The computer-generated information superhighway could launch a new
renaissance of creativity for millions of visual thinkers! Some of
the greatest minds in politics, science, literature, and the arts
experienced undetected learning disabilities that stopped them from
assimilating information the same way as their peers. Some of our
most original intellects Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Lewis
Carroll, and Winston Churchill relied heavily on visual modes of
thought, processing information in terms of images instead of words
or numbers. In the "Mind's Eye" profiles gifted individuals who
used non-traditional methods in their work as it explodes many
myths about conventional intelligence and charts new vistas for
today's computer visualisation technologies.Thomas G. West examines
the learning difficulties experienced by these people and others,
and how recent neurological research shows an association between
visual talents and verbal difficulties. In the "Mind's Eye" probes
new data on dyslexics to see how computers enhance the creative
potential of visual thinkers, as well as interactive computer
applications to all levels of education and work. Updated with a
new preface, epilogue, and expanded notes, this volume could be the
clarion call for educators and corporations to mine this untapped
resource of highly creative talent in our midst.
