Box of Seeds: Getting Teachers and Students Outside For Science, Math, English Teachers This book was created to Get Teachers and Students Outside! - A Principal wanted to get his teachers out of the classroom - into nature to learn science, writing, discussion, discovery. The school converted a empty lot next to their school with paths, bushes, wetlands, rustic shade and winding pathways of discovery. Students and teachers grew plants, imported new trees and shrubs - mostly they got their hands dirty discovering and then applying that to science, math, English, writing. Students were soon learning outside. (This is one of my Favorite books!)

Me, Dennis Hooker, a non-carpenter, built 3 beautiful Rustic Homes for $10 a square foot - and a small chain saw. I share some steps and ideas that I used. (I consider this book a "Yes, You can!" - more than "How-to") Why? Three friends saw my creations, then built their own beautiful rustic homes.) Bonus: a log house built by a friend from trees just above the cabin. And a home I re-built and lived in - and a 46' wooden sailboat I restored. I continue to use rustic techniques - my main tool being the tiny old Stihl .013.

I did not invent the Steadfast Father Attitude- only the name. It's been around for centuries, but never needed more than now. I researched and discovered what it is that fathers do that works - and I share it with you now. We want often what we have SOMETIMES - those moments when the child is cooperating with the Steadfast Attitude Father. This Attitude grew out of Dennis' work all his professional life with troubled and troubling children and youth - including teaching child psychology at colleges and public schools - and being a school psychologist. His books have been used by over a million readers in schools and counseling centers across the country for over 35 years.
He wants to sit and visit at the kitchen table, and he can hardly wait to get on the road again." —From Chapter 1 Robert Kroetsch, one of Canada's most important writers, was a fierce regionalist with a porous yet resilient sense of "home." Although his criticism and fiction have received extensive attention, his poetry remains underexplored. This exuberantly polyvocal text, insightfully written by dennis cooley—who knew Kroetsch and worked with him for decades—seeks to correct that imbalance. The Home Place offers a dazzling, playful, and intellectually complex conversation drawing together personal recollections, Kroetsch's archival materials, and the international body of Kroetsch scholarship. For literary scholars and anyone who appreciates Canadian literature, The Home Place will represent the standard critical evaluation of Kroetsch's poetry for years to come.
