Rezensionen

'This book is described in the title as a 'handbook' and that is exactly what is provided. It is not heavily laden with theory on reflection and learning, but there is enough there for those who are new to the topic to find some pointers for follow up. It is invaluable for teachers who wish to find ways of making the journal process come alive for students and I shall certainly be trying out some of her suggested approaches.' - Barbara Maiden, University of Wolverhampton, UK
