Homeschooling in Full View: A Reader Bruce S. Cooper, Ph.D., Editor – This, a full-scale edited book, is a reader that describes, discusses and analyzes homeschooling from an array of different and international perspectives. The diverse authors portray the energy of this movement in this volume, looking at the history of “education writ large,” in a larger social, political and religious context, one for placing homeschooling in perspective. The homeschool movement is both a proactive new direction in education that stands on its own and it is a reaction to the problems and inadequacies of existing schools and schooling paradigms. This is the newest (as of June 1005) scholarly book on home-based education (homeschooling), but written with a wide audience in mind. It includes chapters on a variety of topics and from diverse perspectives by Bruce S. Cooper, Brian D. Ray, Donald A. Erickson, Charles D. Glenn, Tom Smedley, Michael W. Apple, Nicky Hardenbergh, Rob Reich, Venus L. Taylor, Scott L. Somerville, Steven L. Duvall, and Clive R. Belfield. (paperback, 2005)

Increased safety is a main reason for homeschooling (e.g., violence, drug & alcohol use, psychological abuse by schools, pressure for premarital sexual behaviors). - Brian D. Ray, Ph.D.
