Its historical overview of the reforms and movements in education from 1893 to 1958 has proven timeless for both its evenness of research and its portrayal of the theories and of the people - including women and minorities - which helped shape American education. The second edition includes a new preface and an afterword by the author which trace explicitly his own theoretical orientations to the subject within a larger discussion about what he refers to as "the search for progressive education." Herbert Kliebard is Professor of Educational Policy Studies and Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He is the author of Forging the American Curriculum. Vissza
