Offering detailed insight into new findings in these areas and providing a compelling account of both the implications and limits of this new-found knowledge, the text confronts the mechanisms of interaction between multiple biological and social factors, and explores how educators might mobilize these biosocial' influences to enhance learning and enable each child to attain educational succe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book takes us into uncharted terrain – exploring embodiment, what it means to ‘optimise human potential’, ‘the body-brain-environment person’.
