Seller's Description:
New. Hardcover New Ships From Canada New in new dust jacket Sewn binding Paper over boards 306 p Audience: General/trade From Kirkus Reviews: An exceptional blend of observation and reflection, literary report and personal revelation, that once again finds Coles (Psychiatry and Medical Humanities/Harvard; Anna Freud, 1992; etc ) exploring important social concepts--community service and the sources of altruism--with the tenacious moral energy that has characterized his writings for 30 years From the first, Coles clearly cherished his encounters with people whose conduct claimed his imagination: In book after book, he presented them with dignity and respect Here, he recalls the six-year-old integrating a southern school who sees ahead not trouble but opportunity; admires the white teacher who introduces Tillie Olsen's short story ``O Yes'' to a class of black middle-schoolers; learns from the Bowery bum who values not only the daily meal at his shelter but also the staff's acceptance of his angry.
