Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book is a work of art, an essay that engages the reader in an experience that goes beyond the intellectual processing of ideas. Davis uses language as does a poet, to affect the reader, to effect a change in the reader’s experience of the subject matter, and of him or herself in that subject matter.” — J. Curriculum Studies
“Learning and expressing through sight are often predominant in our thinking, and I believe that paying more attention to sound, to listening, to hearing can open our ears to a whole new pedagogical approach to mathematics and, indeed, to other subjects. I believe Brent Davis, through this book, has done that.” — Harvard Educational Review
“It would benefit all educators interested in curriculum studies and instructional pedagogy. I recommend this book to all educators who are caught up in what they are doing and have forgotten to really listen to their students.” — Teaching Children Mathematics
