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts

This is a collection of what the author calls drive-by essays.  It caught my eye because the foreword was written by Bruce Sterling.
----------

David Wann - Simple Prosperity, Finding Real Wealth in a Sustainable Lifestyle

Always looking out for books on sustainability just to get a feel for where the field is going.  Wann is also the author of The New Normal: An Agenda for Responsible Living, which is a book I'll have to check for.



That's it for this week.
