David Turner is Professor of Education at the University of Glamorgan, UK. Before he entered academia, he taught as a physics teacher in secondary schools in England.

"This volume develops in more detail the argument of Turner's Theory of Education (2004) that most educational research (called "single centered") is misguided and useless for policy decision, because it assumes that individual causal conditions, such as student background or teacher preparation, determine educational outcomes...the arguments are strong and worthy of consideration by researchers and policy makers. At least one of Turner's volumes should be included in any academic library. Summing Up: Highly Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections." — G. E. Hein, CHOICE, May 2008, Vol. 45 No. 09
