"It says 1894 on the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1436561043/ncp-20 I hope my books are still being published 100 years from now! Pestalozzi only lived until 1827, so 1801 does make more sense. Google Books scanned a second…"

Alex Polikowsky replied to Jan Hunt's discussion The Unschooling Unmanual

"This is a great book. I really loved it. It is a great book to share with a partner that is not tottaly on board with unschooling because of mainstream concerns. IT is part of my Unschooling library and I highly recomend it as a must read."
