[T]his book offers a practical and beautifully multi-layered introduction to research on educational dialogue. Students will find the book to be a helpful introduction to the many topics, methods, and questions currently addressed in this field ... Most of all, this research manual truly is dialogic in its very nature, giving the reader a sense of the many conversations that currently exist among researchers in this field ... In this way, the book is an important contribution to the field of educational research in general, where voices that insist on context and complexity are much-needed. * Classroom Discourse *
