Abstract
I found the book Selected Issues in Mathematics Education, jointly published with the National Society for the Study of Education, to be a worthy candidate for one's library. It provides interesting perspectives on a wide range of centrally important topics without getting bogged down in “disease of the week” issues that are parochial in nature. The book is not issue oriented in the sense of presenting various positions for the reader to consider and judge. Many of the chapters convey the authors' views of the state of the art in a particular research area. In some sense, the book could be a companion volume to NCTM's professional reference, Research in Mathematics Education. Still, if one is willing to look beyond what the title suggests, Selected Issues generally makes for good reading, as several authors are willing to share their insights into some rather knotty problems that are likely to be with our profession for some time.
