The Individual, Society, and Education: A History of American Educational Ideas

by Clarence J. Karier

  This is an updated version of Karier's highly regarded Man, Society,
        and Education , which focuses on the concepts of human nature and community
        throughout American educational history. For the new edition, Karier has
        added chapters on the major movements in American education from World
        War II to the present and on the major Supreme Court cases involving educational
        policy during the same period.
      "This classic volume remains a remarkable study in the history of
        ideas into which the implications for American schooling have been deftly
        woven. It is balanced, thorough, and intelligently challenging."
        --- Ann M. Keppel , College of Education, University of Hawaii at
        Manoa
      "This new edition should have great use as a primary text at the
        graduate and advanced undergraduate levels."
