A Manual for the Amateur CraftsmanAuthor(s): Elvira FarrowCarol HillNumber of pages: 291 pagesCopyright: 1975Publisher: Education Systems PublisherBinding: Softcover Subject(s): Methods: MontessoriReview: This is a more advanced and thorough version of Teaching Montessori in the Home. The book contains a very good introduction to the Montessori philosophy of education, but from a secular point of view. It includes much more detailed descriptions of the different activities. It also includes instructions for making nicer materials, but more skill, time and money is required than the materials outlined in Teaching Montessori in the Home.Additional notes: Copyrights 1972/1975Reviewed by: Alicia Van HeckeFirst reviewed: May 19, 2000
