***This book was interesting. Amazingly pertienant dispite the technological advances since it's publication (1992). Some of the themes which caught my attention were: science as another "religion" (not exactly Postman's words), the "solution" of education, and what is lost when technology is gained.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"whenever we need a revolution, we get a new curriculum" - Lawrence Cremin pg. 185
"Take the great narratives of religion seriously and do not beliece that science is the only system of thought capable of producing truth." pg. 184
