<p><strong>'A very useful book for all those interested in the issue of parental choice and how the so-called market has affected schools ... I would certainly recommend the book to readers.'</strong> - <em>Educational Management and Administration</em><br /><br /><strong>'This book will undoubtedly help to shape the future research agenda and should cause policy-makers to reflect carefully.'</strong> - <em> British Journal of Educational Studies</em><br /><br /><strong>'This is a very useful book for all those interested in the issue of parental choice and how the so-called market has affected schools ... I would certainly recommend the book to readers.' Educational Management & Administration</strong><br /><br /><strong>'Glatter, Woods and Bagley have produced an outstanding collection which will become a key reader for students, researchers and policy-makers.'</strong> - <em>Journal of Education and Work</em><br /><br /><strong>'I would strongly recommend this book to fellow researchers in this field. To have accounts from a number of important pieces of research together in one volume is interesting and instructive in itself - and the conciseness which contributors brought to each account is impressive - but the conceptual analysis offered by, amongst others, Glatter et al., Halpin et al., Levin and Riffel, Evans and Vincent are stimulating and helpful in developing our thinking.'</strong> - <em>British Journal of Educational Studies</em><br /><br /><strong>'This is a very useful book for all those interested in the issue of parental choice and how the so-called market has affected schools ... I would certainly recommend the book to readers as it provides an interesting picture of the current position across a range of countries.'</strong> - <em>Educational Management and Administration, April 1998</em></p>
