not sure I believe it all

person who read review was very dry as was the book...was going to see him speak but otherwise wouldn't have made it thru the book

Boys and Girls ARE different; to not recognize this is to give both less opportunities to learn best.

I appreciated that the content was factually based with proper scientific reference. The content isn't dripping with ideology either left or right, but instead earnestly seeks to understand the best methods to teach boys and girls based on what science has revealed about brain function for each.
