books by Steven Levy     books:       The Unicorn's Secret10 reviews Steven Levy Onyx, 1990 Gripping, Informative, a Real Page-Turner This book is far more than a whodunit. It is a wonderful history of the politics and pop-culture of the 1960s and 1970s and it provides in-depth character analyses of all of the central players. This one really puts "The Age of Aquarius" in perspective! Was the Unicorn a murderer or framed by secret operatives? The revelations in the last chapters provided an unequivocal answer for me.             Starting from Scratch: One Classroom Builds Its Own Curriculum3 reviews Steven Levy Heinemann, 1996 So, Brian...use your frustration... The point of this book is how classrooms can, when teachers don't start from where the students are at ("Scratch"), leave kids disengaged, bored and frustrated. Use what he gives you to take urban kids into their lives. Okay, they are poor, maybe illiterate, possibly angry....but are they not also intelligent, curious and hungry?????
