Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Boys Should Be Boys: A Headmaster's Reflections By Brian R. Walsh 'Over the last quarter century, much has been written about feminism and women's rights, and that's as it should be.

'This book is not only an essential operating manual for educators; it is a highly entertaining and valuable guide for all parents of boys. In an unstuffy clear fluid prose, laced with many anecdotes, he provides real insight into the educating of boys and their unique and very different ways of learning.' John F. Lehman Jr., former Secretary of the United States Navy and member of the 9/11 Commission.

Sally Bedell Smith, author of For Love of Politics: Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years.…
