A hand holding a small book from 1934 called "Nature and Life", by A.N.Whitehead.
Just in ! Another lesser-known text by Whitehead, in a nice first edition from 1934.

The cover of the book "The Aims of Education and Other Essays" by A.N. Whitehead, a second edition printed in 1942.
Just in ! There are quite a few smaller texts written by Whitehead that are not often quoted and I've certainly not (yet) read them all.
