Its eight volumes contain over 850 articles written or reworked by more than 1,000 contributors. Nearly every article has been completely rewritten, with many new topics added. The six appendixes include information on achievement tests, state departments of education, legislation and court cases important to the field of education, and a 138-page index."--"The Top 20 Reference Titles of the Year," American Libraries, May 2004.Macmillan Reference Library Staff is the author of 'Encyclopedia of Education', published 2002 under ISBN 9780028655949 and ISBN 002865594X.
