Insightful classic out of the box new way of thinking about education that most of us will not absorb or find relevant on first reading. Read it and let it roll around your head and heart. After ten years, it may register -- and that s no slam on the book. It is just SO different from mainstream educational thinking. Kieran Egan is kindred soul, also super insightful.
