Reseña del editor:
Despite the great technological, political, and cultural accomplishments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, there has been little real progress in other crucial areas of human development. Clearly, many deep spiritual human values are being sacrificed for selfish pursuits. Consequently, crime motivated by anger, jealousy, and envy, continues to increase while people of different social, spiritual, educational, and political backgrounds exhibit also self destructive behavior. The author believes strongly that the present educational model of separation in the Western world is responsible for this social trend and a shift in the existing paradigm toward the model of unity is essential for a real positive change in human behavior. We need to know who we really are and what is our real place in the universe. The purpose of this book is to provide evidence and motivation for the implementation of the new educational paradigm.
Biografía del autor:
The author was born in 1955 in Romania where he was raised and received his college education in mathematics and computer science. In 1981 he defected from the Communist regime of Romania and spent several months in a political refugee camp in Italy. In 1982 he received his Green Card in order to immigrate into the United States and since then has been teaching mathematics in Austin, Texas, which he finds very rewarding. Over the years he has published several educational articles and has presented at many professional conferences in the United States and Canada. His main interest is the philosophy of general education and the improvement of human life. His extensive research and first hand experience in science, religion, and spirituality led to the writing of this book. Beside family activities and writing, Irie Glajar finds great pleasure in music, traveling, gardening, and sports such as tennis and volleyball.
