 Classics in Activity Theory,
reprints of English translations first published by Progress Publishers
in the 1970s, of the second generation of Soviet followers of Lev
Vygotsky. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, while remaining in the
public domain, these works have become unavailable, in most cases even
on the second hand market. And yet 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.
