Product reviews for The Big Book of Independent Thinking

Dan Owen

The book is in a format that facilitates easy access for the busy professional
It is written in the mode of an academic journal, with "articles' by various authors, though is eminently more accessible having done away with the usual frivolities of academic language
Though the book offers much practical advice and classroom based strategies, it is grounded in academic theory- a fact borne out by the references at the end of each chapter
The text offers information from different spheres. This is particularly interesting as the profession often only gets one sort of information or information from a narrow source.
The text offers a good overview of some of the most exciting educational questions of the 21st century such as the role of emotional intelligence in good learning and teaching.
