Review

"It is very readable, and I am sure most readers will find themselves stopping and reflecting on the many snippets of information that challenge their thinking and assumptions, that simply provide a perspective that they simply hadn't quite thought about before."

-- Richard Bryant-Jefferies, Head of Equalities and Diversity, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust.
