Professor Ivelin Sardamov's book Mental Penguins: The Neverending Education Crisis and the False Promise of the Information Аge comes out in May next year but is already getting a good deal of attention from reviewers.

"A fabulous integration of the personal narrative and academic form, with a readable, understandable call to alarm for anybody willing to listen." Dr. Stephanie Brown, clinical psychologist, author of SPEED

"He makes a compelling case for reclaiming the less thrilling yet essential gratifications of reading, one child at a time." ~ Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, and Founder of The Heroic Imagination Project

"I literally could not put this book down. Prof. Sardamov makes a passionate, meticulously-researched and utterly compelling case for reinstating reading (yes: old-fashioned text-based reading) at the heart of formal education." Sue Palmer, Literacy specialist, author of Toxic Childhood and Upstart
