America in the United States and the United States in America is a unique study of the relation between the nation of the United States and the continent and dream of America. The result is a different way of looking at the history and present problems of the United States. The way we speak influences the way we think. America can be a valuable idea of what the United State has to strive for, namely, to be a place of liberty and justice for all. But the regular identification of the country with America leads to a cover up of the obvious problems within the United States and missteps in its foreign policy. ​2018

 The Act of Teaching: Reflections on a Basic Human Act    does not assume that teaching  occurs mainly  in schools. The book compares two philosophical traditions. In the first tradition teaching is done by one group of adults; the learners are usually children. In the second tradition, every human being and some nonhuman beings are teachers. In this case, teaching-learning is a single activity viewed from opposite ends. Most teaching is done by nonhumans, teaching by humans is mostly communal and nonverbal. To teach is to show someone how to do something. A variety of languages is used in teaching that correspond to the different forms of education. The book has numerous examples to show the rich possibilities of teaching-learning. 2020

Missed Opportunities: Rethinking Catholic Tradition is a study of the Roman Catholic Church and its struggle to reform during the last seventy-five years.  The book has something different to say about such topics as abortion,
homosexuality and euthanasia. But its main concern is what underlies all official teaching. Church doctrines are based on "revelation" and "natural law." Neither concept was part of the Christian Church's Jewish inheritance. Neither concept is well understood by most Roman Catholic today, including its bishops.
