Education, however, is about more than teaching children skills for earning a living and how to function in life. It is really a means of transmitting both a culture and a heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWilliam Irwin Thompson, one of today's most innovative interdisciplinary thinkers, talks about how to transform a cultural legacy in the course of transmitting it. His visionary approach takes education far beyond the bland, watered-down curricula so many students face today in public and private schools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThompson offers us a mind-rattling tour of our potential as human beings, from the Gilgamesh epic of 2000 B.C.E. to Disney, popular music, current politics and social crises, and beyond. He not only presents a far-reaching system of knowledge and teaching, but also suggests how we can stimulate the best and healthiest patterns of development in our children and teenagers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransforming History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e will enlighten today's educators and anyone concerned with improving our legacy and our children's place in it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForeword\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart One\u003c\/strong\u003e Cultural History and Complex Dynamical Systems \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart Two\u003c\/strong\u003e Transforming History \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppendix\u003c\/strong\u003e An Outline of the Curriculum \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eIndex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9667322\"\u003eWilliam Irwin Thompson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindisfarne Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584200697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584200693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU007000\"\u003eCurricula\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS035000\"\u003eStudy \u0026amp; Teaching\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-EDU\"\u003eEducation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-EDU029040\"\u003eTeaching | Subjects | Social Science\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lindisfarne Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42650514194669,"sku":"9781584200697","price":21.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_862819c7-169f-4101-a00f-c96e213bd9f3.jpg?v=1649201788","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/transforming-history-a-new-curriculum-for-a-planetary-culture-9781584200697","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
