Chapter 13 About the Author
I found [Fisher's] dilineation of the historical and theoretical contexts of "teaching fearlessness" affirming. They provide a strong staging area for discussion on the role of fear and emotional intelligence in transformational learning.

This book is an important one. I'll not teach a curriculum theory class without it in the future.
