A History of the Western Educational Experience

Gerald L. Gutek

Waveland Press, 1994

A very thorough book
This book, once you make it beyond the first chapter, is a very informative and surprisingly easy read. Because of its formulaic chapters, notation comes easy. I'm having to use this book for a course right now. Even if I did not like the class itself, I wouldn't take it out on this book.

Gerald L. Gutek

Prentice Hall, 2004

Book o.k. Amazon's sale presentation terrible!
The book is average for texts of this type. However, Amazon's presentation of the book for prospective customers is terrible! Unlike many other books they sell, they DO NOT allow you to see a table of contents, index, or sample pages. They seem to want the customer to "buy a pig in a poke." That's Amazon's fault--not the author's. I passed on purchase, not because the book is bad, but ...

Prentice Hall, 2000

I changed my mind!
I'll admit that when I first read this book in college (it was a required text) I hated it. But there was so much information in it that I find myself constantly referring to it. I have really come to treasure this book. As an education major in college, this is a great reference book.

Gerald L. Gutek

Waveland Pr Inc, 1999

Refreshing Approach towards Pestalozzi's Life and Work
Gutek's "Pestalozzi and Education" is a well written and interesting book. The author writes about the political, social, economic, and intellectual settings of Pestalozzi's time. Througout the book Gutek summarizes Pestalozzi's life and work very well. Finally, he brings up some good points in "Attitudianl Dimension" (the last part of the book.) about education. Unfortunately, the author often ...

Emile (Library of Essential Reading Series)
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Barnes & Noble Books, 2005

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's thesis that children are naturally good at birth violated the traditional Christian doctrine of origin sin. His argument that education should arise from children's natural instincts and impulses rather than trying to civilize and socialize them challenged traditional schooling. Rousseau's defenders see him as a pioneering thinker whose revolutionary ideas about permissive child rearing generated the movement for ...
