Recensioner i media

A very welcome addition to the literature on small groups. It lives up to the goal of not requiring prior knowledge of the subject ... The style is lively, and there are frequent suggestions for short mental exercises that encourage active learning, keep the reader alert and encourage relating the text to one's own experience.-Herb Blumberg, Goldsmiths College, University of LondonAn extremely well balanced and readable book, and it manages to achieve this without the sacrifice of breath of coverage or detail ... It attempts to evoke thought and activity on the part of the reader ... I am sure that its accessibility will make it extremely popular with undergraduate students. I shall certainly be recommending it to my students.- Phil Erwin, Edge Hill College, Lancashire
