"Dr. Montessori was par excellence the great interpreter of the child; and though she herself has passed on from the scene of her labours her work will still go on."--Westminster Cathedral ChronicleOne of the landmark books in the history of education--and one of the least expensive editions now available--this volume describes a new system for educating youngsters. Based on a radical concept of liberty for the pupil and highly formal training of separate sensory, motor, and mental capacities, the system enabled youngsters to master reading, writing, and arithmetic rapidly and substantially. Included are discussions of scientific pedagogy; discipline; the importance of proper diet, gymnastics, and manual labor; and many other topics. Unabridged reprint of the classic 1912 edition.
The Montessori Method (1912) is a work on pedagogy by Maria
Montessori. Originally written in her native Italian to describe
the work she carried out at the Casa dei Bambini in Rome, the book
was translated into English during a period of increasing
popularity for Montessori and her educational method in the United
States. By 1913, over 100 Montessori schools had been opened in the
United States, prompting the educator to travel to the country on a
lecture tour in December that year. Today, there are thousands of
schools and classrooms around the world dedicated to the use of her
method. "All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the
inner force. Thus a young student may become a great doctor if he
is spurred to his study by an interest which makes medicine his
real vocation. But if he works in the hope of an inheritance, or of
making a desirable marriage, or if indeed he is inspired by any
material advantage, he will never become a true master or a great
doctor, and the world will never make one step forward because of
his work." Through years of working with children as a physician
and educator, Maria Montessori developed a unique method of
scientific pedagogy emphasizing personal growth, individuality,
psychology, and hands-on experience. First at her Casa dei Bambini
and later at thousands of schools around the world, the Montessori
method changed education for countless students and teachers alike,
fostering understanding and respect without sacrificing the
structures needed for children to grow into successful, confident
adults. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Maria Montessori's The
Montessori Method is a classic of pedagogical literature reimagined
for modern readers.
"This book deserves careful reading, for the author's views are as
relevant (and revolutionary) now as when they were first
proposed."-New York Times Book Review
"Startling insights...she is an inspiring teacher . . .
educators of all persuasions will find her book alive with
ideas."-Library Journal

The Absorbent Mind was Maria Montessori's most in-depth work on her
educational theory, based on decades of scientific observation of
children. Her view on children and their absorbent minds was a
landmark departure from the educational model at the time. This
book helped start a revolution in education. Since this book first
appeared there have been both cognitive and neurological studies
that have confirmed what Maria Montessori knew decades ago.
