Description: UNCLE ERIC TALKS ABOUT PERSONAL, CAREER, AND FINANCIAL SECURITY An "Uncle Eric Book" ~ Book 1 in the Series By Richard Maybury Published by Bluestocking Press ~ Paperback Brand New - 2nd Edition, Revised ~ Free Media Shipping Appropriate for Ages 14 and up (about grade 8 and above) This is the 1st book in the "Uncle Eric" 11-Book set. It lays all the ground work for his great series on economics, law, and political philosophy, which starts with Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? Author Maybury explains that one of the most important things you can teach children or learn yourself is, "Models are how we think, they are how we understand how the world works. As we go through life we build these very complex pictures in our minds of how the world works, and we're constantly referring back to them - matching incoming data against our models. One of the most important uses for models is in sorting incoming information to decide if it's important or not. In most schools, models are never mentioned because the teachers are unaware of them. One of the most dangerous weaknesses in traditional education is that it contains no model for political history. Teachers teach what they were taught - and no one ever mentioned models to them, so they don't teach them to their students. For the most part, children are just loaded down with collections of facts that they are made to memorize. Without good models, children have no way to know which facts are important and which are not. Students leave school thinking history is a senseless waste of time. Then, deprived of the real lessons of history, the student is vulnerable." Supplemental study guides were written for 9 of the titles in the 11-book set and are also available. I have them listed separately, as well as in sets with their accompanying book.

HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM USE: Ambleside Online, Sonlight, Veritas, TruthQuest History, and other literature-based educational programs use at least some of the Uncle Eric books in their curricula. Using the 11-book set will form the backbone for a great foundation in economics, law or government. I cannot recommend them highly enough to you. We used the series all through our high school years.
