Publisher Synopsis
"This is a splendid study, written with clarity and grace, that is shaped around the contributions of four of the most influential intellectual figures in American Education in the 20th century. It is a remarkable achievement in that it expertly analyzes the work of a philosopher, an anthropologist and two psychologists whose legacy the author convincingly demonstrates is what distinguishes American education from that of any other country in the world."-Robert V. Remini, Professor of History Emeritus Research Professor of Humanities Emeritus University of Illinois at Chicago Read more...
