The Formation of Man
The Spanish edition of The Formation Of Man, and the first thing to know is that the text is in Spanish: 151 pages, soft cover, 2013. Dr Montessori argues that the child has a natural drive to grow and complete itself, so educating means guiding that development and the environment around it, not directing it. The same book is in the catalogue in two English printings, at 99 and 137 pages, and those are separate items. Paper and cardstock.
