Inventions of Teaching A Genealogy

"This is a Brilliant book. The arguments are compelling and are so cleverly presented that the conclusions seem self-evident. Indeed, I found myself wondering how I had managed to work in the field of teacher education for so many years without understanding the genealogy that is presented within these pages....As far as I know, this book breaks new ground in the field of teaching and teacher education. I can imagine that it could spawn a whole new way of looking at issues of teaching, and as such, be the first 'classic' text on the inventions of teaching....This book is a gem." - Rena Upitis Queens University, Canada; "This is a most intriguing, provocative, informative, interesting text....I am impressed with the interactive relationship Davis develops between Western intellectual thought and teaching practices. There is an easy flow here between the intellectual and the practical, each reinforcing the other....This work is unique and on the forefront but it is also on the edge of a wave." - Bill Doll Louisiana State University"
