Reviews

...this book describes a theoretical shift in cognition away from individualistic psychology historically based on the dualist distinction, toward a broader view of cognition base on the social and cultural context of thinking. -CHOICE ...a truly unique edited book...I am delighted to see a major landmark collection such as this include the semiotic among the perspectives offered. -Educational Researcher
