Title: An AWAIR Pick!!!
Review: The Dermis Probe is a study of impediments that block high forms of understanding between people. The space-age sounding title was suggested over 800 years ago by "The Tale of Three Blind Men" who tried to describe an elephant by touching different parts of him. The tale was immortalized in Rumi's "Mathnawi". Here then are more than a hundred tales or ponderables (most as short as one page), each with a reference to Hadith (saying of the Prophet Muhammad), or Muslim sage, or oft-quoted proverb.Teachers/Librarians: wonderful resource for 5th to adult - Social Studies/Language Arts, where Islamic civilization is covered. . . or just when some fun is required! Will delight and challenge our upper elementary and middle school students in ways they may not be access Qur'anic text, or Rumi poetry, or the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
