Quote by CHOICE, May 2008, American Library Association: “This is one of the rare collections that might be of great benefit to all American educators. Presseisen offers a book rich with important ideas. The essays not only inform readers, but encourage deeper examination and invite discussion on the nature of intelligence and its relationship to matters such as standards, testing, and curriculum development. It is a must for educators and would greatly benefit and enlighten politicians and parents too.”
