5.0 out of 5 stars
Don't judge a book by the wrong cover!,
By
This review is from: The Informed Vision: Essays on Learning and Human Nature (Paperback)
Reviewers shouldn't rate a book based on the fact that they weren't careful enough to check out the correct author or title before ordering. David Hawkins (1913-2002) was a distinguished professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the official historian of the Manhattan Project. He was a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and a visiting professor at colleges and universities in the United States, England, Canada and Italy. Hawkins and his wife, Frances, a leader in early childhood education, founded the CU campus-based Mountain View Center for Environmental Education, which provided advanced education for elementary and pre-school teachers. This book, used in college courses at Harvard beautifully lays out the "informed vision" that educators need to create meaningful learning.

The wrong David Hawkins,
By
This review is from: The Informed Vision: Essays on Learning and Human Nature (Paperback)
This Author is not David Hawkins of the Relationship Doctor. I made three expensive purchases of this MD's new age writings thinking it was the Christian psychologist of the same name. You need to differentiate between the two and I am going to have bonfire.
