    Sorry, but I’m unfamiliar with the first and third authors (the second is F. Scott and the fourth is Ernest). Anyway, do they really make textbook audiobooks?

    My daughters were given a Book and DVD on Algebra, which is funny because they’re only in the 3rd and 5th grades. The guy who gave it to them knew they would like it…and they do! The first time my younger daughter showed some of her Algebra work to her teacher, you can bet I heard about it.

    What’s an audio tape? Oh, wait — I remember those. You will find the geometry audio tapes over by the tapes on painting and sculpture. Check the garage sales. :D

    Another victim of Roger Fox genes. Makes you wonder how Jason ended up so good at school.

    I think a key issue here is that some concepts are best communicated visually, like geometry.

    Graham Greene is a wonderful writer with a somewhat pessimistic view of human nature and history.

    FYI has never been a “Communist country” though after the Mexican Revolution (1914-1920),the new government certainly had many policies and practices that you might call “socialist”, something necessary in a country with so much poverty and great differences between the haves and have-nots. One of these policies was an anti-clericalism that targeted the Catholic Church, partly because the Church hierarchy had supported the government of Porfirio Diaz, the dictatorship whose abuses precipitated the outbreak of the 1914 Revolution. The Power and the Glory is a powerful novel that tells the story from the point-of-view of one local parish priest.
