Review :
'...Phillips' writing brings together in a natural way the works of those who research and write about broader edcuational issues (ranging from Vygotsky to Gardner), those who have investigated and told us about reflective practice (e.g. Schön, Postlewaite) and others to write about the teaching of history (e.g. Aldrich, Booth, Culpin, Counsell, Unwin). To this extent the book is unique in the literature on the teaching of history...accessible...stimulating.'
