Evan Rachel Wood is one of the most expressive (if not the most expressive) reader I have ever listened to on a book on CD.

![]() The information in the book, such as species identification and measurement units, is directed toward British readers. For example, monofloral honey is defined as “made by bees who visit just one kind of flower” with no acknowledgment of the fact that bees may range widely, and swarm activity is described as a springtime event, when it can also occur in summer and early fall. For example, as the bees travel, readers learn that “onion flowers are round and fluffy” and “fennel is a plant that is used in cooking.” Other facts are oversimplified and as a result are not accurate. There are some interesting facts throughout the book, but many pieces of trivia are too, well trivial, to prove useful. ![]() The information is scattered-much like the scout bees-and as a result, both the nominal plot and informational content are tissue-thin.

If I was able to talk in terms of good and evil (if those words hadn’t been forever sullied in justifying endless wars directed at the innocent and defenceless) then as good an example of evil from recent Australian history would Prime Minister John Howard’s refusal to allow parliament to apologise for the stolen generations. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are times - mostly when facts are imparted about zoos, business, or economics - that the narrative voice is not quite representative of a twelve-year-old boy. ![]() Stuart Gibbs’ employment history includes working at the Philadelphia Zoo so the novel is informed by life experience, and readers will learn much about the workings of a zoo.

Instead of focusing the attention of the teachers, parents, and kids on test scores, salaries, and competition, it might be better to instill in all of us a sense of purpose, mission, and pride in education. As we learned in our experiments, cash will take you only so far-social norms are the forces that can make a difference in the long run. I suspect that one answer lies in the realm of social norms. Would it be wise to add more money? The same consideration applies to testing: we are already testing very frequently, and more testing is unlikely to improve the quality of education. The United States already spends more money per student than any other Western society. “feeling so far is that standardized testing and performance-based salaries are likely to push education from social norms to market norms. ![]() ![]() This fusion of these two opposing political philosophies makes the tetralogy a work of political theory, and the subtle manner in which the plays promote this theory, makes the tetralogy a work of genius.
