My expectations for this book were very high from the moment I received it. As part of the Independent Thinking Series and with the now infamous Phil Beadle as the author the pressure that such a small book was under was quite immense.
I finished the book within a couple of hours and to be honest couldn't wait to get rid of it. Why? Simple really; the power of this book to transform the practise and views of my teaching staff is potentially huge. Phil has written a book that is accessible to all, compelling in its arguments, provocative in its thoughts and, best of all, heavily supported with practical examples and ready to go resources. In short, this book opens a universe of possibility, threading creativity through the very fabric of life and ultimately making learning fun and memorable. And it made me laugh. Not bad for a book that fits in your pocket!
