This book really didn't add anything to my knowledge of how to teach under the Charlotte Mason philosophy beyond what I had gained for free off the internet. I had hoped it would have more modern applications like the title implies, but things like the internet and computers and such are only briefly mentioned in asides and not as elements of any curriculum. The book doesn't even give a complete curriculum outline. It just gives samples from a couple grades, not enough to even build my own curriculum from. I did glean maybe two ideas from this book that I hadn't thought of before, but I don't think the time invested in the book made it worth it. So not a book I would turn to to learn more of CM and how to teach like her. Look for other books (though there aren't many great ones) and definitely on the internet. Lots of info there.
