  This book is an argument for educational reform as well as an exploration into the workings of the human mind. The author shows how ill-suited our minds and natural patterns of learning are to current educational materials, practices and institutions. Gardner makes a case for restructuring our schools, finding clues for reform in the ancient art of apprenticeship and in the modern children's museum, arguing that in both these settings genuine understanding occurs because learning takes place in a rich and meaningful context. This book is the sequel to the author's earlier book Frames of Mind .
