The book was published in 2002 by Aha! Process Incorporated. It is 185 pages including bibliography. I imagine it has been successful since the thoughts are presented in a brief and easily remembered form.

It costs about $22 and it is worth it!

I’ve read it. Found it more useful to understand people with a lower SES than those better situated than myself.

He do?

Unheavenly City and The Unheavenly CIty Revisited.

Both very good books and they are peer reviewed.

You're welcome. I DID read to the end, becoming more and more interested as I went along. I found the academic "response" to the book to be pathetic, and illuminating in a way the writer did not intend.

The book deals with how people who are mired in poverty perceive the world around them, and communicate with each other and others. Having spent 23 years in education, I know exactly how poor schools in poor neighborhoods are short-changed (unless they are non-public schools). But THAT IS NOT THE SUBJECT OF THIS BOOK.

To quote my sainted Mother, about half of all the credentialed academics I've dealt with over the years "don't have the common sense that God meant for an animal cracker." Is that your experience, also?

Thanks for the follow-on post from a couple of weeks ago — think I will request these books from the library for further study.
