Smart Moves - Why Learning Is Not All In Your Head
by Carla Hannaford PhD

Deeply rooted in our culture is the notion that intellectual activity can somehow exist apart from our bodies, as if our body’s role is simply to carry the brain from place to place so it can do the important work of thinking.
