Book summary:
From the authors of the now-classic Accelerated Learning comes a brilliant culmination of their groundbreaking ideas. Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century unveils a revolutionary new six-step program that shows you how to develop the core success skills of the twenty-first century--learning faster, remembering more, thinking creatively--skills that can be put to immediate use by individuals as diverse as school children and corporate executives.

Because of today's unprecedented speed of change, it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict what skills will be useful in ten years--in most professions, knowledge is doubling every few years--and no job is forever. As a result, being employable means being flexible and retraining regularly. Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century offers a simple, proven-effective plan that delivers the one key skill every working person, parent, and student must master and every teacher must teach: Learning how to learn and how to think creatively. This extraordinary work shows us how we can learn better--by using the revolutionary MASTER-Mind system.

Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century incorporates a decade of remarkable research findings by eminent neuroscientists and educational psychologists--such as the theory of eight multiple intelligences and the value of emotion for memory--as well as examples from the successful experiences worldwide of accelerated learners of all ages. And it puts forth a clear vision of how the United States can dramatically improve the educational system to remain competitive in the next century. [via]

Book summary:
In this classic study of how people learned to retain vast stores of knowledge before the invention of the printed page, Frances A. Yates traces the art of memory from its treatment by Greek orators, through its Gothic transformations in the Middle Ages, to the occult forms it took in the Renaissance, and finally to its use in the seventeenth century. This book, the first to relate the art of memory to the history of culture as a whole, was revolutionary when it first appeared and continues to mesmerize readers with its lucid and revelatory insights.

Book summary:
The Book of Memory is a magisterial and beautifully illustrated account of the workings and function of memory in medieval society. Memory was the psychological faculty valued above all others in the period stretching from late antiquity through the Renaissance. The prominence given to memory has profound implications for the contemporary understanding of all creative activity, and the social role of literature and art. Drawing on a range of fascinating examples from Dante, Chaucer, and Aquinas to the symbolism of illuminated manuscripts, this unusually wide-ranging book offers new insights into the medieval world.

Book summary:
A companion to Mary Carruthers' earlier study of memory in medieval culture, The Book of Memory, this book, The Craft of Thought, examines medieval monastic meditation as a discipline for making thoughts, and discusses its influence on literature, art, and architecture, deriving examples from a variety of late antique and medieval sources, with excursions into modern architectural memorials. The study emphasizes meditation as an act of literary composition or invention, the techniques of which notably involved both words and making mental "pictures" for thinking and composing. [via]

Book summary:
In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's classic, frightening vision of the future, firemen don't put out fires--they start them in order to burn books. Bradbury's vividly painted society holds up the appearance of happiness as the highest goal--a place where trivial information is good, and knowledge and ideas are bad. Fire Captain Beatty explains it this way, "Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs.... Don't give them slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy."
Guy Montag is a book-burning fireman undergoing a crisis of faith. His wife spends all day with her television "family," imploring Montag to work harder so that they can afford a fourth TV wall. Their dull, empty life sharply contrasts with that of his next-door neighbor Clarisse, a young girl thrilled by the ideas in books, and more interested in what she can see in the world around her than in the mindless chatter of the tube. When Clarisse disappears mysteriously, Montag is moved to make some changes, and starts hiding books in his home. Eventually, his wife turns him in, and he must answer the call to burn his secret cache of books. After fleeing to avoid arrest, Montag winds up joining an outlaw band of scholars who keep the contents of books in their heads, waiting for the time society will once again need the wisdom of literature.
Bradbury--the author of more than 500 short stories, novels, plays, and poems, including The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man--is the winner of many awards, including the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. Readers ages 13 to 93 will be swept up in the harrowing suspense of Fahrenheit 451, and no doubt will join the hordes of Bradbury fans worldwide. --Neil Roseman [via]

Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition

› Find signed collectible books: 'Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition'
Book summary:
The leading Renaissance scholar of her time, Frances Yates revolutionised the study of the history of art, science and ideas. She demonstrated that ideas and practices once considered marginal such as hermeticism and alchemy were actually at the forefront of the renaissance mind. Yates was a pioneer in her emphasis on visual culture and many of her works are richly illustrated with the iconography of symbolism of occult philosophy. Her magisterial studies address subjects as diverse as: Shakespeares last plays late medieval tapestry Italian renaissance philosophy the Rosicrucians For forty years of her life Frances Yates was associated with the Warburg Institute. Awarded a DBE for services to renaissance studies in 1977, she was a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Society of Literature. This set provides immediate access to the work of this most important of late twentieth century philosophers. Volumes are also available individually. The Valois Tapestries 0415-22044-0 This extensively illustrated volume presents the extravagant tapestries of the Uffizi as documents, subtly woven into the fabric of cultural and political history. Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition 0415-22045-9 Giordano Bruno, perhaps the best-known philosopher of the Italian Renaissance, is here, for the first time, placed within the context of the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition. Yates explores how Renaissance Hermeticism stimulated new attitudes towards the cosmos and towards working with cosmic forces. Bruno emerges as a Hermetic Philosopher and magician with an unorthodox religious message. Even his support of Copernicus is associated with solar magic. This revolutionary reinterpretation profoundly affects our understanding of Bruno and of his death at the stake. The Art of Memory 0415-22046-7 Trained memory was of first importance in the ancient world before printing and paper for taking notes or writing down lectures were available. An art rose in response to this need which relied on architecture and could depend on faculties of intense visual memorization. In this volume, Yates traces this art of memory from Simonides through Aquinas to the Renaissance and the growth of scientific method. The Rosicrucian Enlightenment 0415-22047-5 The Rosicrucian Enlightenment is an enthralling reconstruction of an important yet largely forgotten phase in European thought. A stage between the Renaissance and the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, the Rosicrucian Enlightenment was a striving for spiritual illumination as well as an attempt to advance scientific and intellectual knowledge. This book is the definitive work on the origins of Rosicrucian thought and its influence on politics and great thinkers in seventeenth-century Europe. Frances Yates focuses on the short-lived reign of Frederick, Elector Palatine, and his wife, the daughter of James I, as Winter King and Queen of Bohemia showing that this brief period was a Hermetic golden age, inspired by the Rosicrucian movement. The reconstruction of this phase of European history takes Rosicruianism beyond occult studies and makes it a concern for serious historical enquiry. The intellectual giants of this era, including Francis Bacon, Descartes and Newton, are seen here in new contexts that provide fresh insight into their thought. Among the many other personages and themes discussed are John Dee, Robert Boyles Invisible College, and the rise of the Royal Society and of Freemasonry. Astraea: The Imperial Theme in the Sixteenth Century 0415-22048-3 In this volume, Frances Yates attends to the political dimension of Renaissance thought. She examines the images and symbolism of religion and monarchy, especially in relation to the myth of Astraea. As well as being essential reading for historians of the Renaissance period, the book is of fundamental importance for students of the literature of the Elizabethan period. Frances Yates shows how Spensers Fairie Queene E grew out of the Accession Day Tilts and the imagery deployed in them, and demonstrates that Shakespeares preoccupation with Monarchy, with a rule of justice and purity as opposed to the forces of evil, grew out of the contemporary preoccupation with a religious imperial theme. The book as a whole forms a unity - an approach to history through imagery - and includes many illustrations, which are in themselves historical documents. Shakespeares Last Plays: A New Approach 0415-22049-1 Drawing together many years of research on Renaissance symbolism and the Hermetic tradition, Frances Yates tackles Shakespearean problems, with startlingly original results. Her approach makes possible a new interpretation of Cymbeline, relating its imagery to the revival of Tudor mythology the influence of the Tudor imperial reform and religious toleration in Henry VIII the role of magic in the last plays whose magical-mystical atmosphere is compared with that of the Rosicrucian movement in Germany with which it is suggested that Shakespeare was in sympathy Ben Jonsons attitude to Shakespeare. The book connects closely with Astraea and The Rosicrucian Enlightenment and it suggests entirely new and exciting routes into the understanding of Shakespeares attitude to the religious problems of his age. The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age 0415-220505 A central theme of this book is the history of Christian Cabala, the Christian interpretation of the Jewish mystical tradition. It was believed that when God gave the Law to Moses, he also gave a revelation of the secret meaning of the Law. This esoteric tradition was interpreted in a Christian sense by Pico della Mirandola, the founder of Christian Cabala, with which he associated Hermeticism. Part I discusses the occult philosophy in Renaissance and Reformation, showing its wide influence and reactions against it as magic. Part II traces the influence of the occult philosophy on major Elizabethan writers such as Spenser, Marlowe, Chapman and Shakespeare. A major theme throughout the book is the importance of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 in spreading Cabalist notions among Christians. The presence of Jewish influence in the Elizabethan age is hinted at, and the return of the Jews to England in the reign of Charles II is seen as the culmination of trends linking Albion with Jerusalem, even in the Elizabethan age. This is discussed in Part III. The book uses Frances Yatess other works on the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition, whilst attempting a new presentation of Christian Cabala. In her study of the imagery with which the poets express occult philosophy, she draws on her work Astraea E on the Elizabethan imperial reform. Lull & Bruno (Collected essays) 0415-22051-3 The essays collected here reprint the first sketches, dating from 1939 to 1960, which were to form Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition. They contain much material not used in that book, however, and they also look forward to what became The Art of Memory. Renaissance and Reform: The Italian Contribution (Collected essays) 0415-22052-1 This book brings together Frances Yatess research on Italian subjects, drawn from all periods of her long and distinguished career. Beginning with an account of how she first became involved with Italian cultural and intellectual history, the essays collected here cover a wide range of topics, some taking up and adding to themes explored in her books, others breaking new ground. Included are articles on aspects of Giordano Bruno, teachers of Italian in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, Shakespeare and the Platonic tradition, and a fourteenth century treatise on artificial memory, as well as essays on Paolo Sarpi, Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and on the Hebrew teachers of Pico della Mirandola and other philosophers of the Italian Renaissance. Ideas and Ideals in the North European Renaissance 0415-22239-7 This volume comprises Yatess papers and reviews on topics concerning England, France, the Netherlands and Germany during the epoch of the Renaissance and Reformation. The essays are drawn from all periods of Yatess long career and cover a wide range of subjects: English allegorical portraiture in the Elizabethan age Yatess early and late contributions on Shakespeare, Jonson, John Dee and Francis Bacon English Protestant attitudes to religious images and to martyrdom French drama Theocratic and apocalyptic politics European influence of printing and of Erasmus, Cornelius Agrippa, Copernicus and Newton. Also included is a selection from Yatess notes on her early publications and first acquaintance with the Warburg Institute as well as a brief autobiographical account of her early life. A full list of her writings completes the book and rounds out the picture of a remarkable historian. [via]

