Back to Basics: Fundamental Educational Questions Reexamined. Book Review.
Blacker, David
American Journal of Education, v104 n3 p243-49 May 1996

It includes persuasive arguments for severing the consideration of education from how well it prepares citizens for the marketplace and focusing on what education does for us as human beings. (SLD)
