Reviews

This book offers a mind-stretching breadth of content, a refreshingly respectful approach to debate, and an insightful analysis of the perennial 'purposes' question. Steve Turnbull, Schools Week The book has good section divisions, with small illustrative comics woven in and good summarizing questions after the chapters. All in all, it is a book with a very inviting and readable form. - Lark Grandjean, folkeskolen
