The form of the book is a reflection of the life from which it was drawn—here we have not a collection of well-written essays but the minutes of a committee meeting of one, worked and groomed to bring to my classroom. That is, amateur work. I would read the book to you myself if I could, but since that is not possible, I will make you a recommendation that is very close to a request. You know how it is when you get a letter from a friend far away and you open the envelope and start reading it and someone in the room says, "Read it out loud" and you read it and as you go along you comment on it aloud adding your own observations and your own explanations? So read it. Show and Tell. (FROM THE AUTHOR'S FOREWORD)
