there is vast research community across the world which builds on Vygotsky and Activity theory,
particularly in education departments.Each of the three books beginning the series is a collection of the English translations from one of the three authors: Alexei Leontyev’s The Development of Mind, Alexander Meshcheryakov’s Awakening To Life and Evald Ilyenkov’s The Ideal in Human Activity, plus a short preface by Prof. Mike Cole of the University of California, San Diego.
