I've been feeling a bit Tookish lately. I figure if we get enough of us to go, we can freep her at her own book discussion.....hehehe.

I signed up for this and the woman who is on the front page of the web site is apparently the one who originated the idea but not the teacher -- at least not of the class I signed up for. Here's the data they offer for the instructor.

Session Instructor(s):
Dana Paxson
Dana Paxson graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Design, majoring in painting and sculpture. His art work has appeared in shows and fairs in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Rochester, New York. Dana is also an established professional writer of science fiction and fantasy, with four published stories in the nationally-distributed magazine Science Fiction Age. He has been writing long and short fiction since 1992. His nonliterary professions are systems engineering, high-tech intellectual property analysis, and modern art. He practices as an artist when time permits, and teaches modern-art appreciation.

And here's the final lesson outline, for those wondering about the environmentalist issues:

LESSON 12
Tolkien's Legacy: Films, Paganism, and Environmentalism
The Hero with a Thousand Scripts
Nature Religions and Environmental Activism

However, the other lessons look promising. Here's the link to read the Lesson Outlines.
