Book excerpt: In this book the author shares wisdom gained in almost fifty years of Montessori experience. It contains a compilation of stories from the author's own teaching experience, and information shared as a Montessori school consultant, guest lecturer on teacher-training courses, and at conferences and workshops in such places as New Zealand, Thailand, Morocco, Mongolia, Peru, Colombia, Albania, and the USA. Although the majority of the information is intended for the Montessori teacher of children from 2.5 to six years, there is also information of value to those working with infants, older children, and adults, and a detailed glossary of Montessori terms. The words "Cosmic Education" refer to the Montessori practice of introducing the whole world-science, arts, history, and geography-to young children through age-appropriate practical life lessons, sensorial experiences, experiments, and language. With this preparation at an early and impressionable age, children learn to love the world in all its aspects, and as they grow up will have the tools to make sense of the world and the cosmos and to find a place in it as valuable contributing members.
