5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent visual thinking application book, April 4, 2000

By	Lee Say Keng "KNOWLEDGE ADVENTURER/TECHNOLOGY... (Singapore) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

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 beginners, Nancy's book is also a great help as she shows how to do simple iconic pictures.

For more interesting ideas, I would recommend readers to buy and read Milli S!onnenman's Beyond Words, which showcases some business applications.

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.

I understand that the author is coming up with an expanded version for business applications. Watch out for it at Amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for all school libraries., September 9, 1997

By A Customer

The author's enthusiasm for mind mapping is infectious and makes the reader feel that anyone can use this technique to organize their thoughts and be creative at the same time. The use of humor and a wealth of examples makes the process of learning mind mapping effortless. The liberal use of color and pictures in the mindmaps appeals to the kid in all of us who can not resist doodling with that magic marker

5.0 out of 5 stars wide-ranging application of mindmapping theory and technique, November 8, 1999

By	SuZ Garcia (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Not only does this book contain the basics of mindmapping techniques pioneered by Tony Buzan, it presents something that many of us are lacking -- stroke by stroke exercises in drawing simple iconic figures that can be quickly mastered and incorporated into your mindmaps....as someone who is "graphically challenged" I particularly appreciated these drawing lessons!
