Mary Helen Immordino-Yang is not only a brilliant and original researcher; she also has a gift for coming up with exceptionally creative ways of looking at child and adolescent development for teachers and the general public. From winning the Cozzarelli Prize to her latest achievement in this remarkable book on affective neuroscience for educators, Immordino-Yang provides us with new lenses for understanding how emotion shapes learning.--Kurt W. Fischer, PhD, Charles Warland Bigelow Professor and Director of the Mind, Brain, & Education Program, Harvard Graduate School of Education

<em>Emotions, Learning, and the Brain</em> provides a comprehensive review of the latest research in neuroscience, which demonstrates the power of emotions in learning in every setting, from the classroom to digital environments. For decades, experimentation by psychologists has shown that emotions matter in the classroom and matter a great deal. Immordino-Yang strengthens that evidence base with a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind it, helping explain the critical links between emotions and learning. --Marc A. Brackett, PhD, Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence (01/02/2016)
