Praise for the first edition:

`…an abundant supply of a quality that is often lacking in such books: thoughtful originality, backed up by meaningful experience on the part of the authorThe book as a whole is mercifully free of unnecessary jargon, and is accessible and friendly in tone…′ - ESCalate

`Race… is without a doubt a master of intelligent simplicity…a serious understanding of the needs of learners is clear behind every page… There is an enormous amount of practical, useful material. I will not be in the least surprised if this book is a runaway success′ - Anita Pincas, Lifelong Education and International Development, Institute of Education, London

′Phil Race freely shares his experience and his wise counsel in a text where he emerges from the pages as a clear thinking, clear writing, expert in this field, with much to offer′ - John Cowan, Emeritus Professor of Learning Development, the Open University

′Excellent resource, especially for those making the transition from practice roles to academia. Phil Race explains his ideas in a way that is simple yet very effective. This book has helped me prepare for my role as a nurse lecturer and helped to reduce many of the stressors I expected to find in entering the classroom environment. The chapter on ‘what can I do when….’  Is invaluable and has already helped me resolve several teaching dilemmas. Highly recommended.′ -- Paul Smith
