A gem of a book, Michael Stueben’s Twenty Years Before the Blackboard is
shrewd, humane, understanding, awash with humour and anecdotes and is about, of
all things, mathematics and how it is taught. Lucky students have heard Stueben
in full, fascinating flow at schools in Virginia since 1979. Any effort not to
learn or laugh is doomed. Published by The Mathematical Society of America,
$29.50, ISBN 0883855259.
