This was an interesting read and very singular. The book is a look at using a theatrical technique in the classroom to help Instructors create a presence for teaching. The work also uses these same techniques to help instructors motivate students to apply new knowledge. This book is a little off the beaten path but a worthwhile read nonetheless.

If you are already a teacher or library instructor this book will probably not teach you anything new. For those new and/or nervous to begin teacher in front of others, it is full of tricks and tips that actors use to create a performance and get ready for one. The book could have benefitted from an editor in regards to the final formatting.

Mostly fluff. I can see it being useful to prop up what you already know and build confidence. But don't waste money on this book. Borrow it!
