This book was written almost 50 years ago and it is still widely used within education around the world. Bloom set out to create a common framework for categorising academic ability and his resulting taxonomy is still the de facto standard for classifying cognitive skills. Don't be put off by the age of the book - it's very readable - which perhaps reflects the timeless nature of his subject matter.

"Patrick Gardiner's beautifully written Kierkegaard makes him come alive both as a thinker and as a human being."--Independent
"Marvellously lucid and readable book."--E. Pivcevic, University of Bristol
