<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A stunningly original treasure of a book that reveals the single most powerful ingredient in any relationship, whether personal, professional, or in public life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In these many-layered and masterfully written portraits, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot reaches deep into human experience -- from the drama of birth to the solemn vigil before death -- to find the essence of respect. In her moving vision, relayed through powerfully told stories, respect is not the passive deference offered a superior but an active force that creates symmetry even in unequal relationships. The reader becomes an eyewitness to the remarkable empowering nature of respect, both given and received -- be it between doctor and patient, teacher and student, photographer and subject, and midwife and laboring mother. They will feel it in the reverent attention paid by a minister to the last moments of life, and in the Harvard Law School professor's lively curiosity about his student's extracurricular lives. Through the power of her narrative, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot ultimately makes the reader an intimate partner in her observations of respect linking these varied and intense relationships. A book to be savored and shared, <i>Respect</i> has the power to transform lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot</b> is Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and MacArthur genius award winner (A named chair was created in her honor). She is the author of <i>The Good High School</i> (Basic), <i>Balm in Gilead</i> (AWL and Penguin), and <i>I've Known Rivers</i> (AWL and Penguin). Each of these books, as well as <i>Respect</i>, uses a vivid technique of portraiture, for which she has become known both to scholars and devoted readers.
