The Curriculum of Modern Education
This book is a philosophical assessment of the curriculum and education, which presents an attractively formulated conception of the good life. Education is a creative process, and an infinite array of forces is at work to produce a fully matured adult. The purpose of education to teach a person to live in the manner that is best for them and their associates. The intellect plays an indispensable role, and life cannot be enjoyed completely without cultivating painstakingly the art of intellectual living. The servant of the intellect is language, science is an instrument for comprehending the nature of reality, and religious contemplation is a noble and difficult level of life to achieve. It is emphasized here that education is for the development of vigorous minds and that living knowledge is the result of our being stimulated and disciplined by an endless succession of impressions and experiences. The mission of education to direct and condition children to a superior manner of life by means of an unceasing interplay of nature's resources with the refined nurture provided in our social and cultural institutions.

Understanding Curriculum
Perhaps not since Ralph Tyler's (1949) Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction has a book communicated the field as completely as Understanding Curriculum.

It will be an indispensable textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses alike.
