DESCRIPTION
In High Noon, J.F. Rischard challenges us to address the issues of the 21st century with a new approach to global problemsolving. Defining and then offering a brief overview of the 20 most important and urgent global problems, Rischard explains that in our increasingly crowded, fast-moving, interconnected world, we don’t have an effective way of addressing the problems that such a world creates. Rischard proposes new vehicles for global problem-solving. This book is the basis of NAIS’s new Challenge 20/20 program, where student-teacher teams from two schools in different countries pair up to solve one of the 20 problems Rischard explains.
