Most of the works cited in this bibliography are considered to be about "holistic education" as defined by their authors, or by others in the field. Some are writings within education that have holistic elements within their descriptions about learning or child development. If you have only time to read one book and want to know what to start with, we recommend Krishnamurti's Education and the Significance of Life.
