CAN YOU GET HOME AGAIN? In the epic poem the Odyssey by the ancient Greek poet Homer, Odysseus (aka Ulysses) heads home to Ithaca after the Trojan war. His journey takes ten years, through trials and tribulations. In 1961, Cornell student Steve Nelson leaves Ithaca to live among descendants of the Incas in the Peruvian Andes. They have survived for centuries as feudal serfs under harsh masters. Now they have a plan to win their freedom, but can they overcome the powerful interests opposing them? Meanwhile, the superpowers U.S. and U.S.S.R. are confronting each other in Berlin, in what could lead to nuclear war. Far from western civilization, Steve wonders whether he can ever get home again. He finds himself on a ten-year odyssey of trials and tribulations, triumph and loss, sex and drugs, love and murder, joy and sorrow, during the turbulent times of the ''60s. In this epic memoir Steve recounts his journey from the rugged Andes to The Velvet Underground... from Harvard Square to Surf City... from a Harvard Law student to a draft resister... from visions of social justice to the sounds of the ''60s, as manager of the legendary rock and blues club The Boston Tea Party. Along the way he encounters Martin Luther King, B.B. King, Ted Kennedy, Eric Clapton, civil rights martyr Mickey Schwerner, Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, Hillary Rodham, Lou Reed and other rockstars like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Sandy Denny, Van Morrison and Peter Wolf. Like a chameleon, his appearance changes as he moves from one social setting to another, until finally he must ask himself: who was I, who am I, who will I be? Only then can he get home.

First Do No Harm: Progressive Education in a Time of Existential Risk develops a comprehensive argument for the importance of progressive education in light of the world''s increasingly severe challenges. Current educational practices, particularly in the United States, instill conformity and compliance at a time when authority must be challenged, skepticism must thrive and our students must be imaginative, creative, empathic and passionately alive. Steve Nelson traces the origins of progressive education and cites the rich history and inarguable science behind progressive practices. He argues that a traditional or conventional approach to education has dominated as a matter of political expediency, not good practice, and he provides an unsparing critique of current policy and practice, particularly the excesses of contemporary education reform. Using anecdotes from his many years as an educational leader, he makes the case in an engaging, colorful and accessible style. In the final chapter, Nelson offers a Bill of Educational Rights, hoping teachers, parents and all citizens will demand a more joyful, constructive and loving education for the children in their care.
