A Smorgasbord of Effective Study Strategies, comprising Powerful Tools, Techniques, Hints, Ideas, Illustrations, Instructions, Examples, Methods, Procedures, Processes, Skills, Resources, & Suggestions for Personal Success in School & in Life
"Few students are as effective in their schoolwork as they would like to be, but contrary to popular opinion, the way to achieve effective study is not by more study or more determined concentration, but by changing the quality of study method."(University of Houston-Clear Lake Study Guide)
"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something deep(Muhamed Ali, the champion boxer who floats like a butterfly & stings like a bee...)
inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have skill & will. But the will must be stronger than skill."
"Once you have learned how to ask relevant & appropriate questions, you have learned how to learn & no one can keep you from learning whatever you want or need to know."(Neil Postman & Charles Weingartner, 'Teaching as a Subversive Activity')
"Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardour & attended to with diligence."(Abigail Adamas, 1780)
"...to handle information indigestion, the only solution is 'to learn new ways of handling & studying the information - new ways of using our natural abilities to learn, think, recall, create & solve problems..."(Tony Buzan, 'Use Both Sides of Your Brain')
"The world currency today is information. To survive & succeed in the 21st Century, we must refine our ability to learn new things, to gather information quickly, to synthesise it, & then make a choice to respond."

We are a not-for-profit educational organization, founded by Mortimer Adler and we have recently made an exciting discovery--three years after writing the wonderfully expanded third edition of How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren made a series of thirteen 14-minute videos--lively discussing the art of reading. The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost.
Three hours with Mortimer Adler on one DVD. A must for libraries and classroom teaching the art of reading.
I cannot exaggerate how instructive these programs are--we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.
