Hardcover (with dust jacket - not price clipped). Condition: Near Fine Dust Jacket: Near Fine. 166pp. The Life of R. F. MacKenzie, published by John Donald Publishers Limited [1998], First Edition. Fine plates. R. F. Mackenzie (1910-1987) was one of the most original and radical thinkers in 20th century Scotland. In the 1970s, as a writer and a polemicist, he made a profound and lasting impression on the minds of British, European, American, and Commonwealth educationists. His books are still widely studied by teachers in training, and his work may be viewed as an essential contribution to the debate about the kind of education needed for the Millennium. The author of this work, Peter A. Murphy, a head teacher in Dundee for more than 20 years, taught under MacKenzie at Summerhill Academy, Aberdeen from 1968-71. An interesting and thought-provoking read. Black textured cloth boards, with gilt lettering to spine, covered in illustrative gloss dust jacket. Turquoise pastedown and FREP.
