| From the Publisher: In this updated edition to his fascinating exploration of the "ironies of creativity," Thomas West furthers his ground-breaking research on how some innovations in computer visualization are making work and education more favorable to visual thinkers. In the Mind's Eye exposes many popular myths about conventional intelligence by examining the role of visual-spatial strengths and verbal weaknesses in the lives of eleven gifted individuals, including Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, and others. West cites research in neuroscience that shows a link between visual talents and verbal difficulties, and he believes that new developments in computer technology herald a significant shift toward the increased use of visual approaches throughout the economy. These changes may be as revolutionary as the technology of the book, which translated ideas into written words. The use of visualization and virtual reality computer displays has already begun to move out of the world of science into that business, representing marketing trends through moving pictures rather than tiresome charts and tables of numbers. According to West, creative visual thinkers (many of whom have had difficulty with verbal skills), aided by computers, will be at the forefront of innovation in a dramatically changing society. |

Internet Book Watch In Uniquely Gifted: Identifying And Meeting The Needs Of The Twice-Exceptional Student, Kiesa Kay has amassed a wealth of insightful, informative, and occasionally challenging contributions from some of the finest minds in this specialized area of modern education theory and practice. The contributed essays are divided into four major sections: Family Matters - Perspectives from Family Members; Teaching Strategies - Learning and Leadership; Research and Theory - Discovering Possibilities; Administrative Options - Working Together. A highly recommended addition to education studies reading lists, Uniquely Gifted is further enhanced for the reader with a bibliography, Sandra Berger's "Internet Resources for Expanding Options in the Classroom; George Betts and Jolene Kercher's "The Autonomous Learner Model"; a section of notes on the contributors, and a striking conclusion "If Not You, Who?". Education Book Reviews Often teachers and society see the gifted student as an automatic academic success, winning awards and getting "A's" with relative ease and contentment. Problems in school are not supposed to be part of the package. Educational experts often speak of the academic privileges of the "elite." This book illustrates that reality is not so simple or pleasant. Kay makes a valuable technical resource powerful by including an opening section of personal stories by children and parents dealing with often-extreme intellectual precociousness, combined with frequently significant disabilities. |

From the Publisher Keeping A Head in School: A Student's Book about Learning Abilities and Learning Disorders is written for students ages 9 to 15 years of age with learning disorders. This book helps students gain important insights into their problems by combining realism with justifiable optimism. Dr. Levine helps students not only understand their own strengths and weaknesses but also more fully appreciate their individuality. Most chapters begin with a case study based on the life-like situation of a student with one or more learning disorders. Each student's story is followed by questions to think about after reading the entire chapter. Throughout the book, diagrams, lists, and drawings illustrate important concepts. Keeping A Head in School is effective as a shared reading experience: for example, parents and children can read the book together, developing a common vocabulary and understanding about the learning process. A tutor, counselor, or psychotherapist can discuss a particular chapter with a student and/or parent. Other uses are as a resource in a course on health, development, learning, or psychology in the secondary school; or as reading matter for siblings or friends of students with learning disorders. |
All Kinds of Minds: A Young Student's Book About Learing Abilities and Learing Disorders |
From the Publisher: All Kinds of Minds: This book was written to help children in the elementary grades understand how they learn, how weaknesses make learning difficult, and how their strengths can be used to improve their learning skills. As the title indicates, minds vary - none is perfect -and everyone needs to appreciate all kinds of minds. All Kinds of Minds is a mainly fictitious account of 5 appealing and realistic children. Each of them has 1 or more learning disorders. Young readers will easily identify with the experiences of the characters as they appear in a variety of situations: humorous, serious, suspenseful, and sometimes sad. During the first 7 fictitious chapters, each of the main characters learn about getting help from others, helping themselves, and building on their strengths. The final chapter, which is nonfiction, reviews important concepts and facts that appear in the preceding chapters. It also offers young readers suggestions for overcoming the effects of learning disorders. Some children will be able to read All Kinds of Minds on their own; others may require some help from an adult. Still others may need an adult to read the book to them as they look on. |
Guidelines For All Kinds Of Minds: A Manual for Adults to Use in Their Work with Children |
From The Publisher: Guidelines for All Kinds of Minds was written to facilitate the use of All Kinds of Minds. For each chapter of the children's book, the Guidelines offers topics to discuss, indicates points to emphasize and states core messages to stress. The final chapter can be utilized in several ways, and includes some additional issues for discussion. |
A Mind at a Time: America's Top Learning Expert Shows how Every Child Can Succeed |
Using personal stories of clients
he has treated, Dr. Mel Levine -- an expert in the field of child
development
and learning -- makes accessible the very complex workings of the brain
and
supplies ample ways in which parents and teachers can help children
work
past their limitations and enhance their strengths. Levine explains
that
each child is equipped with a different type of mind, one with its own
strengths
and weaknesses, and a child's failure to succeed in some aspect of
schoolwork
is actually a failure of teachers and parents to reach this child's
particular
strength. Through the book, the author hopes to motivate parents and
teachers
to recognize each child's individual talents and unique way of
learning.
The approach recommended here will enrich children's learning
experiences
and build their self-worth. (read
