[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just finished reading the 2nd edition. All 700+ pages for an education PhD course in THREE WEEKS. And I wanted my Goodreads friends to know that I really have been reading, even if I have not been posting any fun summer reading. While I bordered on cognitive overload, this book will be an important part of my reference library.

Hard book, but a text worth reading for my PhD.
