on Zoom.
We will be discussing
Visual Thinking
by
Temple Grandin
Our October meeting will be October 24 at 10 a.m. on Zoom. We will be discussing Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions by Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin is one of the world’s most accomplished and well known adults with autism. In this book, she draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers.


Because the fourth Saturday in November falls on Thanksgiving, we will meet on the third Saturday, November 21, at 10 a.m. on Zoom. We will be discussing “Sea of Tranquility” by Emily St. John Mandel. This award-winning novel will offer us an adventure in speculative fiction, an exciting change from our usual selections. A moving story that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful, "Sea of Tranquility" is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that accurately captures the reality of our current moment.
