VISUAL THINKING - TEMPLE PHD GRANDIN KARTONIERT...

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE NAUTILUS GOLD AWARD A powerful and provocative
testament to the diverse coalition of minds we ll need to face the mounting challenges of the
twenty-first century. Steve Silberman An absolute eye-opener. Frans de WaalA landmark book that
reveals  celebrates  and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkers A
quarter of a century after her memoir  Thinking in Pictures  forever changed how the world
understood autism  Temple Grandin an anthropologist on Mars  as Oliver Sacks dubbed her
transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense
of direction  a love of puzzles  the ability to assemble furniture without crying? You are
likely a visual thinker. With her genius for demystifying science  Grandin draws on
cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far
greater proportion of the population than previously believed  she reveals  and a more varied
one  from the photo-realistic object visualizers like Grandin herself  with their intuitive
knack for design and problem solving  to the abstract  mathematically inclined visual spatial
thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand
how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers  screening them
out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their
singular gifts  driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation  Grandin proposes new
approaches to educating  parenting  employing  and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a
highly competitive world  this important book helps us see  we need every mind on board.
