I am still reading it, but I can say it is an interesting book that will be of good use for people interested in communicating knowledge to others.
Educational Role of the Museum, is a book filled with articles about museums theory. Each article is written by a different person and this variety of perspective is nice to have in one volume. Generally a good book, dry at times, but that is to be expected. I anticipate using this book for years to come, especially when I need to refresh myself on certain museum related topics.
Offers a wide variety of perspectives on Museum Education. All the basic people are in here. Would also recommend Carol Duncan's "Museum as Ritual".
