The National Academy Press has just made all of its publications free for downloading (as pdf’s). Of particular interest is the Education section which includes titles such as:
- How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition (Donovan et al., 2000): This is an excellent resource for pedagogy.
- Surrounded by Science: Learning Science in Informal Environments
- Learning Science Through Computer Games and Simulations
There are 20 books in the Education section, and while many of the books in the other sections are quite technical, there are some gems among the 4,000 available titles.
