In this book, she presents a range of perspectives on schools, teaching and learning from writers as diverse as Leo Tolstoy, Howard Gardner and Elaine Landau - all concerned with the development of inquiring minds and critical thinking abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise Nessel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1883536057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781883536053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Malor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.45w x 0.59d","brand":"Denise Nessel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944699035903,"sku":"9781883536053","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_44b6a1b3-3fc8-46a8-9379-b8303a008404.jpg?v=1681504746","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/awakening-young-minds-denise-d-nessel-9781883536053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
