The New Education: a Review of Progressive Educational Movements of the Day (Dodo Press)
Scott Nearing
Scott Nearing (1883-1983) was an American conservationist, peace activist, educator and writer. Born in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, Nearing is still viewed as a radical 20 years after his death. In 1954 he co-authored Living the Good Life: How to Live Simply and Sanely in a Troubled World with his wife Helen. The book, in which war, famine and poverty were discussed, described a nineteen-year "back to the land experiment" and also advocated a modern day "homesteading". Nearing's antiwar activities cost him two teaching jobs, and he was even charged under the Espionage Act for opposing the First World War.
