George Lucas has a subject more near and dear to his heart than Star Wars: The George Lucas Educational Foundation. He believes schools could do much more for our children and our society, so he's gathered an all-star team to work on an educational reform tool, Learn & Live. This book and its accompanying video serve as an inspiration and a tremendous resource for teachers, principals, parents, politicians, and anyone interested in making schools more interesting and more effective. Funnyman Robin Williams hosts the video, adding his brand of slapstick humor to the proceedings--classrooms are shown in which project-based, hands-on teaching and learning is happening right now. The book states the platforms of the reformers, including Howard Gardner and Linda Darling-Hammond, and lists addresses and Web sites of hundreds of individuals and organizations ready to help you to remake our schools. --Brian Williamson
