Boris Cyrulnik
Preparing the children for kindergarten
Boris Cyrulnik, accompanied by a dozen early childhood experts, leads an exploration of how we can build the kindergarten of tomorrow and how we can give our little ones the very best chance of success

Stéphanie Crescent
Everyone’s Intelligent
A clear, accessible book that will enable parents to recognise their child’s individual aptitudes and help her succeed academically

Marc Crépon
The Writer’s Vocation
From earliest childhood we all know how violent, unfair, even inflexible, language can be — particularly when we have to confront our parents’ or schoolteachers’ anger.

Georges Charpak
Children, Researchers and Citizens
Georges Charpak has taken the initiative for a complete reform of our methods of science teaching. He proposes a teaching method based on creativity and problem-solving, instead of the old theoretical, book-based approach. This book recounts the experiences of two teams of French educators in a research institution created by Leon Lederman in Chicago, and the lessons which we can take from their experiences. Pollens shows that to learn is to discover, and that it is in discovering that one learns. Georges Charpak is a Nobel laureate in physics, and the author of La vie à fil tendu and Feux follets et champignons nucléaires, both published by Editions Odile Jacob.

Jean-Michel Blanquer

To surmount the on-going fruitless discussions on education, the author proposes a series of guidelines for an open, humanistic school system.

Jean-Michel Blanquer
The School for the Future in France

Selected and finely-drawn examples from around the world illustrate how these contradictions can be overcome: Stanford and Silicon Valley, Singapore University, the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne nd research, ESSEC and entrepreneurship, and more.

Alain Bentolila
All about scholl
This is a brilliant, clearly argued demonstration of how the inability of the school system to evolve and develop a critical spirit may lead to the general failure of our entire society.

For a School of Resistance
