I'm (somewhat) familiar several reform texts. Foerster is from Key
Curriculum Press; the North Carolina School for Science & Mathematics and
Duke project is published by Janson. And the Harvard project text is
published by Wiley, but I think People's Publishing distributes it for
high school. I could get ISBN's if you really needed them.
