Reviews
"A wonderful tool for reflection on one's own teaching practice, a way to catalog one's own values and how we put them into practice in the classroom and out."

"A splendid repository of ways to rethink how we teach college."

"A warm, humane little book--a scientifically informed reminder that even in college, students and teachers are really driven by emotion, anxiety, curiosity, and care."

"Unique and compelling. Eyler brings lyrical prose and a truly fresh perspective to problems that have stubbornly persisted."
Michelle D. Miller, author of Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology
