Rezensionen

"This is not only an insightful but also a necessary book. It drawstogether the practice-based school of thought within research onorganizational and workplace learning. And, furthermore, the booktakes us in an exemplary way through a case study in which thenovel term "texture of practice" is used to illustrate how practiceis weaved together with the workplace and its members. I will nothesitate to recommend this book to any of my students - andeven my friends!"
