Rezensionen

This excellent work was compiled by a new generation of ingenious editors. Dialogically organized and containing chapters and commentaries by leading researchers, the book moves our focus from what happens to what is possible in developing mental life and human activity. Thoughtfully advanced and providing a fresh perspective on agency, this volume opens new ways of thinking and doing for cultural-historical and critical psychologists and beyond. Thomas Teo Professor of Psychology, York University
