The International education quotations encyclopaedia

Abstract

subject of this book is education in all its traditional and non-traditional forms. Education is exposed through over 2,500 quotations drawn from a wide range of international sources. From Angelou to Aristotle, from Bible to The Bridges of Madison County, from Shakespeare to Spender, from Malcolm X to Yoshida to Zuckerman, they are all here. Spanning several millennia, the quotations were carefully chosen from disparate sources and represent the thoughts of well over 1,300 female and male authors. These quotations come from ancient oriental philosophers; Greek and Roman sages; thinkers from the Renaissance and Reformation; Napoleonic-era authors; 19th and 20th century writers; plus scholars and educators now pondering the next century. For those wishing to see the broad reality of education today and of times gone by, this encyclopaedia provides a tremendous number of insights and a wide spectrum of colour. Its features: spans 3,000 years and contains over 2,500 entries; includes more than 1,300 female and male authors; lists 400 education related topics under 26 letters; and explains the Quotation Quadrangle, a good memory aid.
