Now, thanks to David Franklin\'s remarkable book, anyone can be a fly on the wall in the class that persuaded generations of future leaders to love statistics.

It argues that the learning environment is composed of Invisible bonds between students and teacher, and considers how he strengthens those bonds and uses them to maximise learning.

Dan Levy is famous at Harvard for his inclusive learning environment, which leaves students feeling not just confident about using statistics in the real world, but also seen, heard and loved.
