Stein and Larry Millers Blueprint for Counter Education is one of the defining (but neglected) works of radical pedagogy of the Vietnam War era. Originally published as a boxed set by Doubleday in 1970  the book was accompanied by large graphic posters that could serve as a portable learning environment for a new process-based model of education  and a bibliography and checklist that map patterns and relationships between radical thought and artistic practicesfrom the modernist avant-gardes to postmodernism  from the Bauhaus to Black Mountain College  from Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin to Buckminster Fuller and Norman O. Brownwith Herbert Marcuse and Marshall McLuhan serving as points of anchorage. Blueprint for Counter Education thus serves as a vital synthesis of the numerous intellectual currents in the countercultural debate on the radical reform of schools  universities and ways of learning. To accompany this new facsimile edition of the book and posters  an 80-page booklet features a conversation with the original Blueprint creators  Maurice R. Stein  Larry Miller and designer Marshall Henrichs  as well as essays from Jeffrey Schnapp  Paul Cronin and notes on the design by Adam Michaels of Project Projects.
