About This Item
Tight, uncreased spine is very slightly concave. Unmarked interior. There is a two- by three-inch dampstain affecting much of the text block at the foot. Else only very minor shelf-wear. An early treatise by the Austrian philosopher-priest, taking on contemporary education and its endless cycle of dysfunction: 'Health, learning, dignity, independence, and creative endeavor are defined as little more than the performances of the institutions which claim to serve those ends . . .' This mass-market edition features a Futura Bold–emblazoned cover depicting a dissociative break in the pedagogical chain—the work of the great Lawrence Ratzkin, who also created memorable covers for editions of Donald Barthelme's Snow White, P. G. Wodehouse's The Most, and Walter Evans-Wentz's English translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. (Note: There is a two- by three-inch dampstain affecting the text block at the foot.) 186 pp. Politics & Philosophy.
