Review:

A copy should be on the library shelf of any historian of education with serious interests in the issues raised by the study of teacher education. -- Roy Lowe, University of Wales Swansea Paedagogica Historia, Issue 39:4 Aldrich has written a solid professional history of his own institution that should be of great interest to scholars of education and historians of teacher training or educational policy, as well as those with a particular interest in the great Byzantine mosaic that constitutes the University of London. -- E.J. Morse History of Education Quarterly I can recommend this book to those working within education, especially to those with particular interests in educational ideas, institutional history or teacher education. -- Professor Roger Openshaw, Massey University History of Education Review, Issue 32:1 ...Aldrich's book tells a good story and in doing so provides a valuable reference work for any student interested in the history of teacher education.
