Recensioner i media

'A timely intervention in the drug-based medical model of education designed to enhance cognition and the efficiency of learning. Turner teaches us to be suspicious of claims based on alleged medical parallels with education and examines the underlying assumptions behind the view that cognition, learning and intelligence can be enhanced through drug therapy. In the increasingly medicalised world of education this book should be read by educators and policy-makers.' Michael A. Peters, Professor of Educational Policy Studies, University of Illinois, USA
