Review: "In this important new analysis, Gary Thomas suggests that the pursuit of theory in education is the pursuit of a chimera. This book examines what theory means for both student and researcher and questions whether the confidence in educational theory is justified. Education and Theory is for academics, researchers, teachers and students of education."--BOOK JACKET.
