This is multimodal critical discourse analysis at its best. The
book guides the reader clearly and carefully in how to not take
textbooks at face value. It produces fascinating and striking
insights into the ideas and values carried by English language
teaching books which may be less obvious to the casual user. Done
in a lively and accessible pedagogical style it has the potential
to foster a wave of critical work which has been severely lacking
in this field.
