Resistance and Persuasion

So, this is one book I have been meaning to look into for a while. Teaching might be, to some extent, about exploring and leveraging the resistance students present to new knowledge. I have never read nothing on the theme of resistance and maybe 'Resistance and Persuasion' by Eric Knowles and Jay Linn is something we can look into: "...This book explores persuasion by considering its antithesis: resistance. Resistance hounds persuasion the way friction frustrates motion. To accomplish the latter, you have to expect and, preferably, manage the former. It makes sense that those who desire to understand persuasion should also seek to understand the nature and operation of resistance to persuasion..."
