"There emerges, over many pages, a nuanced picture in which dialogue and the tensions of the I-It relationship are at the centre. The book is written in a fresh and unpretentious way, avoiding overcomplicated sentence structures. Consequently, a clear style prevails and the arguments and thoughts are very well explained and developed logically and stringently. The authors show a profound knowledge of Buber’s writings, but this is not obscured by minor detail." - Dr Arnim Kaiser, Weiterbildung Zeitschrift'[...] Buber's though does not offer us precise advice; rather, it 'points the way' and this is the pathway taken by Morgan and Guilherme. The true value of Buber and Education is its essential reminder that despite practical difficulties, dialogical education is loaded with hope. Morgan and Guilherme recognise that it is through education that we can acheive true peace, which is something radically different from a political ceasefire.' - Yaniv Feller, Revue Diogène - Théories et pratiques de la non-violence
