Recenzje

What comes through on every page, unmistakably, is Colin Seale's passion that we “simply have to stop leaving genius on the table.” If more students have to look at a question from all sides, work rigorously to discover what is known, learn to analyze mistakes, including the ones they make, and to think how their solutions work in the real world, we certainly would have students equipped for whatever innovations in technology and the nature of work are thrown at them.,Robert C.
