Title: And Stones Grow Trees: Living Pedagogy by Evgeny Yamburg
Description:
In this book, timed for the 80th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Education, Evgeny Yamburg draws on the experience of outstanding figures in domestic and world pedagogy: Janusz Korczak, Anton Makarenko, Nikolai Pirogov, Konstantin Ushinsky, and Sergei Hessen. These individuals, living in different historical eras, had to overcome resistance from their environment—whether a totalitarian state or the corners of a bureaucratic apparatus.
Despite these obstacles, the living pedagogy they created, like a tree breaking through asphalt, found its way through all barriers to the minds and souls of modern successors to their work. Even today, we rely on the ideas and discoveries of past educators. According to the author, the super-task of the book is "to instill optimism in all those who are not afraid to embark on new, unexplored paths of knowledge." This is a reflection on resilience, tradition, and the enduring power of teaching.
