Media Reviews
The balance of the book represents an effort to make teaching adjustments in the different disciplines that will improve boys' achievement without depreciating girls'. Perhaps the book is most valuable as a methodological handbook, something that can be appreciated without particular attention to the central stated problem. --Cal State Univ., Fresno.
