Read Better, Remember More (Basics Made Easy) by Elizabeth L. Chesla

Whether you're studying for an exam, making your way through an instructional manual on the job, keeping up with work-related magazines and newspaper articles, or just coping with everyday situations in life, reading often makes the difference between success and failure. But it isn't how fast you read that's important. It's how well you understand what you read and how much of it you remember.

That is why guides to "reading faster" are of little practical use to you. In these pages you'll find easy-to-use techniques to help you remember more of what you read than you ever thought possible.

The Encyclopedia of the Brain and Brain Disorders (Facts on File Library of Health and Living) by Carol A. Turkington

Hardly a week goes by without a news story about brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. General readers who are regularly exposed to information about the brain and brain disorders will appreciate this accessible reference from a medical writer. Containing more than 800 clear, concise entries, the volume also includes three directories (of self-help, professional and governmental organizations), a glossary, and an extensive list of references. An index facilitates access to the wide range of terms that are covered. The first edition, called The Brain Encyclopedia, was published in 1996.

Entries treat Aging and the brain, Brain scans, Circadian rhythm, Down syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, Mapping the brain, Narcolepsy, Postconcussion syndrome, and Slow viruses of the brain, to name just a few topics. The introduction notes that almost every entry has been revised, many with extensive updates. Among the new entries are Ecstasy (MDMA), Mad cow disease, Multiple intelligences, Neurological manifestation of AIDS, Shaken baby syndrome, and entries for each of the four drugs approved to treat Alzheimer's disease. Students interested in the brain and brain disorders will find much of interest here--information on the causes, cures, key research, symptoms, treatments, and trends of each field of study. The Encyclopedia of the Brain and Brain Disorders is useful for brief definitions of terms and ready-reference questions. Lay readers and students will undoubtedly appreciate the jargon-free language. RBB

The Neural Simulation Language: A System for Brain Modeling by Alfredo Weitzenfeld, Michael A. Arbib, and Amanda Alexander

The Neural Simulation Language (NSL), developed by Alfredo Weitzenfeld, Michael Arbib, and Amanda Alexander, provides a simulation environment for modular brain modeling. NSL is an object-oriented language offering object-oriented protocols applicable to all levels of neural simulation. One of NSL's main strengths is that it allows for realistic modeling of the anatomy of macroscopic brain structures. The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents an overview of neural network and schema modeling, a brief history of NSL, and a detailed discussion of the new version, NSL 3.0. It includes tutorials on several basic schema and neural network models. The second part presents models built in NSL by researchers from around the world, including those for conditional learning, face recognition, associative search networks, and visuomotor coordination. Each chapter provides an explanation of a model, an overview of the NSL 3.0 code, and a representative set of simulation results.

Awakening Genius in the Classroom by Thomas Armstrong

"Every student is a genius," declares author Thomas Armstrong, and an educator's most important job is to discover and nurture the "genius qualities" that all students were born with but that may no longer be obvious. Urging readers to look beyond traditional understandings of what constitutes genius, Armstrong describes 12 such qualities: curiosity, playfulness, imagination, creativity, wonder, wisdom, inventiveness, vitality, sensitivity, flexibility, humor, and joy. He cites research in various fields that supports this broader understanding of genius and explains how influences in the home, the popular media, and the school itself "shut down" the genius in students.

Combining thoughtful insights and practical information, Armstrong offers guiding principles to help educators awaken genius in the classroom--beginning with awakening the genius in themselves. Readers will find dozens of suggested activities and helpful resources to provide "genius experiences" and create a "genial climate" in the classroom. In addition, suggestions for further study at the end of each section provide starting points for personal and professional reflection and growth.
