110 Livingston Street

Discover the intricate dynamics of the New York City school system in 110 Livingston Street by David Rogers. Published by Eliot Werner Publications Inc in 2006, this compelling paperback spans 616 pages, offering an in-depth examination of the sociological models of mass society. Rogers critically analyzes the challenges faced by a system he describes as a "sick bureaucracy," particularly during the tumultuous decentralization crisis of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Through a detailed exploration of the political aspects and public policy surrounding education, the author sheds light on the ongoing efforts by various mayors to reform the schools. This insightful work is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of sociology, education, and public policy in the United States.