Kanji Pict-O-Graphix: Over 1,000 Japanese Kanji and Kana Mnemonics

› Find signed collectible books: 'Kanji Pict-O-Graphix: Over 1,000 Japanese Kanji and Kana Mnemonics'
Book summary:
How does one learn kanji, the characters of written Japanese? The traditional approach is rote memorization. Japanese children write each kanji hundreds of times at their desks, and eventually they are acquired. Michael Rowley offers a different way, a mnemonic-association approach that provides a hook on which to hang the meaning and retrieve it easily when the kanji comes into view. The concept is simple: each character is represented under the word or concept it stands for (such as turf, bamboo, eat, or duty), followed by the pronunciations of the word in Chinese and Japanese, and a drawing that captures the meaning and resembles the character enough so that it'll come to mind whenever the kanji is seen.
Organized thematically in chapters such as "Power," "Places," "Tools," "The World," "Food," "People," and "The Body," Rowley's book lets you learn the root symbols before teaching the words that add to them for further meanings. For example, the character for water is a splatter of three dashes that Rowley pictures as three splashing water drops. Later, you see that steam, float, boil, dirt, and bathe all build on the water character. For steam, there's the water character plus a series of lines that Rowley exaggerates to resemble swirling, vapory tendrils, and the association helps. Building on units of memory and relationship, recall is aided considerably by the simple yet evocative drawings. Rowley even manages to help with the hiragana and katakana syllabaries, providing appealing pictures that look a bit like the letters in question and begin with the same sounds. So the na letter looks like a knot, nu resembles Rowley's drawing of noodles held by chopsticks, and it's easier to remember which symbol means te when you picture a telephone pole.
It's hard to do Rowley's book justice with words, since the visual element is what makes it tick. He does a wonderful job, blending insight, imagination, and drawing technique, in a book that far surpasses the old rote method, making kanji learning both appealing and accessible. --Stephanie Gold [via]

Book summary:
Matteo Ricci (1552-1616), an Italian Jesuit, entered China in 1583 to spread Catholicism in the largely Confucian country. In order to make a persuasive argument for the educated Chinese to abandon their traditional faith for the new one he was carrying, Ricci realized that he would have to prove the general superiority of Western culture. He did so by teaching young Confucian scholars tricks to increase their memory skills--an important advantage in a nation with countless laws and rituals that had to be learned by heart. Ricci attracted numerous students with this method; more important, Ricci came to have a sympathetic understanding for China that he communicated to Rome, and thence to the European nations at large. Spence's portrait of Ricci is a gem of historical writing. --Gregory MacNamee [via]

