About Author

John Caldwell Holt

JOHN HOLT, author, educator, lecturer, and amateur musician, has written nine books, including How Children Fail and How Children Learn. His work has been translated into fourteen languages. Recently he has become the leading advocate of home schooling and the editor as well as publisher of a magazine for home-schooling families, called Growing Without Schooling. Of his own educational background, John Holt has this to say: "I have come to believe that a person's schooling is as much a part of his private business as his politics or religion, and that no one should be required to answer questions about it. May I say instead that most of what I know I did not learn in school, or even in what most people would call 'learning situations.' "

The third installment in the Deathworld Trilogy, our hero takes his Light-o'-Love and all of the genetically-predisposed "survival experts" to conquer a new planet. The population of the Deathworld is now at loose ends and moribund, since the pacification of their deadly home world. The plot is based on the historical tale, (updated and fictionalized of course,) of the downfall of the Mongols and the Balkanization of their enormous empire after Temuchin's death, as (re-)told by the incomparable, inestimable Harry Harrison.

The fire next time

4.5 (34)

From Amazon.com: A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose," The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.
