{"product_id":"community-service-howard-radest-9780275941864","title":"Community Service: Encounter with Strangers","description":"Radest reviews the history and present practice of community service in the United States. While appreciative of the genuine contributions of community service programs to the development of schools and society, the author believes that hidden behind good intentions and willing energies there is a strain of ambivalence that cannot be ignored (such as when a citizen is sentenced by the court to perform a number of hours of community service). He analyzes philosophically and psychologically this ambivalence, employing his experience in the field, his observations of school and community-based programs around the country, as well as his point of view as an educator and social critic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Radest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275941868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275941864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.08w x 0.80d","brand":"Howard Radest","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48216477303039,"sku":"9780275941864","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bf491d3-a6e3-4e06-80c3-80f1890d34c9.jpg?v=1771991259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-service-howard-radest-9780275941864","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
