Sinopse

Early Teaching Methods explores the history of education by examining pre-modern pedagogy, revealing how teaching was conducted for centuries before modern educational theories took hold. This historical textbook argues that these often-dismissed archaic methods actually contain valuable insights into learning and motivation, challenging the assumption that modern methods are superior. For example, learning was deeply intertwined with community values and religious beliefs, a stark contrast to today's standardized curricula. The book highlights the importance of understanding this history for evaluating current educational strategies.

 
The book begins by introducing the dominant educational philosophies of ancient civilizations, the medieval era, and the Renaissance. It then delves into specific techniques like rote learning and memorization techniques, the role of discipline and reward, and the prevalence of individualized instruction. By drawing upon primary sources, archaeological evidence, and historical analyses, Early Teaching Methods offers a unique perspective on the evolution of teaching and learning, valuable for educators, historians, and anyone seeking alternative approaches to education.

Inside the Britannic -...

Simon Mills

The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
 
 
 
Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
 
 
 
The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.
