From the reviews: "Steinbring's book is both well structured and well organized. Content-wise it is written with a natural and easy-to-follow flow. ... I definitely find it worthwhile reading in that it deals with manifold interesting, difficult and complex issues relevant for the everyday teaching and learning of mathematics, especially from the point of doing theoretical based research." (Jonas Bergman Arleback, The International Journal on Mathematics Education, Vol. 44 (5), 2012) "The author presents an interesting epistemological analysis of mathematical interactions in elementary classrooms. ... The book is well organized and clearly developed with rich resources both theoretical and applied. ... will be of interest for mathematics education people involved in epistemological research, for teacher training professionals as well for teachers of elementary school interested in mathematical interactions in their classroom and how to improve their teaching role."
