Writing Strategies by Laurel Richardson is Must Reading
For students struggling to understand what it means to do qualitative research, Laurel Richardson's book on Writing Strategies is an excellent resource. The book is very helpful in differentiating conventional forms of scientific writing from the more interpretive forms of writing that are typical of qualitative research. The book is very readable.

Great Textbook, BUT Not Much Is New In This Edition
As always, Feminist Frontiers is a great collection of essays -- a great textbook for any Women's Studies class. However, not much has been updated in this 5th edition. As far as I can tell, it is virtually the same as the 4th edition. I think getting a used copy of Feminist Frontiers IV (ISBN 0070523797) is a much better value. Either way, you will thoroughly enjoy the readings in this book.

Symposium Books, 1993

A distinct pattern emerged in the British education and training reform process in the latter half of the 1980s.

More recently, the flow of policy ideas across the Atlantic appears to have reversed direction. This book develops a three-tiered approach ...
