Abstract
With this book, Parker Palmer erects an important landmark for all who practice the art of teaching and for anyone concerned with education today. In an educational landscape riddled with deliberations on general education reform, pedagogical approaches, and student needs, Palmer's essential point is that good teaching cannot be reduced to technique because "good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher" (10). Good teaching, he contends, is a courageous act that results both from the teacher's intimate relation with the subject matter as well as the teacher's humility and openness to discover and learn. Learning for both teacher and student, then, is also a courageous act, for teacher and student alike must be willing to confront "great things" together that cannot be reduced to the lowest common denominator of any single perspective of an individual or group.
