Banner and Cannon's Elements of Learning is just as elegant and useful as their earlier The Elements of Teaching (1997). It is at once uplifting and levelheaded. For example, it recognizes the value of academic competition when humanized by cooperation and civility. It explores learning as a human "adventure" but is intended particularly for high school students. It responds to their concerns by offering valuable strategies in a lively style. Students need to set priorities and diversify for maximum success in and enjoyment of all their endeavors--work, study, social and spiritual life, and hobbies. To achieve such balance, the first half of the book discusses the value of virtues and habits such as industry, enthusiasm, curiosity, aspiration, imagination, self-discipline, honesty, and initiative. Banner and Cannon (emeriti from Princeton Univ. and Manhattanville College, respectively) give insights and tips to develop and maintain each of these virtues. The second half of the book deals with the circumstances of learning, such as teachers, schools, curricula, learning styles, and transition to college. This engaging book explores and celebrates a learning process in which students are active participants. Recommended for all levels. C. Maroufi; California State University, Los Angeles
