This is a magnificent book. It is brief, devourable and rich in both its erudition and thought-provoking ideas. As soon as I had finished it for the first time, I immediately began again... This is a book which can be read at a number of different levels and where the author's love of and deep knowledge about his subject shines through every page. -- Bob Burden * British Journal of Educational Psychology *
