Now in its fifteenth printing, In the Mind's Eye has been
recognized as a classic in its field. The book still stands alone
as a uniquely compelling argument for the great importance of
visual thinking and visual technologies as well as the high
creative potential of many individuals with dyslexia or other
learning difficulties.
In this second edition, Thomas G. West reviews a number of recent
developments that support and extend the perspectives and
expectations originally set forth in the first edition. In addition
to the original eleven portraits of famous individuals with
learning difficulties (including Albert Einstein and Thomas
Edison), he has added brief profiles of two dyslexic scientists
known for their ability to generate, in quite different fields,
powerful but unexpected innovations and discoveries: William J.
Dreyer, a Caltech professor who used his highly visual imagination
to see things in molecular biology and immunology well before
others; and John R. (Jack) Horner, who flunked out of the
University of Montana seven times (requiring letters of support for
readmission) but is now known as one of the three most important
paleontologists in the world.
Recognized as among the "best of the best" by the American Library
Association in their broad psychology and neuroscience category,
this title belongs on the bookshelves of all educators and anyone
with an interest in visual thinking, visual technologies, and
highly creative people with learning difficulties.
