So, I really can't review a book that I haven't even read!

My personal interests lie in the pre-1960 eras, especially pre-1930s. This is the best reference I have found on this topic - it thoroughly explains each educational philosophy and tactic, and the historical ramifications of those actions.

Another problem is the organization. Generally I prefer my textbooks to be fairly linear, this is not. It bounces back and forth in time. If you were fairly familiar with art ed. history and using this as reference for a paper. not really a problem but if you are trying to grasp event A followed by event B, you will need some other supplementary material. good luck.
