Recensione:

"This collection of 32 substantial and varied chapters is an intellectually stimulating effort to reconcile what psychologists know about learning and child development. Olson and Torrance′s Handbook should be ordered by every library that has a graduate program in educational psychology, educational curriculum and instruction, educational philosophy, cognition, or human development psychology." Contemporary Psychology

"A worthwhile addition to academic libraries; for upper–division undergraduates through faculty." L.L. Scarth, Choice

"The extent and importance of this volume is hard to overestimate in that it comprehensively covers areas of a fundamental nature for any attempt to move forward schooling, as it is now practised, and brings to bear elements of deeper consideration and spiritual value on a wider scale ... The fact that is is written by eminent researchers and bridges theory and practice makes it as a useful and potent asset for the teacher in the classroom and the advocates for a different and more spiritually based approach to childhood learning and education. It gives progressivism in education a sounder theoretical and psychological foundation, on which much could be built." Christopher Clouder, Chairman of the European Council for Steiner Waldorf Education, International Journal of Children′s Spirituality, August 2003
