Originally published in the 1940s, Paul Hindemiths remarkable textbooks are still the outstanding works of their kind. In contrast to many musical textbooks written by academic musicians, these were produced by a man who could play every instrument of the orchestra, could compose a satisfying piece for almost every kind of ensemble, and who was one of the most stimulating teachers of his day. It is therefore not surprising that many years later these books should remain essential reading for the student and the professional musician.

Euskal Herriko auzo txiki batean, frankismoaren azken urteetan eta trantsizio garaian kokatuta dago Igerabideren lehen eleberri hau. Autoreak ongi ezagutzen duen garai eta leku gatazkatsu nahasia, beraz. Garai hartan nerabe eta gazte sasoiko izandako bat da narratzailea. Pertsonaia asko eta ongi taxutuak agertzen badira ere, bada bat narratzaileak begiz jotakoa eta ongi begikoa duena: Adela, auzoko maistra aurrerakoia. Emakume maitagarri haren drama humanoak josten du osoagoa izan nahi duen kontakizunaren ehuna. Eleberria oihartzunez beterik dago. Esan liteke oihartzunen sare batek osatzen duela nobelaren egitura, denbora kronologikoari denbora psikologikoa gailenduz. Ez da garai historiko baten azterketa objektiboa, irakurketa sentikor bat baizik, sufrikariotik eta gozamenetik sorturiko lekukotza bat, hauts bihurtu zirenen errautsekin idatzitakoa.

Umorea da eleberri honen ardatza. Umorea literatur tratamendu egokiz egina, estilo arinez, generoaren arauekiko berritzaile, eta beste berezitasun garrantzitsu batekin: arrakasta. Giharren bat ukitu izango du liburu honek euskaldun berri edo zaharberrituen gorputzean, nork bere burua identifikatua sentitzeraino pasarteren batean edo bestean. Izan ere euskal belaunaldi baten ispilu konplexurik gabea da Kutsidazu bidea, Ixabel.

The teaching of chemical equilibrium requires that teachers have a thorough understanding of this concept and they know its use to predict the evolution of chemical systems. Recent studies have shown that even many teachers seem not able to predict the evolution of a system that has undergone a certain type of perturbations. The goal of this book is to "to testify that it is possible - starting by the history of science and difficulties of students learning to design, investigate and improve innovative experimental didactic approaches for the teaching of the concept of chemical equilibrium. This is an attempt to show how it is possible to do engineering didactics for the emancipation of the activity of teachers: from simple loudspeakers of the scientific propositions to promoters of scientific knowledge."
