[T]he book is very clearly written, inviting, and readable. It is appropriate in level and tone for in-service teachers, graduate students, upper-level graduates, and the educated general public.

This text is a powerful argument for a major change in thinking about learning in schools. Therefore, it provides a valuable vision that stands in contrast to the dominant framework of today s educational establishment.
