Reviews
Review 1 Southampton (middle ranking dept).We will include more on contemporary theorising. We are aware of the Hale et al book, We can do as good a job (but some will always like an Oxford Univ Press publication). Review 2 (Kent – high ranking dept.) not entirely negative, main gist is that books is too low a level – I was hoping for this comment. Review 3 (Huddersfield (low ranking dept) very positive and coming from a similar perspective/approach – would adopt the book 2 x 120 students Review 4 (Coventry middle ranking dept)- some useful points – would like to see the book developed and published. The reviews seem to confirm that there is a gap for the proposed multidisciplinary intro textbook that aims at low/middle ranking universities that teach a the multidisciplinary approach. The author has taken the suggestions by reviewer 3 and 4 and to a certain extent 1 on board and has revised the proposal accordingly.
