'The book is thus intended to assist educators in reflecting on the 'big picture' by balancing the conclusions of research literature with interview data ... I welcomed the way in which the authors artfully combined theoretical literature with qualitative research in an informed and readable manner.' - Journal of Curriculum Studies Vol 31:2 1999
