I use this book with my graduate students who are taking coursework to become early childhood and elementary teachers. There is a lot of useful information, especially with the instructional and engagement "hackations". The students each select a hack and have 7-10 minutes to teach the rest of the class a lesson using the hack. It is one of their favorite assignments.
This book game me many great ideas on how to alter my curriculum for my students. I appreciate the way the authors give the information and help you to see what you can do tomorrow.
