From: ELEANOR ZWEBNER <eleanorz541@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: article about the power of books A very interesting article from the NY Times about the power of books! It also quotes research that was published a few months ago about the comparative success of children from homes WITH books as opposed to homes WITHOUT books. THAT research seemed pretty obvious --this article talks about a different inquiry. It is also an interesting counterpoint to David Crystal's wonderful lecture at ETAI's opening session on the Myths of Internet. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/opinion/09brooks.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=power%20of%20books&st=cse And --it appeared in Monday's THE MARKER in Hebrew Eleanor ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
