2.0 out of 5 stars
Best to borrow from library before buying,
This review is from: The Brain's Behind It: New Knowledge About The Brain And Learning (Paperback)
A technical discussion of what various parts of the brain accomplish.
Has some interesting suggestions for educators. I found it heavy on technical brain information and light on applications. For teachers other books would be far superior. For someone wanting a detailed description of brain functions other books would be more complete and technical. For a person that wants light reading in both areas this might be a good read. My bias - I read this book from the point of a K - 12 educator looking for ways to change academic results.
