General Interest

Gerald Durrell

Mr. Durrell's most famous books are not 'homeschooling' books but rather the 'best-seller-ized' reminiscences of Mr. Durrell's unschoolish childhood on the Greek island of Corfu before WWII.  In England, before the war, the headmaster of his school thought Mr. Durrell was stupid.  Despite this early academic failure, he went on to found what is now the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, a breeding zoo for endangered animals.

Heroes at Home was described by an amazon.com reviewer as "Crisis Management 101."  The reviewer, a Guard family member, also recommended the book for Reserve and Guard family members who "have NO CLUE what to expect from life during a military deployment"
