More About the Author
Nancy began her career as an author with a call from Zephyr Press (Tucson, AZ) asking if she could write a "book on doodling". She wrote, Mapping Inner Space, a book that goes way beyond doodling and inspires parents, teachers and learners of all ages to learn to put their ideas on paper using images and limited words. The book was a best-seller for a decade for Zephyr Press and as a result they asked Nancy to create comics for them videos, and other products that helped students understand the ways they are smart. Nancy wen ton to write other books for various publishers and is currently completing a book about memories of childhood abuse that is illustrated like a watercolor journal. In addition Nancy has worked around the world with such well-respected authors as Peter Senge and Margaret Wheatley as well as with President Clinton, Al Gore and their Cabinet. Still reading?

Format:Paperback
This is actually the updated version of the author's earlier book bearing the same title. It has been fully expanded to cater to professional and businesspeople, and is now packed with many colourful illustrations.
I am very confident businesspeople will find this book useful in enhancing and expanding their visual-perceptual mode of thinking and problem solving.
In this book, the author stretches the traditional boundary of mindmapping as created by Tony Buzan in his many proprietary "Mindmapping" books since the mid-70s.
The author breaks some traditional "Mindmapping" rules in the process, which she now calls "Mindscaping." This enables the reader to exercise the untapped and unlimited potential of the mind to create new working maps in the process of learning and thinking.
For professionals and businesspeople, her 'mindscaping' approaches can be adapted to suit any 'focused conversations' in a group or organisational setting.
I find Tony Buzan somewhat structured in his proprietary approach, and it is good that Nancy has done an excellent job to take a refreshing and "out-of-the-box" approach to traditional mindmapping. This gives much more meaning to the mindmapping process as it should be in the first place, and now makes it much easier to learn and apply in the real world.
For those readers who still think 'mindmapping' (or Tony Buzan) is great stuff, wait till you get hold of this book!
For beginners, Nancy's book is also a great help as she shows how to do simple iconic pictures.
For further exploration, I would recommend readers to buy and read Larry Raymond's Reinventing Communication, which showcases more business applications, particularly in the area of strategic planning. Milli Sonneman's Beyond Words is also worth exploring, especially in the area of group problem solving.
Kathy Mason's Going Beyond Words and David Hyerle's Visual Tools for Constructing Knowledge are also worth pursuing, especially if you are in the teaching/academic environment.

Format:Paperback
The idea of mapping is not new to me, but actually using it as a tool in teaching and for my personal life is. Nancy Margulies' excellent book shows, in just enough detail, how to create a map for many different purposes, directions for using with different ages - children through adults; gives suggestions for drawing concepts in a simplified way, and offers encouragement to just do it. The only suggestion I have for improvement is to update the website info at the end of the book.
