Mar 30 2012: I agree with Nikhil, the separation of learning into subjects early in a child's education really blinkers individuals. The old way of topic based learning is a much better model. After all the invention of the battery came about due to the observation of a fish. Experts in all fields are necessary, but the ability and knowledge of the wider world allows for true innovation.
Look forward to reading your book Nikhil!
