 | Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware (Pragmatic Programmers) by Andy Hunt
Buy new: £14.27 / Used from: £14.48 Written from a computer programmer's perspective but probably the best thing I've read on the subject. Exhaustively referenced.
|
 | The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance by Josh Waitzkin
Buy new: £5.16 / Used from: £3.25 Chess & Tai-Chi but generalised to most things. One for learners rather that teachers perhaps.

![Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School [Large Print]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41f-xfeNMcL._SL75_.jpg) | Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School [Large Print] by John Medina
Buy new: £12.75 / Used from: £33.12 Chatty, opinionated and occassionally smug but bang up to date on the neuroscience. Read this for the real thing rather than all that NLP nonsense.

 | Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot by Richard Restak
Buy new: £6.26 / Used from: £3.24 Heavy on theory but with lots of practical exercises and mercifully broken into easily digestible chunks.
|
 | Learning How to Learn by Joseph D. Novak
Buy new: £16.99 / Used from: £15.28 ridiculously overpriced and written with all the style you would expect from academic educational theorists... Important nonetheless
|
 | The Effective Teaching of Biology (Effective Teacher, The) by Chris Brown
Buy new: £22.99 / Used from: £27.23 OK so I'm biased; this was written by one of the people who trained me. It is an excellent book and one of very few specifically about biology.

Listmania!
