Michael Gurian, Arlette C. Ballew
Jossey-Bass, 2003
not as good as expected
I love brain research and how children learn best. This book had some good information, but was disappointing in the practical application. The ideas were nothing new and nothing those teaching for a few years wouldn't already know.
