Gerald and
Patricia Gutek have released
a new book! This is a parallel biography of figures in the
early US. Montessori movement.
From the marketing materials:
This book traces the early history of the Montessori movement
in the United States through the lives and careers of four key
American women: Anne George, Margaret Naumburg, Helen
Parkhurst, and Adelia Pyle. Caught up in the Montessori craze
sweeping the United States in the Progressive era, each played
a significant role in the initial transference of Montessori
education to America and its implementation from 1910 to 1920.
Despite the continuing international recognition of Maria
Montessori and the presence of Montessori schools world-wide,
Montessori receives only cursory mention in the history of
education, especially by recognized historians in the field
and in courses in professional education and teacher
preparation. The authors, in seeking to fill this historical
void, integrate institutional history with analysis of the
interplay and tensions between these four women to tell this
educational story in an interesting—and often
dramatic—way.

Stan Ivie
In the Shadow of the Trojan Horse is
a novel By Stanley D. Ivie. In the Shadow of the Trojan Horse
contains a Don Quixote type character whose personal fantasies
drive the story to its fateful conclusion. Like Don Quixote,
Mr. Z is chasing an impossible dream. Just as Don Quixote had
his Sancho Panza; so Mr. Z has his trusty sidekick, Nowell.
The two ante-heroes set out to destroy the modern
technological world by turning technology against itself,
fighting fire with fire. Mr. Z hatches a diabolical scheme for
taking control of the White House and of forcing the President
to capitulate to non-negotiable demands. How Mr. Z manages to
smuggle his Trojan Horse, a beautifully decorated but highly
explosive Christmas tree, into the White House, and how the
President’s three children manage to foil his plot, culminate
in an exciting ending.
