Recenzje

"...a very apt blend of the concerns of the theorist, the empirical reseacher, and the classroom practitioner. It is informed by theory; it presents important experimental evidence; it is filled with implications for pedagogy. Clearly it has emerged from the hand of someone directly acquainted with the relevant issues, indeed someone who has himself toiled in the library, in the laboratory, and on the firing line."
—Howard Gardner
Harvard University, from the Foreword
