REVIEWS
"...a good example of how theory can inform practice, and vice versa. In particular, as an educational psychologist, I found the clear explanations of important theories related to self-regulation, motivation, and learning generally, to be useful summaries of our current knowledge, and hence this work will be one I will want to keep on my bookshelf. ... I would say that this book is a pleasurable, easy read, offering clearly articulated theories and well-explained practical applications pertinent to the themes of reasoning, resilience, and responsibility." ~ Reviewed in Education Review by Elizabeth Smith Alexander, University of Texas at Austin
