Now in its revised and expanded second edition, Learning Maps And Memory Skills by Ingemar Svantesson (an expert and veteran conductor of more than one thousand seminars throughout Scandinavia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand on the theory and practice of learning maps and memory skills) is the distillation of an impressive body of the wisdom, insight and advice. Offering an invaluable series of sound "tips, tricks, and techniques" for enhancing memory, problem solving ability, brainstorming techniques, remembering key points from meetings, and so much more, Learning Maps And Memory Skills is an excellent mental enhancement guide which is readily applicable and easily accessible to non-specialist general readers regardless of their education or socioeconomic backgrounds.

This book is about using both sides of your brain in a synergistic fashion. The book teaches you about using "learning maps" to improve the learning process by using your visual skills and imagination. There is also a brief overview of memory techniques.

The book is very easy to read. It is fairly small, concise and covers the topic in a no-nonsense manner. The book contains useful tips, examples and practical applications of the tools described. Note that these "learning maps" are identical to the mind maps promoted by Tony Buzan... Although the book is a good introductory text, I found the treatment rather shallow I would have preferred a book with more detail.

If you're completely new to the concept of mind mapping and memory techniques, this book could server as a good primer. Else, have a look at the books of Tony Buzan they're much more worthwhile.

Another small mind map book with application, but use the name Learning map.
