115 pages that will change your understanding of the way you think

In all my years of obsesive reading about the brain and its function, I have never found as simple, clear, current and practical an owners manual for the brain as this. Order it, it's a bargain you will end up recomending to others.

Searching for Marilee Sprenger

I highly recommend Ms. Sprenger's book. I want to invite her to speak at an education conference but am having difficultly locating her. If any one has information about how I can reach her, I would appreciate it. Even a clue, like what state or city does she reside in, would be very helpful. Of course an e-amil address is preferable.

Practical information on how the brain learns

I am the director of secondary school student teachers at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. I teach courses in Educational Psychology, Teaching and Classroom Management, and Middle School Philosophy. I have found this book to be very helpful in giving practical information about how the brain learns and retains information.
