Reviews

'Egan has not only supplied us with an agenda for more fully exploring the issues he raises but has also given us support for some of the best of current practice.' Teachers College Record '...the book should be compulsory reading for all those concerned with the education of young children...Egan's thinking and theory goes well beyond Piaget, Bruner, Hirst and others who have written about education and the curriculum; it gives an authentic sense of the world of childhood, without sentimentality or ideological bias.' John Wilson
