The Light Course: First Course in Natural Science: Light, Color, Sound―Mass, Electricity, Magnetism (CW 320) (Foundations of Waldorf Education, 22) 2nd Edition

Steiner "Light Course" contains especially important reading for parents ofsmall children who are making eduational decisions. As I write in the review:This treatment of color was very difficult for me to follow -- it was always like I was walking up a snowy hill and every two steps I took, I slid back a step or so. The pull of the kinematical way of thinking about phenomena kept me back-sliding. You may experience this, also. The problem is that this kinematical tug is not conscious for most of us, up until now. "We had to be carefully taught" as Oscar Hammerstein wrote for a song in South Pacific. And having been so taught how to think, it is difficult to think in another fashion, no matter how much more simpler it would be. It's a slippery slope. Steiner called it a "bitter pill" to take, using a medical metaphor, and spoke particularly to the teachers of small children who have a chance to teach children to observe the world in this simpler fashion, before they learn to add concepts upon concepts to form the massive abstract layer cake of what constitutes science, up until now.You read the entirety of my review in DIGESTWORLD Issue#14c by Bobby Matherne

I am an undergrad physics student and this book helps me a lot to balance all that I'm studying at uni.

Interesting and important.
