I actually ordered the nineth edition and got the eight instead. I have been able to make it work although I have had to have other students give me some of the homework assignments because the version I have doesn’t have “focusing on the issues” and the pages are different and the info is outdated. Hopefully next time I order throught here I will recieve the right one. Other then that, it came on time and was easy to order.

There was no text assigned for my History & Philosophy of Educ. class, just a bunch of books on reserve in the library for us to utilize to write our essays. This book (7th Ed.) was by far the most resourceful, covering the Colonial Period right up to the present. It has so much information relevant to education but also what was going on during each time period so that you get a better understanding of why these movements in education occured. After each chapter is a “Then & Now” where they tie in for isntance how aspects of education in the 1600’s are still prominent in today’s education system. It’s a great book and definatly interesting, I just wanted to be able to sit down and read it cover to cover.
