Featuring voices from literature and philosophy in dialogue with the living stage of classrooms, streets, and community spaces, this book offers an imaginative and practical guide to democratic education.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551815528728,"sku":"9780807756423","price":62.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/teaching-and-learning-on-the-verge-democratic-education-in-action-hardback-9780807756423","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
