Talks to Teachers on Psychology: And to Students on Some of Life's IdealsPlain Label Books, 30/08/2008 - 152 من الصفحات More than 100 years after it was published, "Talks to Teachers on Psychology," is relevant and helpful for teachers and those who aspire to teach.

Many of James's insights foreshadowed certain emphases of present-day researchers, and his observations on teaching are as germane now as they were more than a century ago. |
