Learning isn’t something that just happens to you. It’s something you do. Learning means building more mental pathways, bridging connections between new and pre-existing knowledge, recognizing patterns, and turning facts and information into knowledge (and ultimately, wisdom).

Based on the latest research in cognitive science, neuro-biology, and educational psychology, Head First books get your brain into learning mode.
