However, upon further reflection, I had exhibited similar traits at a much younger age while hospitalized after tumbling onto my forehead from a moving pick-up truck in the middle of a busy intersection. It was as if that demeanor and approach to life was forever seared into my personality at that moment.

Catherine George was born in a village on the Welsh-English border, where the public library featured largely in her life. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have a great deal of respect for Sara Hantz for being courageous enough to tackle a subject that will no doubt cost her some readers because of their desire to avoid books dealing with bad things happening to children. As a society, we must not sweep this under the rug and, if we don’t bring it into the light as often as we can, this terrible behavior will continue to damage and destroy children everywhere. The blight of child abuse, pedophilia in particular, is a very tough one to read about and I suspect it’s just as tough for an author to write about but it’s a very important topic. In a life that’s spiraled out of control, Jed must decide if he chooses his own destiny with Summer by his side or if the violent urges that plagued his father are truly in the blood… ![]() But after Jed wakes up from a total blackout to discover a local kid has gone missing-a kid he was last seen talking to-he’s forced to face his greatest fear: that he could somehow be responsible.

Largely, we are failing at conceiving true closed-loop production cycles, in which the “waste” product becomes the quality, and unadulterated, feedstock for a new round of production. ![]() ![]() Our current design and production sequence is built on a cradle-to-grave (manufacture to disposal) cycle, with only moderate success at resource recovery and recycling, as has been well noted in recent media reports on the subject. The term is carefully chosen, and the authors routinely point out that our economy’s obsession with “efficient” rather than “effective” is a stumbling block toward achieving greater environmental sustainability and quality of life. McDonough, an architect, and Braungart, a chemist, are principally concerned with what they term “eco-effectiveness” – a conscious imitation of nature’s intricate and intelligent “design” features in our commercial, industrial, and residential habits, from the houses we build to the sneakers we wear. If you are looking for a single book to raise your awareness on the holistic shift that needs to take place in the way we make (and consume) things, Cradle to Cradle provides a solid education, despite its publication more than a decade ago. ![]() |
