I have had this on my TBR pile for too long so I finally decided it was time before launching into the new school year to read it. It's foundational in terms of helping teachers help students "reclaim research". Instead of telling them what to research, give them a framework and let them explore, fail, gather, extrapolate, etc. so that they can rediscover their love of learning by being passionate and curious about topics that matter to them that lead to stronger overall knowledge.

There's sections that are important, though it doesn't go deep into AI based on the time it was written about "internet" research versus book reading, handwriting notes, and shallow versus deep reading which reinforces what we know must exist-- time and opportunity to explore in a way that allows them to ask questions and navigate answers and new discoveries adding to their prior knowledge.

Chock full of fodder for meaningful research lesson design. Do I sound like a teacher yet?
