From the introduction:
"This collection of essays takes the reader through the evolution of Robert Muller's thoughts on education and the development of his world core curriculum.

This curriculum has been put into practice at a school which bears his name in Arlington, Texas. (And over 40 other schools throughout the world.)

The essays come from speeches or writings published over the years as his vision emerged; they have been revised in part to include more recent happenings. The organization is in chronological order for content rather than for original date of publicaiton to allow the reader to join in this journey."
