Teaching Fools

<p>On the surface <em>Teaching Fools</em> is about carpentry design and artistry but it's also about the complex human condition. Written with a sense of humor Dyer's book tells the story of building his cabin on Lake Superior's South Shore and the myriad of characters that make that happen. At the center of the storm stands Howard Bowers. Howard is both a political lefty and a redneck prone to political incorrectness. Though he does not suffer fools kindly he is also incredibly generous with his time inviting others into his projects and selflessly teaching the skills he's acquired over his 50+ year career.</p><p><br></p><p>Dyer's cabin would be Howard's final outdoor project. A capstone project that only Howard could complete. Neither Socrates nor Howard would ever admit to being one but as Dyer's book will show the best teaching is the kind that doesn't profess; and it's the inductive stuff that binds everything in the book together.</p><p><br></p><p>Teaching fools.</p>
