Reviews for Learning for Life in the 21st Century: Sociocultural Perspectives on the Future of Education

"""Throughout, the editors achieve their stated goals, moving from the conceptual to the practical, and from treating younger to older age groups. Chapter contributors, from universities and research centers in seven countries including the US, appear to be experts in their areas. They present both their own research findings and reviews of others' research. [...] The book is generally organized well, with a synoptic afterword by Luis Moll [...] Interested readers should find the book useful. Summing up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."" P. M. Socoski, City College, Choice, March 2003 ""Learning for Life in the 21st Century is an impressive and ambitious book."" Carey Jewitt, University of London, Educational Review, Vol.55, November 2003"
