The timeless Wisdom from King Alfred's Middle Earth, introduces the reader to one of England's Dark Age Heroes, and to his "recommended reading list." Fearless in battle and magnanimous in victory, King Alfred The Great (849- 899 AD) ruled his Kingdom of Wessex, the last Anglo-Saxon kingdom to remain independent after all other kingdoms were conquered by the pagan Viking Danes, during the turbulent and perilous 9th century. After the defeat of the fierce pagan Danes at the Battle of Edington in 878, Alfred, guided by the Bible, his witan, and the wisdom he found in his chosen books, instituted the civil, military, and legal reforms that enabled his grandson Athelstan to finally consolidate the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms into a united England. The reader may find it of interest to know that Alfred referred to Wessex as dwelling in middle earth, the Anglo-Saxon word for this earthly world of mankind. During the American War of Independence, the Founding Fathers held Alfred in such high esteem that the Continental Congress of 1775 christened the first Flagship of their newly-formed Navy, Alfred. The wisdom of King Alfred and the brilliant luminaries who authored these books to know; Paulus Orosius (c. 385-420 AD), Roman Senator Boethius (c. 480- 524 AD), Venerable Bede (c. 672- 735 AD), and Gregory the Great (540- 604 AD), contributed immeasurably to the development of Wessex, England, and Western civilization. In this book the editors attempt to demonstrate how this timeless wisdom has endured through the ages, and can still serve to inspire and guide us today.

Is there a "Blueprint" for the building of normal, sane, healthy, happy, intelligent, creative, decent, kind, successful, human beings? This book, written by two Montessori educators with over thirty years experience, claims there is. The book reveals, clearly and comprehensively, the "Blueprint", uncovered by Dr. Maria Montessori for the unfolding of human life. Filled with anecdotes and heartfelt true stories, this book takes the reader on a journey from birth to adulthood. It covers in great detail, the Early Years, Late Childhood and Cosmic Education, Adolescence and The Teenage Brain, Early Adulthood and the Function of the University, the Later Years and Montessori-Based Programmes for people living with dementia. It also looks to the future and discusses Montessori for a new generation. While this book is highly authoritative and informative, it is written in a conversational and engaging style. This book is essential reading for anyone genuinely interested in learning "how to build a human being".
Many years ago, Dr. Maria Montessori began to suspect that traumatic experiences in childhood could damage the very structure and physiology of the developing brain, causing serious cognitive, emotional and social dysfunction in children. Although she did not have the medical technology to prove this, as present day neurologists have, her meticulous observations showed her that trauma causes "defects" in the child which "may be permanent". As a result, she devoted her life to the creation of "prepared environments" designed to safeguard children from, and heal children of, the destructive effects of adverse childhood experiences. Her "Children's Houses" were frequently referred to as "Healing Schools" by distinguished members of the medical profession. The message of our book is this: Trauma disorganises the brain, but the Montessori Method can help to re-organise it. This book shows the reader how "authentic" Montessori environments still have the capacity to heal children suffering from the insidious effects of early childhood trauma caused by adverse childhood experiences.
The World Alzheimer's Report 2014 states: "By 2050, 135 million people around the world will live with dementia". That same report states: "Given this epidemic scale and with no known cure, it is crucial that we look at what we can do .......to manage the quality of life of those living with it and their relatives". This book, which is based on a series of lectures delivered by the authors at the University of York, UK in 2011/2012, aims to do just that. The book shows how "work", i.e meaningful activity can improve the quality of life of, not just the persons living with dementia, but their families and friends as well. This book presents Montessori-Based Activities for people living with dementia. It explains: - What Montessori-Based Activities are: - Why Montessori-Based Activities are uniquely suited to helping people living with dementia. The book is filled with practical activities which can be carried out daily by people living with dementia. It has now been proven that Montessori-Based Activities bring about a more positive mind-set in people living with dementia. This in turn results in less "responsive behaviours", less anxiety and less depression. For this reason, Montessori-Based Activity for people living with dementia is presently being seen as a "game-changer" in the field of dementia care.
