The Working Together of Three Great Leaders of Humanity
Bernard Lievegoed
Bernard Lievegoed died in 1992. He considered this work to be his final testament.

For that is what the book is about: the things which are to come.'

Freedom, Equality and Fraternity in Everyday Life

Freeing Education
Steps towards Real Choice and Diversity in Schools
Edited by Fiona Carnie, Martin Large and Mary Tasker
Freeing Education addresses the problems in education today-centralised control, a prescriptive National Curriculum and lack of real parental choice. The authors argue strongly for greater choice and diversity within a more equitable state system, and explain how this can be achieved. Here are teachers, parents and leading educationalists who make the bold assertion that freedom in education matters.

'The importance of this book is that it mounts a well-informed and many sided challenge to the whole trend of government policy for many years … the case is very well argued.'
