Brent Davis
"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
