Deep Learning Notes

Bright and spirited Young Adults ... Mentors and Teachers ... Book Discussion Groups ... and anyone who loves learning ...

As you will soon find out, if you have not already, NEBADOR is much more than just an entertaining story.

The particular Muse who inspired the author was obviously concerned about young adults in the early twenty-first century who are about to inherit a very different world than their parents knew. That world will have many fewer "safety nets," and those who have not sharpened their wits and honed their skills may find themselves struggling.

The NEBADOR stories contain many wit-sharpening and skill-honing lessons and situations, and the author has provided the following questions and comments for any reader who wants to learn as much as possible from the same Muse. Some may be useful to all readers, and others are best tackled by advanced students familiar with psychology, sociology, and politics. All readers and teachers must pick and choose for themselves.

The Deep Learning Notes for each book, along with all the illustrations from that book, are available in paperback on the Where to Get It pages.

These notes might spoil some of the suspense of the story, so they are best read AFTER reading the story, or at least after reading each chapter.
