Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"The book is a Festschrift, written in honor of Alan Bishop by colleagues and graduates, who tell the story of his life and academic work ... . To conclude, not only are the editors' goals met, but the book also succeeds in developing interesting insights that can be extended beyond the field of mathematics education. The extent and reach of Bishop's ideas presented and discussed in this Festschrift give a clear impression of the kind of shoulders on which his followers stood."
