Standing provides a synthesis of Maria Montessori's life and her ideas. He worked closely with her for thirty years and at her behest produced this systematic presentation of her principles and practice. It is a great introduction to an heroic woman (she was the first woman in Italy to take the degree of Doctor of Medicine) and the Montessori method of education.
The worst decision Montessori made was letting Standing be her biographer.
