The final chapters represent practical tools for educators: a directory of agencies and organizations associated with bilingual education and a selected bibliography of print and nonprint resources. These tools, combined with the wealth of information in the background analysis, make this a valuable reference for professionals, practitioners, researchers, and undergraduate and graduate students." - Choice
