Review Quotes:
'This should prove an important contribution - others have taken a similar agenda within special education - the more general remit of this text is to be welcomed.' Prof Harry Daniels, University of Bath, UK
'The author set s out a clear rationale for the book - I agree. As she notes, there is a gap in the market - I can't think of a comparable book. Has the possibility of being a main text. The author is very well regarded as a thoughtful and careful researcher and author. Impressive coverage of a difficult field. This is a timely book. Interest in activity theory is taking off and there is a need for a good text. I'm impressed by the proposal.' Prof Geoff Lindsay, University of Warwick.
