Submit your own Book Review

Members of FACE are welcome to submit their own reviews of recently published books in the field of access and continuing education that may be of interest to other FACE members, as a resource on this website.

Book reviews should be concise, preferably no more than 1,000 words. They are intended to provide people who have not yet read the book under consideration with an idea of whether it would be of interest to them or not, so the review should give a clear account of what the book is about, perhaps reference other related books in the field, offer an opinion as to its academic value, and possibly make a recommendation.

To submit a review for consideration for inclusion on this page, contact Jackie Leach, University of East London. (Tel) 0208 223 4936 j.leach@uel.ac.uk
