This clearly written and successful introduction offers a reliable guide for "beginners" in Montessori education. In their revised new edition, the authors clearly and incisively introduce the theoretical foundations by
* expertly presenting Maria Montessori's view of humanity,
* her discoveries and convictions in developmental and educational psychology.
A particular focus is placed on a comprehensive presentation of Montessori practice. Clear, comprehensive, yet to the point: fundamental knowledge for a successful entry into Montessori practice.
