Reviews

""" This appropriately titled book is an engaging, compelling and clear read for any teacher involved in formal education and challenges the reader to conceive and construct approaches to learning that are arguably relevant for a changing world in the twenty-first century […] This is an excellent book that is well worth investing in. It is highly perceptive and pleasingly written and suggests an agenda of adventure for teaching both inside and outside the classroom. This work is highly recommended for outdoor practitioners and teachers alike, and would also be a valuable and meaningful read for policymakers, curriculum designers and educational leaders."" - Mark Leather and Karen Stockham, Journal of Education for Teaching"
