Reviews

"Although the setting is mathematics, the value of Lampert’s book is broad, addressing the core issues that face anyone in education. This is one of the most important books about education to appear in the past decade. What Lampert writes is deep and compelling. The story is engaging, even griping; I couldn’t put it down."—Jim Stigler, author of The Learning Gap
