The University of Chicago Press
book cover
We are headed back to school this month, with a book that makes a fresh and startling argument about the school curriculum. Our free e-book for September is Learning in Depth: A Simple Innovation That Can Transform Schooling by Kieran Egan.
Egan argues that the broad, general curriculum that is the basis of traditional elementary and secondary school education misses a vital fact about knowledge: that real knowledge of a subject is knowledge in depth. In Learning in Depth he outlines an ambitious yet practical plan to incorporate deep knowledge into basic education.
“This is a fascinating, provocative, utterly visionary and courageously speculative imagining of an educational future that is simultaneously elite and egalitarian, deeply intellectual yet utterly connected to passion and identity. A most audacious proposal from one of education's most audacious thinkers.”—Lee S. Shulman, President Emeritus, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
Get the e-book of Learning in Depth free.


catalog cover
More books in Education from Chicago. See more of our new books in education--elementary though higher. And you'll need these reference books. Turabian, The Chicago Manual of Style, and much more. See our latest reference books to help you through the year.
About Chicago's e-books: The University of Chicago Press has over 2000 titles in its Chicago Digital Editions e-book program. Many of Chicago's e-books require Adobe Digital Editions software, which is freely downloadable. Chicago Digital Editions are powered by BiblioVault.
