`This book makes a fascinating and compelling read.... The insights provided are fascinating and reminded me of how, as a bust teacher, it is often difficult to see the wood for the trees!... For anyone with an interest in teaching science as a professional enterprise this book is a must' - Joe McDowell, Science Education, Research and Practice

"It is a tale that ought t be read by policy makers, researchers, and teachers alike in order to bring into the clear light of debate policies of governments that subject schools to harsh control based on theories imported from the marketplace and deployed through heavy-handed bureaucracy without regard to the teaching profession."
