Waldorf Education: Foundations and Practice
Steiner's foundations of Waldorf education in one volume: the essay on the education of the child (1907), the course for the founding teachers of the first Waldorf school (1919), two lectures to its parents, and the lectures of Stuttgart and Torquay (1924) — in a new English translation with a fixed glossary of key terms, each passage referenced to its page in the printed German edition.
