Review
"It is an essential work of reference and justifies its price." - TES "...offers revealing perspectiveson the past, and significant pointers to the future." - Education + Training "Those who have hacked their way through the tangled undergrowth of official statistics about British HE, will wonder and give thanks that so much has been brought together so authoritatively." - Lifelong Learning in Europe "...will be an invaluable contribution to the adult educationarchive." - Adults Learning "An essential work of reference." - The Lecturer "...stronglyrecommended to anyone interested in the development of mass higher education in Britain." - Higher Education Review "...provides a worthwhile analysis of one of the most important innovations in postwar British higher education." - InternationalHigher Education "...stimulates powerful reflection, something to be recommended to policy makers as new developments such as the growth of HE in FE, amalgamations of institutions and individual learning accounts creep up the charts of this Learning Age." - Studies in the Education of Adults
