Why the posts about books?

Since I started this blog in April 2006 book tagged posts are numerous; almost 300 in fact.

As with the previous post "Spare Parts" many are not even a review of the book in question. Use of about here is a misnomer. Currently, there are 51 posts tagged 'review', probably not all text book.

So, why bother? These posts are intended to suggest and possibly show the scope of Hodges' model. The placement of the book within a particular care (knowledge) domain is no accident.

Even though there is often overlap between the domains there is often a primary placement. 

This is were you the reader (learner, teacher, policy maker ...) come in, as the model invites you to interrogate the book's title and often, its very informative (for commercial reasons) subtitle.
