"Upon persistent demand from the academic community and individual scholars, teachers and students, we are now releasing the individual volumes of our highly successful series, title--The Curriculum, . Essential Readings.

This six volume collection includes some of the best works written on the curriculum studies. The purpose of the series is to discuss and debate major trends and developments in the formative period of the subject when curriculum studies were still not an independent area of study.

The collection covers the key points of dispute and areas of controversy within the field of curriculum studies and includes works of some of the leading writers of their times." (jacket)
