ABSTRACT

If we were to sum up the demands placed on practice in the setting and circumstance of Part 2 in this book and give a definition, it might read as follows:

practice – the art of making things possible, of expanding the boundaries of understanding and possibility in ways which make a tangible difference for now and for later, making expert knowledge more widely accessible, turning it all into common sense and common sense into experts' sense, coupling knowledge with power (Shovkry), creating opportunities for discovery (Chambers), finding creative ways of making one plus one add up to three or even more.
