“The Networking Theories Group has produced a highly commendable book for anyone interested in theories in mathematics education. … for those with an open mind and willingness to make this effort, a lot could be learned. … this book is a forerunner for more such work, not only on networking but also on the emergence of new theories or development of existing ones.” (Arthur Bakker, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 93, 2016)
