Brief reviews are short synopses and reviews of new
books in education that may or may not receive longer treatment
elsewhere
in the Education Review.
Brief Reviews call attention to current practical books for teachers and
administrators. This section contains brief evaluative summaries of
books
from the current and previous years.
Brief reviews are prepared under the
direction of Kate Corby of Michigan State University, the
Education
Review Brief Reviews Editor.
New brief reviews will appear on about a monthly schedule. Links to
