Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College by Mark C. Carnes explores how students' competitive impulses are channeled into transformative learning experiences through role-immersion games. Based on interviews with scores of students and faculty who have used the Reacting to the Past pedagogy, this book reveals how these games have spread to over three hundred campuses worldwide, offering benefits that defy expectations. The author's discussion highlights the potential of student-centered approaches like Reacting [to the Past] to spark student engagement in higher education. By examining the impact of these games on learning and teaching, Carnes offers a compelling case for this innovative approach. This book is a highly engaging study of a 'new' technique that could change the way educators bring students to learning in the 21st century. With its focus on the transformative power of role-immersion games, Minds on Fire provides valuable insights into the future of higher education.
