This isn't the worst book I've ever had for one of my classes...as a matter of fact it fairly easy to read and understand. I just felt some of the rhetoric could have been minimized.

Great information; however, this is one of the most incredibly dense textbooks I have ever read.

It would be amusing, if this wasn't the reality that creates monsters: the conveyor belt for processing human beings.

This is a textbook, but it reads well. The information is solid and helpful and well organized. I enjoyed learning many new ideas and gaining new insights into organizational leadership. I appreciate the focus of this book on the field of education. I believe this will be a very helpful resource moving forward.

The history of education and every researcher remotely connected to education. A good review after 18 years out of college, but some chapters require "no dose". Will need this book to review for doctoral comps next year!!!
