"Excellent, got me to university and through it … It was an easy
read, explained the concepts in very simple terms and illustrated
debate with clarity, whilst remaining a readable reference book …
it was so good that I loaned my copy out and it was never
returned…"
Review by an Access student on Amazon.co.uk "This book has been of
great help to me during my first year at Greenwich University where
I am studying a B.A. in Childhood Studies, especially the chapters
on the family and education. I will be buying the new edition of
this soon. It is definitely worth the money."
