En 1907, Maria Montessori, l'une des premières femmes médecins d'Italie, ouvre une école d'un nouveau genre au service d'une vision inédite de l'enfant, envisagé comme une personne libre et épanouie, qui apprend spontanément. Sa méthode ? Une pédagogie qui respecte ce qu'est l'enfant, les étapes de son développement, ses exigences, ses besoins. Ce projet d'une éducation nouvelle, qui s'inscrit dans la promotion de la paix universelle et du progrès, repose sur trois piliers.

Revolutionary, philosopher, litterateur, and seer, Sri Aurobindo remains one of the brightest minds India has ever had. This book captures the evolution of his thought through excerpts from his political articles and speeches, essays, talks with and letters to disciples and public messages - presented chronologically.

One afternoon in the late 1970s, deep in the labyrinthine interior of a massive Gothic tower in New Haven, an unsuspecting employee of Yale University opened a long-locked room in the Payne Whitney Gymnasium and stumbled upon something shocking and disturbing.

After fighting a protracted legal battle, James Meredith broke the color barrier in 1962 as the first African American student at the University of Mississippi. The riot that followed his arrival on campus seriously wounded scores of U.S. marshals and killed two civilians; more casualties than any other clash of the civil rights era. To restore order, the Kennedy administration dispatched thousands of soldiers to Oxford. In The Price of Defiance, Charles Eagles shows that the stunning eruption of violence resulted from the "closed society's" long defiance of the civil rights movement and federal law.

Warriors of the Cloisters tells how key cultural innovations from Central Asia revolutionized medieval Europe and gave rise to the culture of science in the West.

Dave Richards, an alum of Yale, sheds some light on the lesser known stories of Yale's secret societies. He takes us through the history from Phi Beta Kappa in the American Revolution (originally a social and drinking society) through Skull and Bones and its rivals in the 19th and 20th centuries. While there have been articles and books on some of those societies, there has never been a scholarly history of the system as a whole.

Educafakes revisa buena parte de lo que nos han contado sobre la educación española y no se sostiene desde las investigaciones y la argumentación rigurosa. La educación refleja el modelo de individuo y sociedad al que aspiramos. Así, las cuestiones educativas se sitúan en el centro de la batalla cultural que caracteriza nuestro tiempo, pues se utilizan para preservar intereses y privilegios económicos, religiosos y partidistas.
