Luther's Amy Weldon releases a new book

Luther College Associate Professor of English Amy Weldon has released a new book, "The Hands-On Life: How to Wake Yourself Up and Save the World."

Released in late February, the book is available from major retailers, wipfandstock.com and the Luther College Book Shop.

Using anecdotes from her life, Weldon has written a book designed to wake readers from a technologically driven reverie, encouraging them to be critical thinkers in the present moment.

Indiana University professor emeritus of English Scott Russell Sanders writes that it's invigorating to read Weldon's "feisty, full-throated defense of the human capacity for learning…Readers who are seeking a right path through thickets of technology, money-worship and consumerism will find here a wise and appealing guide."
