Recenzii
'This excellent and urgently needed book celebrates existing achievements and challenges impairment-led thinking and outmoded learning and teaching practices, setting out a clear framework for change. The editors state that the initial aim of the book was to "stimulate discussion" and leave "an indelible legacy for the academic community". They have achieved this admirably. The range and quality of the contributions, and the clarity of the arguments put forward, represent a real challenge to complacency for all those working in higher education.' - Higher Education Review
'This hugely commendable and generally well-edited book of purely British practice consists of an editorial Introduction and fifteen essay-style chapters, and concludes with a 21-point 'manifesto for mainstreaming inclusive practice''. - British Journal of Educational Technology
