This is a wonderfully clear introduction to some of the most powerful ideas that have shaped education today. Written in an engaging and inviting style, it encourages readers to analyze and synthesize for themselves the ideas that form the major paradigms of educational thought. Five Paradigms for Education is additionally valuable because it brings unexpected insights into reflection on current educational issues, from, among others, Mende thinking as well as the more familiar Rousseau, from ancient Israeli thinking as well as Plato, from Jesus as well as Homer, broadening and deepening conversations about what we should do in everyday classrooms. A great text for pre-service teachers, as well as other educators. Neat, clear, engaging, and helpful. —Kieran Egan, Simon Fraser University
