Many levels of learning.

I was amazed that the genre of graphic novel and the top of the holacaust went together at all.  This was a moving book in so many ways.  I loved hearing the language of the characters and participating in their personal interaction.  Hearing the history of the Jews in Poland was another story added to my thoughts of this era.  Having the mice and pigs worked so well.  I was especially intrigued by the mice in the pig masks.  Well done.  I look forward to reading part two.

25 lessons, keys, from 25 different professionals. It's like a buffet of knowledge. Any one key could provide knowledge to move your career forward. Well organized and put together.

Lots of great deal examples.  Definitely not for beginners, more an intermediate level, but for that group it is fantastic.

This literature guide has stronger activities than others I have seen. The variety of activities allows for differentiation in the classroom.

About a quarter ways in, Lisa Delpit pretty much nails the matter:

"My point is that children come to us having learned different things in their four-to-five years at home.  For those who come to us knowing how to count to one hundred and to read, we need to teach them problem solving and how to tie their shoes.  And for those who already know how to clean up spilled paint, tie their shoes, prepare meals, and comfort a crying sibling, we need to make sure that we teach them the school knowledge that they haven't learned at home.  Unfortunately, though, different types of [knowledge] are not equally valued in the school setting."

Said differently, the need is for public education to become ever more capable to absorb and continually learn from all the variety kids show up with at school each day.

(Where Delpit uses the word "skill," I prefer the word "knowledge" for the simple reason "skill" arguably is a pejorative in corporate-speak used to enforce managerial hierarchy: executives have knowledge, worker bees have skill.  As knowledgeable worker bees can be upsetting to corporatism, knowledgeable students and teachers can be upsetting to educratism.)

There is information in this book that I've never seen elsewhere.  Hours of reading, learning.

I learned from this series maybe 50 years ago, and now am teaching from it.  It's structured well, so the student is learning without much struggle.

I learnt a lot about how I learn in this book. It is well written, researched and gives an deep insight into how to study.

I thought it would be a little bit more about math as such but then I realized that it is more about how to think and learn.

I realized that I had been doing it wrong for a while and since reading this I have started learning all sort of subjects and areas in a whole new way.

Thank you to the author for a really interesting approach.

Excellent !  Teachers like me, who used to teach several levels at once, can really relate to the excellent suggestions.

This is a very high level vocabulary book.  I got through it but literally had to look up 100s of words to fully grasp what was being presented.  But using what I learned is pretty cool.

This is book to read more than once. Many sentences have a lifetime of learning in them.  I was very moved and impressed, and learned a great deal.
