""This book is a refreshing counterblast to some of the prevailing rhetoric in global higher education -- the rhetoric of markets, consumers and 'delivery' of educational products. It draws our attention to the shifts happening in higher education -- not just in our own back yard, but across the globe."" - Marion Bowl, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Journal of Adult Learning
