Title: Good informative book on Bilingual Ed, but newer version available
Review: I bought this book knowing there was a 5th edition available. If you are looking to learn about the history and views of bilingual education this is a wonderful book. The views of bilingual ed and ESL classes has changed very little. Well written in an easy to understand and engaging style. However make sure that you do not use it as a replacement for the 5th edition. The 5th edition has 80 more pages and Three chapters (the first three)that are not included here. Furthermore, most of the statistics are from the 80's or early 90's. Still a good read. I actually enjoyed it more than the 5th which I had to read for a class.
