Alan A. Block Bücher

This book explores the seminal curriculum work of Joseph Schwab in the light of a Rabbinic Judaism to which Schwab did not - even, perhaps, could not - refer, but which Alan Block asserts might be central to a fuller understanding of Schwab's prescriptions for 'The Practical'. Using the language and methods of Rabbinic Judaism and Schwab's eclectic arts, Talmud, Curriculum, and The Practical opens a new, practical perspective onto American education, studying and redefining issues confronting education at the beginning of a new century and a new millennium.

Exploring the theme of anxiety, this memoir delves into the author's life experiences shaped by family, education, culture, and psychotherapy. Provoked by his daughter's inquiry about his own anxiety, he reflects on personal origins and lifelong struggles. Through these reflections, he shares insights and wisdom gained over three-quarters of a century, addressing the complexities of anxiety while offering thoughtful responses to the challenging question of its presence in his life.
