"Is there any hope that we may ever know what death is? Since it is a problem of knowing, we need to find the epistemological devices that will lead us to coming closer to it. I think this paper has something to tell on the matter - something useful and perhaps significant. My own way of being convinced of this is to be found in the liberation my theory brought me, I was freed from having to carry the tension the problem had generated in me." -Caleb Gattegno

Cette monographie est partie int grante de "La Science de l' ducation," le trait de Caleb Gattegno qui rassemble les fondements de sa pens e et les recherches men es tout au long de sa vie. Ce chapitre rev t une importance particuli re car il tablit quels apprentissages conduisent chacun d'entre nous la ma trise de sa langue maternelle, "la plus trang re de toutes les langues." Les capacit's ainsi d velopp es peuvent sans doute tre utiles pour apprendre une deuxi me langue. De l se pose alors, selon l'auteur, la question de l'enseignement des langues: "Pouvons-nous nous inspirer des d couvertes faites dans l' tude de l'acquisition d'une premi re langue pour trouver des mani res d'enseigner qui conduisent chaque tudiant ( ... ) utiliser son savoir-faire pour conqu rir rapidement, facilement et pour de bon une autre langue, presque comme si elle devenait sa langue principale ?""Ce qui fait la valeur de cette proposition, c'est qu'elle est la premi re pr sentation explicite d'une pist mologie de l'apprentissage d'une deuxi me langue, utile aux enseignants qui ( ... ) seront mieux m me de cibler leurs activit s."- Caleb Gattegno
Math maticien de formation, C. Gattegno a contribu de multiples mani res l'am lioration de l'enseignement des math matiques. Dans cet ouvrage, o il offre un regard nouveau et original sur les math matiques, il met en vidence l'essentiel de ses prises de conscience dans ce domaine, que laissent entrevoir ces quelques phrases tir es de sa pr face: "Personne ne s' tonne du fait que partout, la plupart des jeunes enfants apprennent parler..." Si nous reconnaissons ce fait et y r fl chissons, nous d couvrons que les esprits humains sont quip's pour accomplir des actes mentaux qui ressemblent ce que font les math maticiens dans leurs propres laboratoires mentaux. Il s'ensuit qu'une nouvelle piste est disponible pour le p dagogue qui, pratiquant la Science de l'Education, se pr occupe de former des math maticiens."- Caleb Gattegno

In the mid 1970s, a band of men with little expertise in the oilfield defied the hard ground of Giddings, Texas, to search for oil in a barren, poverty-stricken land that was littered with dry holes, shattered hopes, and empty pockets. Max Williams, the former hot-shot basketball player at SMU, and Irv Deal had been in high-dollar real estate until the real estate market collapsed. Both were facing the wrath of hard times. Pat Holloway was a lawyer who operated drilling funds but had never tested the ill-fated Austin Chalk. He drilled the most and earned the most but lost it all in the shady confines of a Dallas courtroom. Jimmy Luecke was a highway patrolman who stopped Holloway for speeding one night and promised not to take him to jail if the lawyer/oilman would agree to drill on his family's land. Bill Shuford was right out of college and more interested in finding the next beer joint than his next job. Jim Dobos was a constable who used his badge to lease land, struck it rich, and was found with a gunshot in his head. Was it murder or suicide? Clayton Williams was the only big-time oilman in the bunch, but in the beginning, he made the mistake of employing the wrong geologist. Only those who used the geologic genius of Ray Holifield found oil. Holifield had cracked the code of the chalk. Gamble in the Devil's Chalk is the true story of their fights, their feuds, their trials, their tribulations, and their triumphs as they discovered the second largest oilfield in the United States during the past half century. Once they came, Giddings would never be the same again.
