'Lambert and Machon's [book] is a timely and considered contribution ... the book provides chapters setting the background to citizenship in geography education from a stimulating range of different viewpoints ... [it] is an essential read for those at the intersection of citizenship and geography in secondary schools.' - Angus Willson, The Development Education Journal'Though this book has been prompted by developments in the English National Curriculum, its import goes far beyond the narrow confines of British educational policy. The questions it poses and the issues it raises are of universal significance and merit being read by all teachers of geography and social studies ... This is a thought provoking book with at the same time plenty of pointers for classroom action.' - International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education
