I particularly enjoyed the Judy Willis pieces in the book.

This book is a compilation of 12 chapters about the emerging educational neuroscience field. Some chapters were very eye-opening, such as the ones about reading and math. Each provide excellent citations and overviews of what is known about the topics. However, the creativity and arts chapters struggle a bit. Also, this book was edited in 2010, and is probably becoming less relevant as time passes. I have to hope that there has been more published research in this field.

Overall I enjoyed this book. There were a number of different specialists who contributed to this book and each chapter's author had a short "about" section dedicated to them so that the readers could have an increased perspective of the background for each author. Each chapter also had a bibliography and the end of the book had a glossary and index, all of which are useful additions for any non-fiction work. Overall I enjoyed this book.

The chapter on the mathematical brain is informative and intriguing. Sharing a copy with the math teachers. Great food for thought.

This is so far the best book I've read on educational neuroscience. I wish, as Fischer and Heikkinen concluded, that teachers would have more research tools available to be more active participants in the academic process.
