"This book is a valuable resource for all those involved in education. It draws together many of the current ideas about the effect of change on teachers' lives and lets them speak for themselves about the development of their professional identity." - British Journal of Educational Studies "This book is a thoughtful, passionate and vividly documented account of the impact on teachers and teaching of one of the most significant eras of educational change in history...This book will deservedly take its place in the growing literature on thepersonal educational effects of government policy in the past decade. I found it thought-provoking and readable...a fascinating book" - British Journal of Sociology of Education
