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.

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.
