"""...a `must purchase' for three groups: (a) cognitive scientists who wish to broaden their understanding of the nature of mathematics and of the real world in which classroom teachers must work; (b) mathematicians who wish to become better informed about what it means to do research on mathematics learning and instruction; and (c) mathematics educators (researchers and practitioners) who are interested in a distillation of recent research in cognitive science."" —Journal for Research in Mathematics Education"
