This volume chronicles peace education in the United States. The book presents a historical narrative of the curriculum, writings, and contributions of numerous individuals in education, religion, and related fields who have been involved for almost two centuries in attempts, largely unsuccessful, to introduce teaching about peace in U.S. schools. The people include educators, humanitarians, and reformers, such as Horace Mann, John Dewey, Fannie Fern Andrews, Edwin D. and Lucia Ames Mead, Jane Addams, Mortimer Adler, Albert Einstein, and Robert Havighurst, among others. The book provides over 700 citations with photographs, an extensive bibliography, and a resource directory. (RJC)
