'.It's a stunning read...If I were pressed to draw up a list of ten ELT titles with which to spend a year on a desert island this one would easily some into my top three.' * Wayne Trotman, EL Gazette, January 2005 *
'The volume remains the single most authoritative and comprehensive account of the history of English language teaching, and will surely continue to serve as a prime source for the profession for many years to come...This is a work of considerable research and scholarship characterized by rigour and balance, comprehensive yet uncluttered.' * Rani Rubdy, Director of Graduate Programmes, Institute for English Language Education, Assumption University, Bangkok. *
'I found this book extremely readable...This book is fascinating, packed with human interest stories about the people who shaped our profession, while at the same time giving a clear explanation of the theoretical perspectives that inspired them.' * IATEFL Issues, February/March 2005 *
'To sum up, this fine book should be required reading for all members of the profession, if by profession, we include all the personages and movements that have made us what we are.' * BAAL Reviews, 2005 *
