On the basis of direct personal observation in the classroom,
systematically gathered data, and extensive reading in primary sources,
the author provides a rich description of how a society can be gradually
transformed by the educational process in its schools. He then relates
this process to the problems of the advanced industrial world.
Originally published in 1980.
