The Art of learning: Learn to learn - Paperback

by K. Ranga Rama Krishnan (Author)

This book explores the world that we and our children are entering into. The skills that were once deemed to be enough to do well appear to be inadequate. The skills that are needed maybe be different both qualitatively and indeed in complexity. What are the skills that are needed? And how should we help policy makers, parents and students cope with the emerging reality. The book discusses many of these issues and builds a framework for learning. The book outlines the key principles that will help improve learning for everyone: children, students, adults, and in fact anyone that has to learn any subject, anytime and anywhere.
