Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Wildflowers is both one man's journey into the joys and sorrows of leading a large urban school district in the 21st century, and a gripping, highly informative guide to transforming America's public schools. Every child, Jonathan Raymond believes, is as exceptional and unique as a wildflower, able to adapt and grow even in the face of adverse conditions. As Superintendent of a district beset by budget cuts and neglect, Raymond spearheaded innovative, radical changes that raised test scores and graduation rates, and made failing schools succeed.Whether you are a parent, educator, policy maker, or concerned taxpayer, your assumptions about public education will melt away as Raymond sets aside ideology to focus on the nonpartisan, evidence-based promise of Whole Child education. This child-centered approach, which once made American public schools a source of national pride, was later abandoned by policymakers with no understanding of how children really learn. Raymond's brave stand against top-down bureaucracy and teaching to the test led to controversy and even law suits. Driven by his unwavering commitment to children, families, and local communities, he rallied students, parents and teachers, pushing the boundaries to make real change happen. His story is a model for what true leadership in education looks like.Raymond's riveting first-person account of how to reignite the potential of our youth - regardless of where they live or how much money their parents make - gives every American the tools, insights, and inspiration to get involved and take a stand on an issue critical to our country's future.All proceeds from the sale of Wildflowers will be donated to advance Whole Child education.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Always absorbing, often very funny, and surprisingly affecting, Wrestling with Gravy is a rich and wry memoir, seasoned with the zest of cooking, family, conversation-and lounging around in tryptophanic stupors. With droll self-effacement and a sharp eye for detail, former New York Times food columnist Jonathan Reynolds shares wonderful characters and anecdotes: He relives the time that his father made a move on his girlfriend during a meal at Maxim's in Paris; extols the surprising virtues of baseball stadium cuisine (except in New York); and recounts how he once whipped up a seductive meal for a woman, only to have her excuse herself after dessert because she had another date lined up. Even on a glum Christmas day in New York City, and at the deathbed of his dear cousin the actress Lee Remick, food offers solace and a cathartic sense of home. Like a truly great meal, Wrestling with Gravy will entertain and satisfy any reader's appetite. Praise for Wrestling with Gravy Reynolds writes about his rambunctious life with wit and gusto.-Entertainment Weekly An ingenious, multifaceted memoir, full of food and fury. It's hilarious, tender, poignant, and tart-as nourishing as it is entertaining.-John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Picaresque . . . Reynolds is at his best when purposefully entangling libido and linguine. . . . He's expert at the confessional.-The New York Times Book Review Fun-and intimate . . . Big-name kitchens and celebrities . . . make appearances, and their recipes do, too.-The Washington Post Book World Reynolds tells the tale as well as sharing the recipe. Even if we don't actually make his pissaladi re au confit de canard or the simpler sea urchin ceviche, to read through the intricate steps in these preparations reminds readers of the drama and delight of great eating.-Publishers Weekly Consistently entertaining.-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.…
