Our WanderingEducators.com Artisan of the Month for August is a renaissance man that I have known for several years, A.W. Sprague II. A.W. is an artist, writer, and poet philosopher. I've known for years that A.W. is an incredible digital artist, but it wasn't until this year that I found out more about his paintings!
I am always looking for new books, especially travel books, to highlight on our site. Recently I found one that is critical to any traveler, regardless of location and destinations. It is a new book, entitled Disappearing Destinations: 37 Places in Peril and What Can Be Done to Help Save Them.
Conservation and preservation is a critical global goal, for all of us. One of the most important areas of this goal is in working with animals. I love sea turtles, and have always followed their progress, and taught our daughter all about them.

Always interested in new academic programs (especially those overseas), I recently sat down to talk with Dr. Janet F. Alperstein, Director, Office of Academic Affairs, Rothberg International School, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Located in Jerusalem, the Rothberg International School has a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs, and has been providing global education to students from all over the world for over 50 years! We'll profile some of the Rothberg International School's academic programs over the next few days - they are extraordinary!
We have a 6-year old daughter, and she just loves to cook. I am always on the lookout for excellent kids cookbooks - ones that teach, besides having quality recipes. Too often, kids cookbooks contain recipes for food that just isn't healthy - promoting blue frosting, or coloring your macaroni and cheese red. YIKES!
From this date, I will be writing a monthly personal essay in this blog. I intend to base every single piece on a fresh experience.
