Almost
In truth, this book deserves 3.5 stars-unfortunately for me, that is not available.So I had to put it a notch lower together with an earlier review on William James' book. A sad affair for me and the editors of this tex. A little after Kant the whole thing starts getting muggy-off course, post modernists are prone to mugginess! But a good read-really! Longinus on The Sublime was especially ...

Much needed
This is exactly the kind of text future teachers need! For too long educators have been given recipes for teaching...they need to learn to think. Unless we consider the socio-cultural influences on education we will continue to perpetuate the status-quo. The title does give an accurate picture of the contents...the book is an introduction to teaching not a methods book. I feel sorry for the ...

Firstly, the interpretations are focused on particular artworks by three British sculptors: Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, and Rachel Whiteread, respectively.
