Summary

Famous Educators explores the profound impact of influential teachers and thinkers on education. The book delves into their lives, educational philosophy, and pedagogical innovation, revealing how these pioneers shaped modern teaching methods and academic disciplines. Readers will discover that the evolution of educational thought is not linear but influenced by complex social, political, and cultural forces. For instance, the book examines how educators like Maria Montessori revolutionized early childhood education with her child-centered approach, and how John Dewey advocated for experiential learning, fundamentally changing curriculum development.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with foundational concepts in educational philosophy and progresses to biographical narratives of selected educators. It concludes with an analysis of their lasting legacy on educational policy and teaching practices. By exploring figures like Paulo Freire and others, the book highlights diverse approaches and common threads in education. Famous Educators offers a balanced and objective view, making it valuable for students, teachers, and anyone interested in the history of education and its ongoing debates about educational reform.

It was first published in English and French in the United States by Reynal & Hitchcock in April 1943 and was published posthumously in France following liberation; Saint-Exupéry's works had been banned by the Vichy Regime. The story follows a young prince who visits various planets in space, including Earth, and addresses themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its style as a children's book, The Little Prince makes observations about life, adults and human nature.

    Against Technoableism -...

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
     
     
     
    In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
     
     
     
    This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

    Alchemy is one of the world's most ancient practices of unification with spirit, God, Goddess, or whatever term you wish to assign to a greater consciousness. 
    In this work, which comprises a series of lectures delivered in the early 2000's, Maja D'Aoust takes us on a journey to explore the history of what Alchemy is in different cultures, timelines and creative practices, to shed some light on this often misunderstood spiritual technique.  Delving into Taoism, Kabbalah, European sources such as Paracelsus, and examining the science behind the implications of making homunculi and Golems, this volume is a thorough, scholarly researched, deep dive into one of the most esoteric subjects a seeker can come across.  With references and quotes by some of the greatest historical multicultural authors in the field, you won't want to miss this enlightening journey into understanding the Alchemical wisdom traditions.

    The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity - Read by the amazing Owen Hunt @bootsygreenwood Now in Audio, on Audible and everywhere else! 
    Of all of his works, The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity is the one that Steiner himself believed would have the longest life, and the greatest spiritual and cultural consequences. It was written as a phenomenological account of the results of observing the human soul, according to the methods of natural science. 
    This seminal work asserts that free spiritual activity (understood as the human ability to think and act independently of physical nature) is the suitable path for human beings today, to gain true knowledge of themselves and of the universe. This is not merely a philosophical volume, but rather a warm, heart-oriented guide to the practice and experience of living thinking. 
    Listeners will not find abstract philosophy here, but a step-by-step account of how a person may come to experience living, intuitive thinking - "the conscious experience of a purely spiritual content".
