As teachers we are in the business of literally changing the connections in the brains of our students. However, many of us only have a rudimentary knowledge of how the brain actually works. This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the most complex of organs and I would strongly recommend that those involved in education, not just psychology students, read it. -- Helen Darlington
