Pedagogy and Educational Sciences in the Post-Soviet Baltic States, 1990–2004: Changes and Challenges 1990–2004: Changes Baltic States, in the Post-Soviet Sciences and Educational Pedagogy Throughout the book, there is a pervasive historical view of the development of specific areas of education in three sections: pre-independence ideals and activities; shaping the educational field of an independent state from legislation to educational content and educational sciences; re-entering the Western world and integrating into EU educational processes. A different substantive approach shows changes in views and practices at the level of individuality, family, institution, and nation. I would like to emphasize in particular Pedagogy and Educational Sciences the importance of the book as a source of information on the 15-year upheaval in education. It clearly shows, on the one hand, the objectivity in the Post-Soviet Baltic States of the scientific approach and, on the other hand, the “grounding” of this objectivity due to the personal participation of the writers and researchers in the processes under consideration. All the mentioned qualities make the book an important information resource for the widest audience: the description of the historical development, the identified ideals, problems and decisions, and the rich list of sources can be used by students, university lecturers, teachers, and researchers in the Baltic states, as well as internationally.
