"We all are getting caught with the sensationalism that goes with current neuro-science and developments in brain imaging and how this is helping us understand how the brain learns. Sadly, these developments have created a plethora of myths about which side of the brain we learn with, what type of learner we are etc, none of which is accurate or helpful. We are not neuroscientists but are real people, in a real world, trying to make a real difference to those less fortunate than ourselves and this book goes a long way in helping us to achieve our goals". - Andrew Dalziell, The Movement and Learnng Centre, Bo'Ness, Scotland.
