Rezensionen

"Joel Spring's American Education is, without a doubt, among the finest textbooks I have ever used for my courses. It is comprehensive and timely, managing to seamlessly and successfully interweave a consideration of both foundational education issues with more contemporary concerns. My students, who have uniformly provided positive mention of the book in course evaluations, have especially appreciated and enjoyed the numerous thought-provoking questions provided in each chapter. The breadth and depth provided by this work are both impressive and intriguing. Overall, I give American Education my highest possible endorsement."

- Kathy Ziwicki, Assistant Professor, St. Bonaventure University

"American Education provides an excellent overview of the three primary areas covered in educational foundations: history of education, philosophy of education, and sociology of education. It seamlessly weaves together these broad topics and provides relevant case studies and examples from the contemporary American educational landscape."

- Kevin Holohan, Associate Professor of Educational Foundations, Grand Valley State University
