The ABCs of How We Learn
I first learned about this book when it was featured in an NPR segment as a Best Book of 2016. It has the feel of a pop-science book, with a hook of using each letter of the alphabet to introduce a concept, but the author is the Dean of the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, which lends quite a bit of credibility to the work.
