Bertram C. Bruceis currently a Professor Emeritus in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois. His work contributes to a tradition of democratic education, asking "How can we guide the educational enterprise by an ethical vision, not simply a technocratic one of transmitting isolated facts and skills?" His career combines a philosophical perspective with passionate work directly with communities in the US and many other countries throughout the world.

In this wide-ranging book, Professor Bruce draws on his extensive knowledge of literature, communication theory, and educational thought to shape a powerful rationale for educational engagement with the community. Taking education beyond the classroom walls and drawing on the work of educational and social reformers like John Dewey and Jane Addams, professor Bruce shows how an engagement with a community and its resources can lead to a richer educational experience. His book will be of great value to anyone interested in humanizing technology and revitalizing education by connecting it to the ongoing life of a community.
