Review
Secondary Education: The Key Concepts provides an evidence based tour of the territory from an experienced educationalist who understands how to make this seemingly complex field highly accessible. I would recommend this book for all those who want to come to an informed and critical view of the current terms in use.
Gordon Joyes, University of Nottingham, UK
'Wellington's treatment of the concepts that he does include is lucid, accessible and on the whole helpful. He is not afraid to include his own views where he considers this pertinent, and in the main offers a reasoned, sensible account of a range of concepts and their histories. His decision to add references and possible websites to each entry for further exploration adds a useful dimension to this volume.' - British Journal of Educational Technology
