Rousing Minds to Life is the education textbook for the '90s: A powerful synthesis of the theoretical advances in Vygotskian theory as applied to every aspect of teaching, learning, and schooling. Drawing on studies from preschool and elementary school through the university seminar, and on their own successful experience with thousands of students over two decades, this text integrates all recent work in the Vygotskian tradition with basic concepts in American and British behaviorism, cognitive science, anthropology, and sociolinguistics. Distinguished by a literate style and an extraordinarily rich content, it is appropriate for courses in educational psychology, curriculum and instruction, educational foundations, educational administration, special education, multicultural education, and any course that treats learning and cognitive development in social context.

Industry Reviews

'Rarely have I seen a book that blends so successfully the big educational picture with the micro-picture of the teacher-student encounter, and it does so with the purpose of changing the way teachers work with students. Rousing Minds to Life is an exceptional book.' Mike Rose, author of Lives on the Boundary 'This is probably the most interesting and important book we have on how the ideas of Vygotsky and others can be extended and applied to contemporary issues of education.' James Wertsch, Clark University 'In this book the authors achieve a powerful synthesis of theoretical advances in Vygotskian theory ... they have (also) provided psychologists with a significant new model of the teaching-learning process.' Vera John-Steiner, University of New Mexico
