"Gottlieb, Iyengar and Witenstein offer a robust and accessible academic resource through Comparative and International Education: An Introduction. In this six-part book, Gottlieb and colleagues have compiled a resource that serves as a primer for an important sub-field in the study of education, paying particular attention to its history, widely used theories and methods, and practices. The text concludes with a set of succinct contributions from experts who discuss a variety of topics, including education finance, virtual education delivery, and climate-focused education. As a whole, Comparative and International Education: An Introduction is sophisticated, practical, and well-written. This is an invaluable resource for early career professionals and seasoned scholars alike." --Meseret F.
