The Heart of Higher Education: A Call to Renewal
From Parker Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to Teach, and Arthur Zajonc, professor of physics at Amherst College and director of the academic program of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, comes this call to revisit the roots and reclaim the vision of higher education. The Heart of Higher Education proposes an approach to teaching and learning that honors the whole human being—mind, heart, and spirit—an essential integration if we hope to address the complex issues of our time. The book offers a rich interplay of analysis, theory, and proposals for action from two educators and writers who have contributed to developing the field of integrative education over the past few decades.

    Troubleshooting:
    If you do not hear the audio, please check that your headphones or speakers are connected properly, and that your computer volume is turned up. You may need to click the triangular play button to the right to re-start the audio (it will only play for about 90 seconds on this page). If you do not see the green audio control buttons above, you may not have the Flash Player installed. Click here to see if you have the Flash Player.
