One of those books that stops you dead in your tracks and makes you say out loud - why didn't I know that before? So easy to read. So logically argued. So satisfyingly sensible and thought-provoking. Read it, think about it, and then read it again. An absolute revelation. Professor Sue Black, bestselling author of All That Remains
