Price: $27.00

Seller ID: 15126

Binding: Softbound

What can account for the unprecedented popularity of Joanne K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books? Frans Lutters takes us through a journey of investigation, compassion and understanding by the end of the book. His insights tempt us to believe that Harry Potter is still alive in our world and that he accomplished a great deal in the archetypal battle between light and darkness, good and evil. Young people recognized this before grownups could decide whether they liked the books or not. Lutters uses his enormous understanding of classical literature to draw very fine analogies with other warrio...

This surprising book originated from a reported comment by Rudolf Steiner to the founder of the first Waldorf School, Emil Molt, in which Steiner indicated that Emil Molt had a karmic connection with Emperor Charlemagne, who founded the Holy Roman Empire in the ninth century. Charlemagne also had the remarkable initiative of founding schools in his empire in which teaching took place in the local vernacular - public schools, in many ways. He did this at a time when schools existed only in monasteries and all teaching was in Latin. It was unheard of to teach the commo...

Is the philosophy by which we choose to educate our children responsible, at least partially, for the attitudes and general tone of our societies? A recent Unicef report on wealthy countries ranked the United States and the United Kingdom at the bottom of a table that measured quality of life for young people across a wide range of headings, including poverty, health, drugs, friendships and happiness. Experts observed that the nations that performed best in the survey have created 'child-friendly' societies in which, for example, young people are not pressured to achieve academically until the...

Words of a Feather Verses for Recitaiton in Autumn

Publisher: Wynstones Press:

Seller ID: 15069

In this autumn collection of Brien Masters' sheaf of 'seasonal poems for recitation', we experience the Michaelic gestures for this colourful time of the year. As with the other volumes, the author draws the spoken word into a shrine of its own, presenting us with a chalice of rich and exciting glimpses into a world of forgotten pleasures. As always Brien is unable to resist including a touch of humour in his work, which one can discover alongside the sincerity of these poems.
To quote from Brien's own words in the Proem to the spring volume: 'speaking poetically expressive language... rol...

It came as a ringing endorsement of Brien Masters analysis of the situation when the Times Educational Suppliment (June 2005), reviewing his Adventures in Steiner Education, stated that his explanation of the rationale behind the Waldorf approach to literacy taught unhurriedly, with lots of stories and drawing, then writing leading to reading at about age seven ought to be placed on the desks of all those who are so concerned to hasten small children in to the mechanics of it all. In these collected essays, the theme of literacy takes its place alongside other Waldorf non-negotiables, among th...

Grammar Teaching Why What When How

By: MASTERS, BRIEN

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Wynstones Press:

Seller ID: 15064

It would be rare if a class teacher within a Waldorf school allotted the full, 28-day main-lesson rhythm to the teaching of grammar, in any one class in the Lower School. The 'family' of main-lessons each year, other than grammar of the mother tongue, clamours to claim the precious time available and is so colourfully attractive that, by comparison, it can make grammar appear like a so-called country cousin: manners a bit gauche, dress decidedly out of fashion and the spectrum of conversation rather limited. Looked at from Rudolf Steiner's standpoint of child development, however, that country...
