Now You See It: How Technology and Brain Science Will Transform Schools and Business for the 21st Century

"As scholarly as [it] is . . . this book about education happens to double as an optimistic, even thrilling, summer read." — The New York Times

A brilliant combination of science and its real-world application, Now You See It sheds light on one of the greatest problems of our historical moment: our schools and businesses are designed for the last century, not for a world in which technology has reshaped the way we think and learn. In this informed and optimistic work, Cathy N. Davidson takes us on a tour of the future of work and education, introducing us to visionaries whose groundbreaking ideas will soon affect every arena of our lives, from schools with curriculums built around video games to workplaces that use virtual environments to train employees.
