Magdalene Lampert is professor of educational studies, School of Education, University of Michigan.
"Although the setting is mathematics, the value of Lampert’s book
is broad, addressing the core issues that face anyone in education.
This is one of the most important books about education to appear
in the past decade. What Lampert writes is deep and compelling. The
story is engaging, even griping; I couldn’t put it down."—Jim
Stigler, author of The Learning Gap
