Very interesting book. Provide practical guides as well

[Novanz · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very interesting book. However I came away from it unsure whether or not it was a strictly factual interpretation of all research, or if it was a little bit alarmist in its approach?

Instead of a lot of research on the whys of going set-free, it was mostly talk of how stupid kids look watching TV. I'd skip this one.
