"This is a book which will give no comfort—either to the enemies of the education professoriate (whose bad-tempered criticisms are not supported by hard evidence), or to its members (who may have only a little time to set their rambling house in order)." — Harry Judge from the Introduction"Since I have been a professor of education for 21 years, I approached the book with the hope that I might learn something about my professional role—its history, characteristics, etc. I was not disappointed." — Alan R. Tom"The authors have addressed and highlighted a problem that has been festering below the surface for a long time. They have done so in an interesting and scholarly way. Just by bringing the problem to light in this multifaceted way they have broken new ground." — Berj Harootunian
