Teaching in Eden is about a teacher's rebellion against the paradigms of higher education as they are manifested in the trenches. This book comes out of Janovy's quarter century of teaching science at Cedar Point.

Recenzje

"[Teaching in Eden] is Janovy's attept to shake higher education by the shoulders and bring it to its senses, asking that university instruction shift its focus from content to larger questions of process and values...It should be part of any science educator's library, and most university libraries."--Great Plains Quarterly, Summer 2006
