Description
Reviews / Votes
"This is to be applauded for it retains intellectual integrity while providing relevant evidence that supports educating nonacademic attitudes about the matter, especially among those who are spending public funds. . The book will also be informative for policy makers and practitioners, and educative for students, enabling them to see the argument for reframing common sense assumptions-including some with which they themselves might have started their undergraduate studies." (Anne Murcott, Review of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Studies, Vol. 100, 2019)
