Description: "For more than three decades, Michael W. Apple has sought to uncover and articulate the connections among knowledge, teaching, and power in education. His germinal  Ideology and Curriculum was a watershed title in critical education studies, and has remained in print since its publication in 1979.

In this collection, Apple brings together 13 of his key writings in one place, providing an overview not just of his own career, but of the larger development of the field.
