It is. It's been a while since I read it though.

How fast can you read? Because my brother wants to borrow it at Christmas, but I can bring it over tomorow.

He writes a lot on education and on child safety. You will like it! I read it pretty much in one sitting at the cottage this summer (got it from my public library). His blog is good too.

My husband actually had to read it as required text for an "Environmental Economics" course in his grad program, believe it or not. He shared a lot of it with me, and I plan to read the whole thing for myself soon. It's definitely fun, though he makes a lot of facile connections too-- you'll do well with it because you can see it critically.
