Abstract

Book Review.
One might expect a book exploring critique to intrigue, baffle, irritate and reassure in roughly equal parts, and Critique in Design and Technology Education does not disappoint on that measure! I have titled this review ‘a new paradigm’, with the question mark acknowledging that it has had a place from the beginning of the subject in England and Wales (cf DES and WO, 1988), albeit largely eclipsed by designing and making. It could just as well be thought of as indication of a coming of age.
