Reviews

Our concepts and practices of time and space are socially constructed and understood by us, not as they were a decade ago, and not as they will a decade from now. Notions of classrooms, learning programs and centers, and educational institutions themselves are increasingly becoming challenged and re-imagined, and the theories and research from this volume can help guide our re-imaginings . . . readers will think differently of space and place. - Joseph Falout, Nihon University, Japan
