Pls help me a little with grammar

Hi,

I read the following sentences from the official IELTS exam:

Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning.

From a beginning sentence above, I've come up with 2 questions as shown below:

1) am I right that the word "radical" is one of adjectives that describe the noun "approaches"?
2) If I'm correct with Q1, why the adjective radical comes before the word "new"? is that grammatically correct? and can I say "new radical approaches"? does it make any difference?

Thanks in advance,
