Features: "Boys and Girls Learn Differently" not only will change our school classrooms but also provides parents with a new concept of "teaching according to gender" to raise their children. —John Gray, author of "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus," has long noticed the differences in behavior, learning tendencies, and interests between boys and girls. However, only Michael Gurian conducted medical data analysis to prove the scientific validity of this observation. Gurian offers creative methods to correct the current American educational approach that ignores gender-based learning differences, laying a foundation for the future success of both boys and girls. —Edward Zigler, professor of psychology at Yale University
