Review Quotes: Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang has the ability to explain complex affective neurobiological research in a clear and concise way and to then translate these research findings into educational theory. . . . [T]he educator will come away from this book with a general understanding of neurobiological research, especially regarding the relationship of emotions to learning and a theoretical approach to educational interventions that should prompt him or her to develop innovations specific to individual students. I heartily recommend this book.-- "PsycCRITIQUES" (9/19/2016 12:00:00 AM)
