Reviews

"[A] substantial revision and improvement of an invaluable reference work....The Ohleses and John Ramsey have chosen well, and produced readable, interesting and altogether useful biographies. There really is no other biographical work quite like this, and I think that anyone interested in the field of education in the United States will consult it with profit and read it with pleasure."-Stanley N. Katz President, American Council of Learned Societies

?This dictionary provides informative, workmanlike biographies of leaders of one of the most honorable professions.?-Rettig on Reference

?This reference book updates the 1978 Greenwood title Biographical Dictionary of American Educators, edited by John Ohles. Like that volume, it fills a gap in available resources, with biographical information focusing on persons who 'made their mark' in the field of education in the U.S.... Most libraries in universities with strong programs in the field of education will want to add this book to their collection.?-Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
