OverviewLearning is among the most basic of human activities. The study of learning and research into learning form a central part of educational studies. Previous studies of human learning have focused on psychological processes whereas this book examines the importance of the relationship between the body and the mind, and considers how our neurological, biological, emotional and spiritual faculties all impact on human learning.
