Here is what Midwest Book Review had to say about
this biook:
Will-Yam in the Land of Giants
William E. Steinman
Wesoomi Publishing
PO Box 656, Ortonville, MI 48462
Philosopher and abuse survivor William Steinman
shares his deepest concerns and calls readers to action in Will-Yam in the Land of Giants: Interrupting Child Abuse and Nurturing the Genius, a
discussion of the ills afflicting children today and what is needed to stop
the maltreatment and nurture children to their fullest potential. At times
emotional or sharp-tongued, Will-Yam in the Land of Giants stresses very real
social problems including a stifling educational system that focuses too
heavily on the kids most in trouble, child sexual abuse, exploitation, the greed
of athletic companies in dictating the futures of sports players too young to
make life-changing decisions, and much more. The testimony of Steinman's own
childhood experiences - mild compared to some yet so severely terrible they
left permanent scars on his life - drives home his call for reform. Some of
his prospective ideas may be controversial, such as completely eliminating
competitive sports and their accompanying elitism or big-company exploitation
from schools, and adopting a twelve-month school year as well as a
federal-only educational funding plan. Yet the very real need to improve
quality of life and opportunity for young people who cannot speak up or vote
for themselves is beyond dispute. Highly recommended.
