Learning With Leonardo: Unfinished Perfection

Ian Warwick taught in inner city comprehensives for twenty years then set up and is Senior Director of London Gifted & Talented. He has published extensively in the field of education, with dozens of articles and chapters in national and international journals and a book on worldwide education for the more able. He has spoken at many national and world conferences and is consultant editor for Gifted Education International. He developed a suite of customised online learning materials for the Hong Kong Academy and for schools in Singapore and has worked directly with networks of schools in many countries across Europe and Africa, as well as in the Middle and Far East.

Leonardo's notebooks, those astonishing collections of eclectic wisdom, play a big part in this book and the experience of reading Unfinished Perfection even chimes with that -- fascinating ideas from a huge range of authors and fields of human endeavour are beautifully brought together with the authors own insights to stimulate thought about how we should think and how we should educate. I recommend it highly. --Professor Sir Jonathan Bate
