Their work with the schools in California continues to advance the information and method we need to explore and install brain-based education in our lives and our schools. Congratulations on this next step. Follow ...

Geoffrey Caine, Renate Nummela Caine, ...

Zephyr Press, 1999

MindShifts may be resisted by "old paradigm" thinkers.
This book provides a logical organization for the large body of complex, education-relevant data currently emerging from neuroscience. The authors introduce the book with words attributed to Einstein: "No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew." The authors predicate their work on the assumption that Cartesian and Behaviorist ...

Corwin Press, 2004

Cutting-edge mind/brain information
Caine, Caine, and friends have succeeded again, with their new, effectively written book about brain/mind principles. Their earlier book, "Making Connections," is a primer about how the brain learns best. In this new book the authors delineate each of the 12 learning principles in a way that any teacher can use and benefit from. I recommend this book highly as an addition to professional ...

This book has changed the way I teach!
This book is the basis for my graduate study work. I've applied the brain-based learning principles in my classrooms and enjoyed stunning results. Teaching is easier & more effective. Students are enthusiastic and inspired to learn more. Grades and attitudes improve with BBL techniques.

Wake of the Werewolf

4 reviews
Geoffrey Caine

Diamond/Charter, 1991

Brilliant
I agree with the reviewer above. These three books are of a much higher quality than one expects. The age old myths of vampires, werewolves and zombies are dragged screaming into the nineties. This kind of talent reminds me of Brent Monahan. Someone please get this guy to write more.

Very Unusual Vampire Story
I love this author - all three of his books! His stories are very unusual, exciting, thrilling and hard to put down. These books are on my "keeper" shelves. So good-luck in finding them. Convince him to write more - and more!

They draw distintions between the all too prevalent practices which lead to downshifting, a kind of brain function regression, in contrast to the conditions a teacher can provide which ...
