The Teacher and The Taught de Ronald Gross

"I hate books; they only teach people to talk about what they do not understand." So writes Rousseau. His philosophy of education is compared and contrasted with many others, from Plato's Allegory of the Cave to Montessori. Though the writing can be tedious, the book is comprehensive and a good selection for teachers formulating their own approaches, as well as reviewing their current practices. It would be welcome to have the sections shortened and updated.

Peak Learning de Ronald Gross

There are certainly more up-to-date books out there on the subject of personal learning.

Independent Scholar's Handbook: How to Turn Your… de Ronald Gross

Short Review

I thought that Gross could have gone into more detail on the specifics of research, however on reflection that is not within the scope of the book.
Overall it does a decent job of showing what resources are available for scholars who are not affiliated with a traditional academic institution. Littered amongst the text there are many examples and case studies of those who have successfully pursued independent scholarship.
As I said before, decent but nothing which you couldn't work out yourself with a few hours reflection and brainstorming.
