Book Reviews of The Cambridge Companion to Vygotsky (Cambridge Companion)

Book Review: Excellent overview
Summary: 4 Stars

This is an excellent overview of the current state of Vygotsky studies by well-recognised names in the field. Anyone looking for an in-depth introduction to Vygotsky's work would be well advised to start here. The range of his work is covered, from the relationships between thought and language to special needs education and everything in between. The book is spoiled, however, by the Editors' Introduction. This appears to be rushed. There are numerous typos and grammatical errors and at least one missing reference. This is disappointing in a book of this calibre. However, this aside, it is an excellent book and good value for money.

Summary of The Cambridge Companion to Vygotsky (Cambridge Companion)

L. S. Vygotsky was an early twentieth century Russian social theorist whose writing exerts a significant influence on the development of social theory in the early twenty first century. His non-deterministic, non-reductionist account of the formation of mind provides current theorietical developments with a broadly drawn yet very powerful sketch of the ways in which humans shape and are shaped by social, cultural, and historical conditions. The Cambridge Companion to Vygotsky is a comprehensive text that provides students, academics, and practioners with a critical perspective on Vygotsky and his work.
