[Maths-Education] Re: Books Noticed in Maths-Education Digest

[Ernest, Paul]

Hi David and colleagues

I had some qualms about advertising the book Critical Mathematics Education on this network - because it is for sharing ideas not advertising personal projects

I decided I would post it because it represents a significant group effort, and includes papers by many leading theorists in the field, including Ole Skovsmose and Ubi D'Ambrosio, as well as papers by up to 20 others, rather than simply being my own pet project

That was my thinking - since you ask the  general question of what should be advertised   ;-)

Best wishes

Paul

Subject: [Maths-Education] Books Noticed in Maths-Education Digest

Dear Sirs
Many thanks for the extremely interesting notice concerning Critical Mathematics Education by Ernest and Sriraman. I shall certainly read this book.
However, receipt of this news prompts me to wonder what you criteria are for publicising particular books? [Obviously you cannot publicise every book published on maths education.]
My book, Motivating Mathematics: Engaging Teachers, Engaged Students, was published last December by Imperial College Press.
It has received excellent reviews - the latest in the February issue of Mathematics Teacher - and I would be very happy to supply a notice in the above format of Critical Mathematics Education, if you were to decide that it would be appropriate for a Maths-Education Digest notice.
Yours sincerely
David Wells
