Book review: education, disadvantage and place: making the local matter by Kirstin Kerr, Alan Dyson, and Carlo Roffo

This book aims to consider the effectiveness of area-based initiatives in the struggle to address the links between education, disadvantage and place. It is written in a style which will find favour with practitioners seeking a clear link between evidence and policy, and postgraduate students and academics researching in the fields of community, local government, education, and disadvantage, finds Jon Dean.
