"This is an essential book for every teacher and learner. The authors, who are among the world's experts, have done a superb job of condensing a vast amount of research on learning into wonderfully understandable, lively, concise, and above all useful, units." -- Carl Wieman, Carnegie University Professor of the Year 2004, Nobel Laureate in Physics 2001, Professor of Physics and Education, Stanford University "Daniel Schwartz and his co-authors have developed an easy-to-understand, easy-to-use synthesis of the learning literature without oversimplifying the complexity of the teaching and learning process. I am particularly impressed with the inclusion of multiple examples, potential risks, and possible misapplications, along with the acknowledgement that no one technique, by itself, will likely work in every situation. This book does a wonderful job introducing usable knowledge that can be flexibly applied by those seeking to encourage learning." -- David B. Daniel, PhD, Professor of Psychology, James Madison University
