zlib_text: “I truly believe that the format, content, and structure of this book is so
  dramatically different from the traditional genre of books about reading
  research and theory building that it has the potential to bring about a Kuhn-
  ian revolution in reading research and theory development on a number of
  levels. . . . Instead of tediously presenting research ﬁndings and interpreting
  what they mean for reading educators, this book leads its readers on a journey
  which subtly persuades them to explore and examine their own and others’
  reading behavior in ways that induce deeper understandings of the complexity
  of human symbolic behavior in general and the act of reading in particular. 
  . . .  I’m hopeful that this book will mark the beginning of a movement to
  rework reading and learning to read using the tools and perspectives from a
  wide range of more successful scientiﬁc disciplines.”
