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 *
