“This valuable book by two education academics from Monash University, with wide experience in Science, History and Geography, examines the nature of inquiry teaching and learning across the three disciplines. … This book is a valuable addition to the literature on inquiry learning and geography education while probably being too technical for most teachers.” (Bill Stringer, Geographical Education, Vol. 31, 2018)
