Lifelike Pedagogy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788591031818)

Marcelo Rodrigues was a curious and alert boy. He walked and talked before his first year and soon showed a great will to explore the environments, opening the doors of the lowest cupboards, what demanded a great attention and energy from his parents. Still young, he administrated his own lab at the back of his yard, where he produced great amount of colorful liquids, carefully stored in shampoo pots. At this same stage of his childhood, he developed a study about ants, building by himself an anthill in an empty aquarium, where he would feed the ants with quite overstatement while he observed the development of the tunnels and rooms built by these small and interesting animals. Together with his best friend, he took away the calmness of the neighborhood by exploring, uninvited, the roofs, gardens and yards of the nearby houses, discovering interesting things about his neighbors' lives. And that's how Marcelo grew up, always curious about what surrounded him, no matter if it was the habits of his neighbors or the ants in the yard. His constant attempt to understand the world since his childhood became the basis for his great ideas and conclusions about life that persisted until his adult life.
