With the advent of cyberspace, geographic boundaries are no longer barriers to learning; in the arena of cultural influence, American hegemony is in decline. The world around us is opening up, and in order to take advantage of all it has to offer, our children must first learn to understand and appreciate cultural differences. In Global Education: From Thought to Action, Kenneth Tye makes the case for providing American education in a global context. Co-director of the Orange County, Ca.-based Center for Human Interdependence, the author launched the Network Project in 1985, a field study among southern California schools which sought to answer the question: "What does it take to bring a global perspective to the curriculum of a school?" This book is a distillation and analysis of the results, as well as an eloquent paean in favor of a new, more outward-looking educational perspective.
