Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With her genius for demystifying science, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed, she reveals, and a more varied one, from the photo-realistic \"object visualizers\" like Grandin herself, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving, to the abstract, mathematically inclined \"visual spatial\" thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a highly competitive world, this important book helps us see, we need every mind on board.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTemple Grandin\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eAnimals in Translation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnimals Make Us Human\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Autistic Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThinking in Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e, which became an HBO movie starring Claire Danes.
