Those who believe that human intelligence rests on language are in for a sophisticated lesson from Temple Grandin, who better than anyone knows all the other ways of grasping the world. An absolute eye-opener -- Frans de Waal, author of Mamas Last Hug and Different Drawing on cutting-edge research, the history of science, recent discoveries in creativity and innovation, and her own lived experience, Grandin has created a powerful and provocative testament to the diverse coalition of minds we'll need to face the mounting challenges of the twenty-first century -- Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity Temple Grandin has concocted a delicious dish of provocative ideas and new research, served in clear, logical, fluid prose. What I love most about her work is her seamless fusion of scientific detachment and passionate empathy -- Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind If you want to understand how a self- described 'visual thinker' apprehends, understands, and explains the world, Temple Grandin's fine book is for you -- Howard Gardner, author of Multiple Intelligences and Frames of Mind
