Publisher's Synopsis
Is there a "Blueprint" for the building of normal, sane, healthy, happy, intelligent, creative, decent, kind, successful, human beings? This book, written by two Montessori educators with over thirty years experience, claims there is. The book reveals, clearly and comprehensively, the "Blueprint," uncovered by Dr. Maria Montessori for the unfolding of human life. Filled with anecdotes and heartfelt true stories, this book takes the reader on a journey from birth to adulthood. It covers in great detail, the Early Years, Late Childhood and Cosmic Education, Adolescence and The Teenage Brain, Early Adulthood and the Function of the University, the Later Years and Montessori-Based Programmes for people living with dementia. It also looks to the future and discusses Montessori for a new generation. While this book is highly authoritative and informative, it is written in a conversational and engaging style. This book is essential reading for anyone genuinely interested in learning "how to build a human being."
