"As a fellow academic and practitioner within the field it is a very pleasing thought that during the work with this anthology, the co-authors have created 12-15 local projects in which academics and schoolteachers gathered in a joint effort to develop education and give children a promising future. I guess very few academic books can claim to beat that." - Joacim Andersson, idrottsforum.org
