Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The ground that lies between education and work is the most contested area in contemporary education. With contributions from England, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, Australia and the United States, this book offers a text that will remain a standard reference for many years. It assembles claims relating to work and education that are lasting ones: claims about which we can be reasonably certain. It offers this knowledge as the background theory needed by those teaching, administering, or deciding policy and curriculum in education for work.

Reprint. Originally published: Palmerston North, New Zealand : Dunmore Press, 1988..
