"Uncommon Education" traces the evolution of Prescott College. In
this compelling work, Samuel Henrie and others reveal what led to
the inception of this special institution, the philosophy behind
it, and a rare curriculum that includes adventure education, social
and ecological justice fieldwork, and other hands-on and unique
educational opportunities.
"Sam Henrie has made an immense contribution to higher education
by chronicling this grand, ongoing adventure in learning. Prescott
College's hands-on, feet-in-the-field approach not only makes far
more sense than the cattle calls that pass for education at most
places, but its amazing resilience and resurrection is one of the
most hopeful stories for our times-a true tale of how good ideas
really can win if we never give up."
-Alan Weisman, Laureate Professor of Journalism, University of
Arizona, retired Professor of Writing at Prescott College, author
of "The World Without Us, Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the
World," and other works
