Trade Review"This is the most refreshing book about education I have read for many years. Any teacher or future teacher, indeed anyone involved in or interested in education, will learn much from reading it. It deftly illustrates that the only way to a more just system is when knowledge is placed at the heart of all we do as teachers." Michael Young, Institute of Education
"Will serve as a clear and powerful introduction to an important set of ideas." Journal of Social Policy
