{"product_id":"transforming-history","title":"Transforming History","description":"Education is currently a foremost concern for many Americans. 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.\u003cp\u003e William 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\u003e Thompson 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\u003cb\u003eTransforming History\u003c\/b\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\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Foreword \u003cbr\u003e One: Cultural History and Complex Dynamical Systems \u003cbr\u003e Two: Transforming History \u003cbr\u003e Notes \u003cbr\u003e Appendix: An Outline of the Curriculum \u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"Lindisfarne Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50020784570618,"sku":"9781584200697","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_12f82351-5519-4fc2-8f0b-45506abcbef2.jpg?v=1786137066","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/transforming-history","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
