Dr Montessori's Own Handbook - Enriched edition

Maria Montessori

Sinopse

Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook is a seminal work that encapsulates the innovative educational philosophies of Maria Montessori, emphasizing child-centered learning and the importance of fostering independence in young minds. Montessori employs a clear, accessible style that bridges theoretical concepts with practical applications, providing educators and parents with essential tools to implement her methods. The book situates itself within the early 20th-century educational reform movement, challenging traditional pedagogical practices and advocating for an environment where children can explore and learn at their own pace. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, developed her unique approach to education after years of meticulous observation of children in various contexts. Her experiences in working with underserved children and her subsequent training in psychiatry informed her belief in the intrinsic capabilities of all children. Montessori's background allowed her to create not merely a set of educational methods but a holistic philosophy that respects the innate developmental processes of children. Readers interested in progressive education, child psychology, or developmental pedagogy will find Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook an invaluable resource. Its insights into fostering autonomy and respect for the child's natural development provide timeless guidance for both parents and educators committed to nurturing the holistic growth of young learners.

Famous Lost Cities of Antiquity...

Editors Charles River

Throughout the millennia since the pharaohs ruled Egypt, peasants have routinely used remnants of ancient monuments for new housing structures, implements, and even fertilizer, and the situation is even more pronounced closer to the Mediterranean coast. Cities that once were major ports where the various branches of the Nile River flowed into the Mediterranean are now miles off the coastline, under hundreds of feet of water. The existence of these cities was known thanks to Egyptian and Greek historical sources, but their locations could never be positively identified until the advent of modern marine technology. In 1996, adventurer and scholar Franck Goddio identified what he believed was a major site just off the Mediterranean coastline in the Abu Qir Bay, east of Alexandria. It turned out Goddio had discovered the ancient city of Heracleion. 
If it were not for some very fortunate events and circumstances, the modern world might never have known about Mari. For a period of just under 100 years, the city of Mari in northern Mesopotamia-eastern Syria was one of the most, if not the most, important cities in the Near East. Founded by semi-nomadic Amorite tribes, Mari was gradually transformed over the span of centuries from a sleepy stop along the Euphrates River to the premier power in Near East during the early 2nd millennium BCE. 
Ubar continued to fascinate people around the world, and it seemed as though its secrets would remain hidden beneath the Arabian sands until the 1980s, when a photojournalist named Nicholas Clapp eventually turned his interest into a full-time endeavor to find Ubar and put together a team of adventurers and archaeologists. Working backwards from the few scant historical and geographical accounts that portray Ubar as a prosperous city or kingdom in the centuries before Islam, Clapp narrowed their search to a location on the edge of the Arabian Desert and it is there that they believed they found Ubar

The Life of Kings - The...

Frederic B Hill, Stephens Broening

In an age when local daily papers with formerly robust reporting are cutting sections and even closing their doors, the contributors to The Life of Kings celebrate the heyday of one such paper, the Baltimore Sun, when it set the agenda for Baltimore, was a force in Washington, and extended its reach around the globe. Contributors like David Simon, creator of HBO’s The Wire, and renowned political cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher (better known as KAL), tell what it was like to work in what may have been the last golden age of American newspapers -- when journalism still seemed like “the life of kings” that H.L. Mencken so cheerfully remembered. The writers in this volume recall the standards that made the Sun and other fine independent newspapers a bulwark of civic life for so long. Their contributions affirm that the core principles they followed are no less imperative for the new forms of journalism: a strong sense of the public interest in whose name they were acting, a reverence for accuracy, and an obligation

Nikola Tesla - History of His...

Kelly Mass

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American innovator, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who helped establish the contemporary rotating present (AC) electrical energy delivery system. 
Tesla, who was born and raised in the Austrian Empire, studied engineering and physics without getting a grade in the 1870s and acquired useful experience in the early 1880s operating in telephone and at Continental Edison in the nascent electrical power business. He relocated to the USA in the year 1884 and ended up being a naturalized person. Before setting out on his own, he worked for a brief time at the Edison Device Works in N.Y. City. Tesla developed labs and business in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical gadgets with the support of partners to fund and promote his ideas. His rotating present (AC) induction motor and associated polyphase AC developments were accredited by Westinghouse Electric in the year 1888 and were the foundation of the polyphase system that firm consequently advertised. 
Let’s learn more about this nutty professor, this obsessed genius who was way ahead of his time.
