“It is … principally a book for an academic audience but would be of interest to secondary Geography teachers with a passion for Global Education and the potential of Geography Education in a contemporary geopolitical context. … The strength of this book is the manner in which it focuses on the way geography can be used to promote global understanding in what is an increasingly fractious and fraught geopolitical context.” (Grant Kleeman, Geographical Education, Vol. 32, 2019)
