Joanne Lipman and Melanie Kupchynsky's. Strings attached : life lessons from the world's toughest teacher . New York : Hyperion, c2013.

This is an easy read, but a fascinating biography of Jerry Kupchynsky.   His life was at once terribly tragic and yet at the same time somewhat triumphant.  It's also a nice counterpoint to the unpleasant trend of teacher-bashing.



Patricia Churchland's Touching a nerve : our brains, our selves. New York : W.W. Norton & Company, 2014.

I've been reading a lot of 'popular neuroscience' for lack of a better term.  I think this is one of the more sound and readable ones.
