Chinese University of Hong Kong"In an age when so much new knowledge is being generated and a growing population is hungrier than ever for progress (in many ways) the transfer of knowledge! the sharing of knowledge and the curricularisation of new knowledge by educational institutions is so very important if new and better ways of practice and behaviour are to become put to best possible use. This book may serve academics including teachers and researchers especially well! but as a practitioner I also found its rich panorama of topics! and the questions raised! very stimulating and thought provoking. There is something here for those "doing the business" for sure." - Allen Barrell!
