Vygotsky was one of the most talented and creative Soviet psychologists. His innovative theories of thought and speech are important not only for psychology but for other disciplines also - linguistics, education, semiotics and sociology. As the ideas of Piaget have decreased in popularity so those of Vygotsky have increased and his impact in these other areas has begun to be felt. This is especially so in the field of education, and in Charting the Agenda Harry Daniels has brought together a range of experts to explore the work of Vygotsky and its influence and impact for educational practice. The book is divided into three parts. The first two provide a general introduction to Vygotsky's work and explore the theoretical developments. The final part is concerned with the educational implications of Vygotsky's work. Contributors: T. Burgess, V.V. Davydov, P. Evans, H. Daniels, M. Gerarhart, J. Levine, I.Lunt, M. Note, P.Paduano, A. Polland, G. Saxe, A. Smolka, J. Wertsch, V.P. Zinchenko
