′At this time when international interest in educational leadership
and management has never been greater, it is great to see a book
that collects some of the best thinking around current issues. Tony
Bush, Les Bell and David Middlewood are very well situated to edit
a book that draws together many strands to highlight the current
and future impact of leadership on the core concern of learning and
learners. I am sure that this book will be a popular choice with
postgraduate students and practitioners alike′ - Professor Carol
Cardno, Unitec Institute of Technology, New Zealand

useful for those in educational management.
