In
the Mind's Eye
|
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.
Critics:
Exposes myths about conventional intelligence by examining the
role of visual-spatial strengths and verbal weaknesses in the lives of
11 gifted individuals, including Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Examines
research in neuroscience that shows a link between visual talents and
verbal difficulties, and discusses developments in computer technology
that herald a shift toward the increased use of visual approaches in business
and science. This revised edition offers an expanded list of national and
international organizations, and an updated bibliography. Includes b&w
photos and illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or

Uniquely Gifted: Identifying and Meeting the Needs of the Twice
Exceptional Student
by Kay Kiesa
|
From The Critics
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.

Keeping A Head In School: A Student's Book about Learning Abilities and
Learning Disorders
|
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.
