Martin Flavin's account of the life and impact of German educator Kurt Hahn is a good place to start for anyone interested in the roots of the Outward Bound movement. Hahn's intuitive notion about the need to ignite the interests and abilities of the young within the context of challenge has had a dramatic effect on individuals worldwide, as well as progressive pedagogy. For those who have had an Outward Bound-esque experience, this book can serve as a historical tool for uncovering the roots of their experience. For educators interested in exploring the wilds of experiential education, Kurt Hahn's Schools and Legacy offers a concise map through the global reaches of Hahn's impact. Although I found this book extremely helpful, I settled on three stars for two reasons: poor editing (typos abound!), and the sense that much of the historical material was borrowed from Joshua Miner's Outward Bound USA (a five star find for Outward Bounders and educators alike...if you can get a hold of this out-of-print gem). All in all, if you are having trouble finding literature on Kurt Hahn, this book provides a solid headstart. PLUS EST EN VOUS...
