Review :
"...has given a voice to the concept that lies at the very heart of the Outward Bound movement." Nick Barrett, CEO, The Outward Bound Trust; "This book is more of a call to arms, a source of wisdom, than it is a how-to manual. Kevin Long makes an excellent case for what I’d call a living, flourishing, education. He draws on a vast wealth of authoritative figures to make his own case, and to show us how to make the case for ourselves. There is no patronizing, just page after page of stop and think moments." Matt Bawden, Editor, Character Matters, Journal of The Association of Character Education; "An important message. A new and very interesting approach of practical value to educators" Dr. Tom Harrison - Head of Education, Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, University of Birmingham"Now, more than ever, we need a book like this to remind us that education is not about test scores--it is about bringing out the best in students as learners, citizens, and human beings.." Ron Berger- Chief Education Executive, EL Education
