Visual thinking

the hidden gifts of people who think in pictures, patterns, and abstractions
2022
"Temple Grandin . . . transforms our understanding of the different ways our brains are wired. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously understood, she reveals, and a more varied one, from the purest 'object visualizers' like Grandin herself, with their intuitive knack for engineering and problem-solving, to 'visual spatials'--the abstract, mathematical thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. With her genius for demystifying science, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking and its intuitive affinities for design, innovation, and problem-solving. She also makes us aware of how a world geared to the highly verbal screens out visual thinkers from an early age. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and competitiveness, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers"--Provided by publisher.

Doodleville

"Drew never meant for this to happen. She didn't mean for her doodle Mike to steal the centuries-old hat. She also didn't mean for another doodle, Levi, to steal the centuries-old baby (when he was supposed to be returning the coveted hat!). And she definitely didn't mean to send the Art Institute of Chicago into a downward spiral of art-on-art combat. She just wanted to fix a simple mistake! Now everything's gone wrong, and it's mayhem at the museum. Drew is sure she's going to become Public Enemy No. 1, wanted posters and all. But it turns out Drew and her art club might be the museum's only chance for resolution and restoration. Can they make things right before the countless priceless masterpieces are destroyed forever?"--.
