Don't Believe This Man
I have never read such an unbelievable essay of self-congratulations in my life!I've spoken to some of the personalities mentioned in this book, and they have a different story of what occured way back in 1987-89 in the homeschooling community in Pennsylvania.Howard Richman trashes Christians in this book and appoints and portrays himself as the intellectual arm of the Pennsylvania Homeschooling Community.He is currently making an incredible income off of the very law he helped to write....have your barf bag ready if you read this book.

This Guy Is Breaking His Arm Patting Himself on His Back
I've researched the events and 'characters' that appear in this book.A better explanation of how Pennsylvania got the worst homeschooling law (thanks to Richman) can be found in Karl Reed's book, Chapter ten.

Learn how Eldredge and Richman strong-armed the true organizer of change - Ann Cameron - out of the process.

Scary man makes scary law to scare homeschoolers
this teacher union member has the audacity to boast about a law that he put in place and from which he makes a ton of money.Keep your money and don't buy his book - its filled with misinformation and self-serving lauding.

Do Not Waste Your Time...
A very slanted book used to position the author into a perceived state of authority which he has bestowed upon himself.Keep your money.

This Book Is Highly Inaccurate.......
Why order this book?I have read the entire thing on-line and it scaresme.Don't buy it because you can read the whole thing at this nut'swebsite.

I've talked to many homeschoolers in PA and they tell me thatthis guy and the Department of Education cannot be trusted.It's time forthe homeschoolers in PA to speak up for themselves, and for heaven's sake,don't believe all the stuff in this book.Mr. Howard Richman has afondness for discussing himself.

Mostly reprints of old articles
Many articles in this 2. edition are just reprints of articles from the 1 edition. It is a real problem that the articles are not dated or have otherwise been indicated whether they are new in this edition (from 2003) or have just been reprinted without updating from the first edition which was published in 73 volumes from 1968 until 2003. (Vol 1-33 A-Z; Vol. 34+35 = Index; Vol 36-73 = supplements)

For example, the article "Philosophy of Science" was pubished in 1977. It is reprinted in the 2nd edition without any changes in content (only typographical changes such as two columns). In the 2nd edition we are misinformed that this entry is "Print Published: 05/20/2003 | Online Published: 06/23/2003". The readers are thus misled concerning what they are reading. This is tru for many articles, I guess much more than 50%.

The only way you can tell whether the article is revised or updated is by looking at the references and see if new references are included - in most cases they are not (alternatively, of course compare the articles in the two editions page by page).

Both the first edition and the second edition have a heavy emphazis on specific libraries in specific countries and is weak in theoretical and conceptual issues.

When this is said, it should be said that there are many important articles in this work and it is an obvious advantage that it is available online and the papers available as pdf-files. I have now read usefull articles that I would not have read if I had to make paper copies from the old edition. ... Read more
