"All Fairfax Reads" by Karen L. Kovechi, Chantilly Regional Library
All this week, I'll be posting a photo each day taken in the area where I live, Fairfax County, Virginia.
And, thanks to Cindy Lord ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
cynthialord , lots of other Live Journal friends will be doing the same. Check in with her for a list of participating bloggers.
Today's photo was taken at the library where I borrow all my books. Thanks to the Fairfax Library Foundation, there are unique sculptures displayed at various libraries, schools, and businesses, each designed by local artists. The project is called "Art in the Pages." To see a gallery of the other sculptures, click here. Thanks to Sara Lewis Holmes for the link!
I'm anxious to see everybody else's hometown pictures. What a great way to celebrate the birthday of the USA!

Richard L. Revesz is co-author, with Michael A. Livermore, of Retaking Rationality: How Cost-Benefit Analysis Can Better Protect the Environment and Our Health, which makes clear that by embracing and reforming cost-benefit analysis, and by joining reason and compassion, progressive groups can help enact strong environmental and public health regulation. Revesz is the Dean of New York University School of Law. In the article below Revesz responds to an article in the N.Y. Times Magazine.
