Education is currently a foremost concern for many Americans.
Education, however, is about more than teaching children skills for
earning a living and how to function in life. It is really a means
of transmitting both a culture and a heritage. William Irwin
Thompson, one of today's most innovative interdisciplinary
thinkers, talks about how to transform a cultural legacy in the
course of transmitting it. His visionary approach takes education
far beyond the bland, watered-down curricula so many students face
today in public and private schools. Thompson offers us a
mind-rattling tour of our potential as human beings, from the
Gilgamesh epic of 2000 B.C.E. to Disney, popular music, current
politics and social crises, and beyond. He not only presents a
far-reaching system of knowledge and teaching, but also suggests
how we can stimulate the best and healthiest patterns of
development in our children and teenagers. TRANSFORMING HISTORY
will enlighten today's educators and anyone concerned with
improving our legacy and our children's place in it.
