I'm an English major geek who read this for fun! That may say something about me, but the point is that it says something about the book. I learned so much and had so much fun reading that I ended up striking up an email conversation with the author, who, surprise surprise, shared my favorite pedagogical theorist! I treasure this book and its author for the learning brought to life within the pages.

A fascinating book detailing some of the most important aspects and developments in Bill Milliken's life. A bit of a long read compared to most books, infused with some technical bits for those coming from an aerospace and automotive background.
