About This Item
New York, N.Y.: Praeger Publishers, Holt, Rineheart and Winston, 1977. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Good/Good. 168 pages. Illustration (16 black and white photographs).

Includes two page black and white map of Iran on pages 9 and 10. Modern Iran is based on two events: the ancient history of a people, over 3,000 years old, who settled on a high plateau between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, thus forming a strategic landbridge between Europe and India, and the discovery and exploitation of oil, with all its inherent wealth. John Abbott is president of the 21st Century Learning Initiative, a transnational association of researchers and practitioners. He was a teacher of geography and religious studies at Manchester Grammar School, headmaster of Alleyne's School in Stevenage, chairman of the Royal Geographical Society's Expeditionary Advisory Centre, and director of Education 2000, with nine community-wide projects in the United Kingdom. Over the last six years he has lectured around the world on new understandings about learning. He and his family lived in Reston, Virginia, from 1995 to 1999. He is the author of The Iranians: How They Live and Work, The Earth's Changing Surface, Learning Makes Sense, and The Child Is the Father of the Man: How Humans Learn and Why.
