Interesting, interactive popular book about a vital subject 1998-12-25
This husband and wife team have written a winning book about a very important subject--the brain. Dr. Winter is a neurosurgeon and director of the New Jersey Neurological Institute. Ruth Winter has an M.S. and is a colulmnist and author of numerous popular health and science books. They are a winning writing team because this book is informative and easy to read. I especially enjoyed the excellent activities and brain-building examples that are included, such as the list memorization (on page 98) and the face identification (on pages 98-100). There is a glossary in the back and lots of information on the numerous aspects of our brain that we should exercise--which will improve the brain's function. I am especially intrigued by this book because my 76 year old mother recently started learning how to play bridge. She told me she was doing it partly because it was important for her to learn something new as a way of keeping her brain functioning better! Sound advice for us all as this excellent book attests! As the subtitle indicates: "Easy Ways to Power UP Your Memory, Sensory Perception, and Intelligence"


nothing you haven't read before 1998-06-23
Overall, the suggestions for powering up your brain are very easy. Many of the techniques are very similar to what you probably no doubt have read in popular magazines. However, there are quite a large number of techniques that focus more on the psychokinetics of improving brain-power, such as challenging your senses. The book also dips briefly into mnemonics, but only gives you a taste -- it sends you to other books for further reference. So, if you're looking for something substantial, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for ideas brainstormed by other people, then you might want to look at this.
