Publisher's summary

In this profoundly significant book, author Michael Gurian synthesizes current knowledge and clearly demonstrates how this distinction in hard-wiring and socialized gender differences affects how boys and girls learn. Gurian presents a new way to educate our children based on brain science, neurological development, and chemical and hormonal disparities.

Boys and Girls ARE different; to not recognize this is to give both less opportunities to learn best.

I appreciated that the content was factually based with proper scientific reference. The content isn't dripping with ideology either left or right, but instead earnestly seeks to understand the best methods to teach boys and girls based on what science has revealed about brain function for each.
