Important book, but...
... having had the immense pleasure of watching Sir Ken's speech on youtube several times, reading this book was like being preached to by a fellow preached. That being said; the book is well researched and well written, and ought to be able to convince even the most traditional of persons.
Brilliant and eye opening
This book is facinating. If you have any interest in how the education system is, well, not failing our children, but stifiling their creativity through the application of "conventional wisdom" read this. You have to see his fantastic 30 min TED talk on You Tube - simply brilliantly funny and insightful at the same time.
A mind shift of great importance
Sir Ken's insights are slowly leaking into schools. We are finally understanding the extent of the damage brought about by competitive, risk adverse school environments. At the centre of his approach is a belief in really valuing human capacity in its fullest sense, both in ourselves and in others.
Sir Ken has inspired so many educators and organisations through his truly deep insights into how we will ultimately solve the world's problems through collective creativity. So if you are a teacher and know that you want to bring a change of emphasis to your students, and develop open create school climates, then this book will be a perfect resource. Written in 2001 - more relevant than ever in 2008.
This book is equally important for all other types of organisation as well.
For a good insight into this topic watch Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk - "Do Schools Kill Creativity"... literally hundred's of thousands of people have!

book club of one, part one.
Here's the ISBN: 1841121258. I'd recommend that you at least watch the video, and read the book if you're interested. I wish I'd had read it when I was in 6th grade, because it would've made me appreciate the diversity of talent and ...
