The Absorbent Mind by Maria Montessori is a book about how to educate children in their youngest stages of development. The Montessori method of education is not well-known, but there are Montessori schools planted around the world (including Iowa City).
I don't know much about this method, so I was rather interested in reading the book, until I got to the sentence "If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men." Ok...vague and weird. After reading the word "psychic" seven times in the first eight pages, I decided the book wasn't worth my time.
