Description

The volume summarizes recent scholarship on German-American relations in the field of education until World War I. The articles prove the various influences of German scholarship and institutions on the development of the American system of education from kindergarten to university. As a cooperative effort of German and American scholars the volume is intended to stimulate further exploration of these themes on both continents.
