I enjoyed this one so much that I read it at 10 pm one night. It covers a wide range of ideas in ABER and I like that it discusses its role in higher ed., even advocating for it to come into play earlier than the doctoral level (which I do in my undergraduate courses). The only issue I had was that it lacked compelling visuals. I don't see how you can write a book about ABER and lack rich visuals.
