Media Reviews
'This latest publication not only testifies that the tradition for good course books is still strong and vivid. It also testifies that the special art to write in such a way that repeated readings continuously reveal new aspects of the subject matter has been achieved... It is a pleasure to recommend the book as course book for courses in comparative education outside the English speaking world.' Thyge Winther-Jensen
