"The book would inspire and encourage policy makers, administrators, and practitioners to tackle the issues arising from the implementation of BL overnight. ... The content of this book is socially, culturally, economically and politically diverse .... . Readers and BL practitioners from other parts of the world will easily identify the contexts that are similar to their own and apply related practices used and lessons learnt from this book to empower their BL implementation."
