Lizana Oberholzer, NASBTT I just wanted to let you know that I ordered your book "Developing creative and critical educational practitioners" last week. When it turned up I started reading it one evening and I couldn't put it down, I read it from cover to cover in one sitting! I've actually committed the terrible sin of scribbling notes in the margins and highlighting sections...I know it's a terrible thing to do but I think its a sign of a good book! I'm definitely looking forward to referencing it in my Masters work' -- Dr Rachel Quinn, of Keele University Medical School.
