Recenzje

'...an excellent set of up-to-date and relevant articles...The bibliographies are comprehensive and include many GA publications. The major use will be to provide a welcome addition to the literature both for PGCE students and the hard pressed teacher wishing to know the state of play in geographical education. It should be an essential purchase for all PGCE students and added immediately to the department library' - James Price, Geography.
