I certainly will not be buying this book, and can't help but wonder about anyone who would put his children through such horrific "enlightening" experiences.

For those who care about environmental issues and edumacating children,

(jameson, did you invent this word as a home-schooler parent, or just typo it - in another thread - anyway, it it is a wonderful word - edumacate),

maybe try the book, available at B&N, etc., "Earth From Above 366 Days" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, translated from the French by Simon Jones, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers., (no date given, except it seems to want to be a calendar book for 2004. Not cheap. The photos, one for each day, are extraordinary. And it is all about the effects that we people are having on the planet Earth and other stuff.
