A Helpful Resource

While this book is not structured as a book to read for pleasure, it serves as an excellent resource for writing a paper or gathering facts for an in-service workshop. I found the authors explanations and suggestions on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation particularly helpful. The price is also a bargain, particulalry a used version.
