"This book should be a valuable reference for PhD fellows and their supervisors-and anyone interested in the nature and impact of mathematics education. ... I am confident that The Philosophy of Mathematics Education Today will stimulate reflection and reaction, and inform a broad range of readers, including experienced researchers in mathematics education and mathematics, mathematics teachers, PhD advisors, and fellows." (Simon Goodchild, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 103, 2020)
