3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new in this book, April 13, 2002

By	obediah (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Learning Maps and Memory Skills (Paperback)

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.
