In
this fascinating memoir, Brian Simon, the eminent historian of British education,
looks back on half a century of involvement in the politics of education.
Brian Simon is an activist as well as a commentator, and the book documents his lifelong involvement in campaigns for wider access to educational opportunity - especially the campaign for comprehensive education. He also focuses upon the process of education itself, from the very nature of learning and teaching to classroom organisation.
Age has not mellowed the man described by the Times Higher Educational Supplement as a 'continuing inspiration', and this book is a fitting testimony to a unique crusading writer.
Brian Simon's published work includes the four-volume Studies in the History of Education.
