Review: impaginazione sbagliata - Ho letto diversi titoli dell'autrice, e mi sono sempre piaciuti. Ma quando oggi ho ricevuto la copia brossura di questo titolo, che delusione nello scoprire che la prima pagina... è la 75! Solo dopo pagina 122 trovo finalmente il frontespizio, l'indice, la prefazione, ecc. Questi disguidi segnano un punto a favore delle librerie tradizionali. I read and appreciate several Montessori books. I just received today this printed version, and how sad to find out it starts from... page 75! Only after page 122 I finally have contents, preface, etc. This kind of mistake score points in favour of traditional bookstores.
Review: Concentrated knowledge of children needs - A bit difficult writing style, heavy reading but massive knowledge as well. Maria Montessori was a pioneer in children education/raising/learning and nowadays science (brain development) is proving her right from every aspect. This is one of her late works, so you will find most of her thoughts in there, but in a way more holistic and generic. All her knowledge is derived from hands-on experience, so consider reading it slowly to grasp all meanings. Ok, Montessori is a bit difficult on working at home (try a good school for better support), but consider and implement some aspects of it and you will soon discover a new child. It is also more generalized, but I think that is the best way to master the genius behind the specific details of her educational system. Tons of books on the subject (many of them really good), but this is her own work and it is well worth reading material for every parent not only those interested in montessori. Try it...
