About This Item
Garden City, NY: Anchor Press/Doubleday, 1980 Anchor Press (Knopf)/Doubleday, Garden City, NY. 1980. Hardcover. First Edition as per Knopf guidelines. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; scant dust-soiling to textblock top. DJ: Near Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($14.95); scant shelfwear to head, tail, and tips. Lavender boards with black cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 275 pp 8vo. From split brain experiments it has been found that each half of the brain is capable of thinking and learning yet only the left brain can express its thoughts in words. It alone uses words to report and analyze our thought processes while the contributions of the right brain are ignored and misunderstood. This book explains how an entire half of our brain has been uneducated by our schools and offers suggestions for how we can learn more easily and better by using our whole brain. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
