Reviews

At a time when some people seem to judge learning only by its quantity, Newton maintains that collecting information is easy but that understanding should be what really matters...The book will be an important teaching tool for preservice teachers, practicing teachers, and others concerned with effective teaching. <br>-G.E. Pawlas, CHOICE, May 2001 <br>
