Comments:
"The
Private Eye is a wonderful contribution to literacy, poetry,
and ecological awareness."
— Robert Hass, former U.S.
Poet Laureate
"The pattern-recognition skills embedded in The
Private Eye are central to learning systems thinking. When children
(and adults) apply the lessons of The Private Eye to their own contexts,
they can improve their higher-order thinking and become more ecologically
aware —
a valuable approach to enhancing ecoliteracy in the classroom and
beyond.”
— Fritjof Capra, Ph.D., physicist
and systems theorist; founding director of the Center for Ecoliteracy
in Berkeley, CA; author of The Tao of Physics, The
Turning Point, and The Web of Life
