- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

SUMMARY
John Dewey's best-known and still-popular classic,Democracy and Education,is presented here as a new edition in Volume 9 of the Middle Works. Sidney Hook, who wrote the introduction to this volume, describesDemocracy and Education:"It illuminates directly or indirectly all the basic issues that are central today to the concerns of intelligent educators. . . . It throws light on several obscure corners in Dewey's general philosophy in a vigorous, simple prose style often absent in his more technical writings. And it is the only work in any field originally published as a textbook that has not merely acquired the status of a classic, but has become the one book that no student concerned with the philosophy of education today should leave unread." Dewey said in 1930thatDemocracy and Education,"was for many years the one [book] in which my philosophy . . . was most fully expounded."Hook, Sidney is the author of 'John Dewey The Middle Works 1899-1924', published 1980 under ISBN 9780809309337 and ISBN 0809309335.
