review text: The ICME-13/13th international congress of mathematics education took place in Hamburg, Germany, in July 2016. In the program Topic Study Groups (TSG) were organized, in which participants contributed papers. TSG 25 was about the role of history of mathematics in mathematics education. After a peer-review process, 37 papers (regular presentations, short oral communications and posters), from 16 countries all over the world, were included in the program. This monograph is a selection of 17 papers from 9 countries presented in shorter version in the congress. The editors organized the papers in 5 parts: 1. Theoretical and conceptual frameworks for integrating history and epistemology in mathematics in mathematics education; 2. Courses and didactical material: Design, implementation and evaluation; 3. Empirical investigations on implementing history and epistemology in mathematics education; 4. Original historical sources in teaching and learning of and about mathematics; 5. History and epistemology of mathematics: Interdisciplinary teaching and sociocultural aspects. The editors produced an introductory chapter on Integrating History and Epistemology of Mathematics in Mathematics Education, in which they outline the formation and historical development of the HPM: International Study Group in the Relation between History and Pedagogy of Mathematics, affiliated of ICMI: International Commission of Mathematics Instruction, and comment on the key issues of HPM Perspective. This book covers all levels of education, from primary school to tertiary education, with a particular focus on teacher education. It is a valuable contribution to the literature on mathematics education.
