Media Reviews
Well written with clear signposting provided to learners in order that they can extend their research around the subject beyond the material provided. The aims of the work are challenging but are met in a way which sets this apart from other material on the market. There is something here for all learners. * Caroline McGrath, Lecturer Early Childhood Studies, City of Bristol College *
Overall I found it up-to-date, written at the correct level, balancing theory with reflective practice and covering the main debates. So 'thank you' to Dr Veale! * Fiona Martin, Guernsey College of FE *
These are the best authors in the field for each chapter and, therefore, this book is a very valuable resource. * Gillian Gresham, Cambridge Regional College *
