Reviews

From the reviews: “This Australian book refers to new pedagogic aspects … . This Volume 6 of the Lifelong Learning Book Series is an Australian contribution to keep scholars and professionals informed about and abreast of current developments and to advance research … . Addressing is a whole spectrum of educational specialists (of course teachers and students … as well as curriculum designers, psychologists, sociologists – even employers’ managers and recruiters) plus the marginally involved and general intelligent readers.” (Karl H. Wolf, Academici, October, 2009)
