The Formation Of Man - Kalakshetra
Dr Montessori on the laws of growth and on an educational system built against the child rather than for them, first printed in 1955. This is the Kalakshetra printing, 137 pages, hard cover, 1991. The MPPC edition of the same book runs to 99 pages in soft cover, so the choice between them is binding and format rather than argument. Both carry the chapter on world illiteracy, which she treated as a problem of the same magnitude as the rest. Paper and cardboard.
