Literature

This list of resources might be helpful to you in capturing some of the aspects of our course. I hope our journey through this course will take us beyond the pages of books or other resources to a meaningful learning which can last and be useful to us for as long as we live. Learning is the most beautiful thing in life in which teachers and students hopefully will engage in a path that will open their minds to experience the best that life has to offer helping them to be active and not reactive, and to be productive in the real sense of the word. We are looking forward for our class.
