Customer Review: Again, I am fascinated by Gardner's ideas. The focus this time is more on the discipline, academics, and ensuring synthesis in learning. A worthwhile read for any educator.
Customer Review: I deeply encourage you to learn about the multiple intelligences.

Customer Review: Very good reference for educators, parents and guardians. Sensible ideas to make the student a whole person - one who appreciates the world around him. A guide on how to develop teaching materials and motivate students to learn based on truth, beauty and goodness.
