The penultimate book in my list of books to read after Finals, and another one recommended to me by Roman Krznaric. I read the second edition, which printed the text without the pictures (which I nevertheless looked up online). Colin Ward is a gentle anarchist in the sense that he wants society to function despite - not because of - what government does or doesn't do. He has a remarkable empathy for children. I'm wondering if Roman recommended this to me because we were talking about how I don't really like (or want to have) children. Although it didn't set my brain on fire, I suspect this book will quietly influence my thinking. It's a good companion to the ITV documentary series 7 Up.
