I see from your profile that you like some of the same books & movies that are my favorites, too! I love The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate . . . has she written anything since then? That was a great book--very intelligent, but also fun and well-paced. Another woman who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, come to think of it! :)Jen Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854097358781334519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537197995327351093.post-32697625163976958392012-03-16T12:31:59.140-07:002012-03-16T12:31:59.140-07:00Thanks, Mindy!

Grandin biography. I’ve heard her interviewed on NPR--she’s fascinating. Will have to get that biog. for summer reading.<br />And re: the Nature withdrawal: I just read that an astonishingly high percentage of very young kids are being diagnosed with nearsightedness because they’ve failed to develop the eye muscles that are normally used in outside play! (good grief . . .)<br />Let’s hope we can nudge the next generation away from the screen a little more often!<br />Thx again to you & to Margo for this great WH project.

It sometimes seems that, as a culture, as we advance technologically, we retreat in knowledge of the natural world. Your advice is excellent.
