<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In this book the author shares wisdom gained in almost fifty years of Montessori experience. It contains a compilation of stories from the author's own teaching experience, and information shared as a Montessori school consultant, guest lecturer on teacher-training courses, and at conferences and workshops in such places as New Zealand, Thailand, Morocco, Mongolia, Peru, Colombia, Albania, and the USA. Although the majority of the information is intended for the Montessori teacher of children from 2.5 to six years, there is also information of value to those working with infants, older children, and adults, and a detailed glossary of Montessori terms. The words "Cosmic Education" refer to the Montessori practice of introducing the whole world--science, arts, history, and geography--to young children through age-appropriate practical life lessons, sensorial experiences, experiments, and language. With this preparation at an early and impressionable age, children learn to love the world in all its aspects, and as they grow up will have the tools to make sense of the world and the cosmos and to find a place in it as valuable contributing members."--Publisher's description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>All of the primary Montessori class (age 3-6) lessons in physics, biology, history, geography, and the arts, are presented in this valuable book. This is also a reference book for parents and teachers wishing to balance their own general education in order to inspire their children's curiosity and knowledge about the world. Practical life, sensorial, and language lessons are repeated within each section so that the adult can focus on one area at a time. Although the main emphasis is on the child from age 3-6 years, there is also information on teaching these subjects in the infant community and the elementary class. The Montessori glossary is extensive and helpful and there are two articles, previously published in international Montessori journals, that help the reader fully understand the concept of "cosmic education," which is a method of connecting all aspects of culture, and life in its fullness, in preparation for the human being to find his or her own productive and enjoyable place in the whole.
