Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a set of educational methods and principles that the author believes can transform the state of education, and re-establish a system based on freedom of work and self-development. In the author's view, this approach is not revolutionary but, rather, a return to the original vision of education put forth by Froebel. The book digs into Froebel's methods and principles, which were heavily influenced by concepts of developmental psychology from the time period. It also discusses the historical context in which Froebel was writing, and how his writings and methods were distorted over time to become a simple system of control. The author examines the depth of Froebel's original writings, which included a level of awareness and consideration of nature and the environment that has been lost in more contemporary takes on his work. Through a journey back to the essence of Freobel's educational philosophy, the author crafts a vision of education that they believe can lead to a new foundation for modern education.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the ways that the Protestant Reformation in Scotland reshaped society and culture. Before the Reformation, the Scottish church was wealthy but riddled with corruption and false teachings. Many of the clergy were ignorant, depraved, and oppressive, and the masses were spiritually neglected. The author argues that this state of affairs urgently needed reform. The arrival of the Reformation in Scotland led to the purging of the church and the creation of a new society based on faith, virtue, and education. Scottish reformers, heavily influenced by John Knox, were at the forefront of religious, intellectual and even cultural revolutions in Europe. They believed that all people, regardless of their station in life, were entitled to hear and understand the word of God in their own language. They also believed that education was essential for both spiritual and material progress. To this end, the reformers established schools and universities throughout Scotland and encouraged the education of both boys and girls. As a result, Scotland became one of the most literate countries in Europe. The Reformation also had a profound impact on Scottish culture. The reformers rejected the elaborate rituals and ceremonies of the pre-Reformation church and encouraged a simpler, more austere form of worship. This book also explores some popular misconceptions, such as the idea that the Reformation led to the destruction of priceless works of art. The author points out that much of the damage to religious buildings and artworks was caused by English invasions and that the reformers actually saved many churches from decay. Ultimately, the Reformation in Scotland was a transformative event that had a lasting impact on the nation's religious, social, cultural, and political life.
