Review
“A fascinating book not only for curricularists but also for “liberal artists,” i.e., those teaching in the humanities. It celebrates a connectedness rarely seen between theory and practice.” ― Mary A. Doll, Holy Cross College, New Orleans
“This book demonstrates the great diversity of human experience and that within this diversity there is a clear, common orientation―education is not separate from life, and life is influenced by the arts.” ― Bernice J. Wolfson, University of Alabama, Birmingham
“The book is highly evocative. In reading it, I was led to track down a reproduction of Jackson Pollack’s The White Cockatoo, a copy of Wallace Stevens’ The Man with the Blue Guitar, a videotape of the Bolshoi Ballet dancing Spartacus, and even a compact disc of Mozart’s The Magic Flute from the local public library. In short, the essays are powerful. They whet the appetite and spur the reader to inquiries of her own.” ― Geneva D. Haertel, Independent Educational Consultant, Palo Alto, CA
