A great book. Worth reading!
Turning Points walks us through a historic journey in curriculum field in a unique way. I like the way it combines interviews, documents, social history, and curriculum ideas.

An excellent choice for curriculum researchers, educators and students.

It is incredibly reader-friendly and captures the history of curriculum thought and work from 1950s onward.
