Customer Reviews

Good, though a little old

This is a great resource, though it is starting to get a bit out of date. For example, it lists the Thacher Summer Science Program. That program has moved from Thacher School. It now has two campuses, one in Ojai, CA at a school a few miles from Thacher and the other in Socorro, NM. The contact information has also changed (see summerscience .org). It would be great to see a new edition of this book.
