This book is a good example of the trend of retrodiagnosing historical figures, in this case mainly with dyslexia. There is a good deal of fascinating biographical information in this book. I was especially interested in the description of Benoit Mandelbrot. But it also uses some fairly dated definitions of neurological conditions, and I am not sure whether even the broad version of "dyslexia" the author uses, fits all the (mostly dead) people described or not.

This inspiring book profiles gifted individuals who used nontraditional methods in their work as it explodes many myths about conventional intelligence and charts new vistas for today's computer visualization technologies. Some of our most original intellects--Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Lewis Carroll, and Winston Churchill--relied heavily on visual modes of thought, processing information in terms of images instead of words or numbers. Thomas G. West examines the learning difficulties experienced by both famous and everyday people, and he explores how recent neurological research shows an association between visual talents and verbal difficulties. In the Mind's Eye probes new data on dyslexics to see how computers enhance the creative potential of visual thinkers, as well as interactive computer applications at all levels of education and work. Updated with a new preface, epilogue, and expanded notes, this volume could be the clarion call for educators and corporations to mine this untapped resource of highly creative talent in our midst.
