<p>Professor Harry Daniels, University of Bath, UK:</p><p>This would be one of the rare books that students might well elect to buy – it would certainly be bought by staff - on all courses related to education and pedagogy</p><p>The conceptualisation of pedagogy in this book and the research base from the writing is developed is world leading</p><p>It will last for some time and should be open to a relatively straightforward second edition</p><p>Is the author a recognised authority in this field?</p><p>Most definitely</p><p>Do you recommend that we should publish this book?<br />YES</p><p>Professor Donald McIntyre, University of Cambridge, UK:</p><p>There is a real need for this book. Pedagogy is going to be one of </p><p>the central issues of educational debate in the next few years, especially </p><p>in the UK, but also in the USA. In the UK, the DfEE are themselves </p><p>promoting debate about pedagogy, as are the GTCE and also many academic </p><p>critics of the government. Furthermore, pedagogy is very much a </p><p>continental European concept and British discussion of it is likely to </p><p>bridge the gap between Anglo-American and European educational discussion </p><p>as nothing else could. Robin Alexander is undoubtedly the leading </p><p>Anglo-American thinker and writer on the subject of pedagogy and is very </p><p>highly esteemed on both sides of the Atlantic, especially since the </p><p>publication of his very important book, Culture and Pedagogy. Everything </p><p>he himself suggests about the likely sales of this proposed book is correct.</p><p>I predict sales of 50,000 in the UK, 20,000 in the USA and 20,000 elsewhere.</p><p>The book will be used, in most initial teacher education and advanced </p><p>courses, as recommended reading.</p><p>I don’t think that there are yet any real competitors for this. And, although there will be </p><p>competitors in the next few years, this book will be distinctive and </p><p>important for a long time, because of the distinctive reputation of its </p><p>author. He is the recognised authority in the field.</p><p>Without any doubt, publish this book.</p><p>Professor Andrew Pollard, Institute of Education, University of London, UK:</p><p>I’m sorry but I am a bit too pressed to do this just at the moment. </p><p>I will say however that Robin Alexander is probably the best academic writing on pedagogy in the UK at present – and I’d snap him up whilst you have the chance!</p>
