Books that get “under our skin”…
“We have all read books that trouble us, irritate us, yet stay with us for a long time after we turn the last page. Sometimes they ‘get under our skin’ and stay for a lifetime… In celebration of SKIN: the Arts and Ideas Festival in Pasadena, join Pasadena City College in recording these memorable books. The page is open…literature, art, the sciences, music, history or social perspectives. Share your experiences with the books that got ‘under your skin.’”

Head on over to Books that get “under our skin”… and write about a book that stuck with you.

City Comforts blog: Distance sometimes provides objectivity

Sucher’s City Comforts is one of my favorite community building books. It shows how to arrange city space to encourage neighborly community interaction.
