For any involved in adult education, as well as those interested in education through social movement, this book provides rich descriptions of the ideology, context, and philosophy of creating learning communities through collectivism. Frank Adams is particularly successful at painting a vivid picture of the sociopolitical atmosphere under which Horton created Highlander, describing the successes and failures that were realized over the years, as well as the organic evolution of the school as it responded to the changing needs of its students.

Book excerpt: In the spring of 1989, the world watched breathlessly as the pro-democracy movement swept across China, and it recoiled in horror as the Communist regime sent troops and tanks to crush the unarmed protesters in Tiananmen Square. In uniting China's students, workers, and intellectuals in nonviolent protest, the pro-democracy movement became the most vivid manifestation of the long-simmering ferment beneath the official surface of Chinese society. During the past decade, a generation of strong-willed writers and artists has arisen in China, determined to gain intellectual and political freedom despite the rigidities of traditional Chinese culture and the repression of the ruling gerontocracy. Seeds of Fire provides a critical selection of the original works of these controversial writers and artists whose ideas inspired the events of 1989. It is a powerful, and moving, glimpse into the politics and the conscience of a still-volatile Chinese society.'This is the single volume that every English reader who is interested in China should read.' - Stephen Shwartz, San Francisco Chronicle'An angry and impassioned anthology which covers, better than any earlier collections, the whole range of dissident Chinese voices. Here are poets and visual artists, essayists and cartoonists, rock lyricists and novelists, all fighting for room to express themselves. All those interested in modern China should reflect on these frustrated voices.' - Jonathan Spence'Seeds of Fire fills a yawning gap; it thrusts a candle of illumination into the dark shadow of ignorance that has long cast itself over the world's most populous country.' - Richard Bernstein, The New York Times'These selections from dissident works are not mere protests but artistic fiction, honest reporting, and efforts at original thinking - writing that is rewarding reading.' - The New Yorker

Book excerpt: Autumn Bradley used the magic in her hands to save Ursula Columbine from the darkness that hunts for her. But the ordeal of her rescue has left Ursula's mind blank and her powers dimmed. Autumn only knows that it is up to her to hide the defenseless Ursula. Darkness has spilled into Kelly Dove's life. She will use all her strength, no matter the cost to anyone, for what her dreams seem to promise: Ursula hers again. Taylor St. Claire risked faith and spirit to save Ursula but failed. No longer cleric, no longer priestess, Taylor's bitterness threatens to consume her completely. From the ancient music that haunts them all comes a clue in the search for Ursula, and Kelly seems only too eager to help. But the face of Ursula's captor is not the woman Taylor expects. The second volume of the Tunnel of Light trilogy continues the explosive journey of passion, heartbreak and triumph.