Book summary:
The brain is a fearsomely complex information-processing environment--one that often eludes our ability to understand it. At any given time, the brain is collecting, filtering, and analyzing information and, in response, performing countless intricate processes, some of which are automatic, some voluntary, some conscious, and some unconscious.
Cognitive neuroscience is one of the ways we have to understand the workings of our minds. It's the study of the brain biology behind our mental functions: a collection of methods--like brain scanning and computational modeling--combined with a way of looking at psychological phenomena and discovering where, why, and how the brain makes them happen.
Want to know more? Mind Hacks is a collection of probes into the moment-by-moment works of the brain. Using cognitive neuroscience, these experiments, tricks, and tips related to vision, motor skills, attention, cognition, subliminal perception, and more throw light on how the human brain works. Each hack examines specific operations of the brain. By seeing how the brain responds, we pick up clues about the architecture and design of the brain, learning a little bit more about how the brain is put together.
Mind Hacks begins your exploration of the mind with a look inside the brain itself, using hacks such as "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Turn On and Off Bits of the Brain" and "Tour the Cortex and the Four Lobes." Also among the 100 hacks in this book, you'll find:
Release Eye Fixations for Faster Reactions
See Movement When All is Still
Feel the Presence and Loss of Attention
Detect Sounds on the Margins of Certainty
Mold Your Body Schema
Test Your Handedness
See a Person in Moving Lights
Make Events Understandable as Cause-and-Effect
Boost Memory by Using Context
Understand Detail and the Limits of Attention
Steven Johnson, author of "Mind Wide Open" writes in his foreword to the book, "These hacks amaze because they reveal the brain's hidden logic; they shed light on the cheats and shortcuts and latent assumptions our brains make about the world." If you want to know more about what's going on in your head, then Mind Hacks is the key--let yourself play with the interface between you and the world.

Selected Works of Frances Yates

› Find signed collectible books: 'Selected Works of Frances Yates'
Book summary:
The leading Renaissance scholar of her time, Frances Yates revolutionised the study of the history of art, science and ideas. She demonstrated that ideas and practices once considered marginal such as hermeticism and alchemy were actually at the forefront of the renaissance mind. Yates was a pioneer in her emphasis on visual culture and many of her works are richly illustrated with the iconography of symbolism of occult philosophy. Her magisterial studies address subjects as diverse as: Shakespeares last plays late medieval tapestry Italian renaissance philosophy the Rosicrucians For forty years of her life Frances Yates was associated with the Warburg Institute. Awarded a DBE for services to renaissance studies in 1977, she was a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Society of Literature. This set provides immediate access to the work of this most important of late twentieth century philosophers. Volumes are also available individually. The Valois Tapestries 0415-22044-0 This extensively illustrated volume presents the extravagant tapestries of the Uffizi as documents, subtly woven into the fabric of cultural and political history. Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition 0415-22045-9 Giordano Bruno, perhaps the best-known philosopher of the Italian Renaissance, is here, for the first time, placed within the context of the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition. Yates explores how Renaissance Hermeticism stimulated new attitudes towards the cosmos and towards working with cosmic forces. Bruno emerges as a Hermetic Philosopher and magician with an unorthodox religious message. Even his support of Copernicus is associated with solar magic. This revolutionary reinterpretation profoundly affects our understanding of Bruno and of his death at the stake. The Art of Memory 0415-22046-7 Trained memory was of first importance in the ancient world before printing and paper for taking notes or writing down lectures were available. An art rose in response to this need which relied on architecture and could depend on faculties of intense visual memorization. In this volume, Yates traces this art of memory from Simonides through Aquinas to the Renaissance and the growth of scientific method. The Rosicrucian Enlightenment 0415-22047-5 The Rosicrucian Enlightenment is an enthralling reconstruction of an important yet largely forgotten phase in European thought. A stage between the Renaissance and the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, the Rosicrucian Enlightenment was a striving for spiritual illumination as well as an attempt to advance scientific and intellectual knowledge. This book is the definitive work on the origins of Rosicrucian thought and its influence on politics and great thinkers in seventeenth-century Europe. Frances Yates focuses on the short-lived reign of Frederick, Elector Palatine, and his wife, the daughter of James I, as Winter King and Queen of Bohemia showing that this brief period was a Hermetic golden age, inspired by the Rosicrucian movement. The reconstruction of this phase of European history takes Rosicruianism beyond occult studies and makes it a concern for serious historical enquiry. The intellectual giants of this era, including Francis Bacon, Descartes and Newton, are seen here in new contexts that provide fresh insight into their thought. Among the many other personages and themes discussed are John Dee, Robert Boyles Invisible College, and the rise of the Royal Society and of Freemasonry. Astraea: The Imperial Theme in the Sixteenth Century 0415-22048-3 In this volume, Frances Yates attends to the political dimension of Renaissance thought. She examines the images and symbolism of religion and monarchy, especially in relation to the myth of Astraea. As well as being essential reading for historians of the Renaissance period, the book is of fundamental importance for students of the literature of the Elizabethan period. Frances Yates shows how Spensers Fairie Queene E grew out of the Accession Day Tilts and the imagery deployed in them, and demonstrates that Shakespeares preoccupation with Monarchy, with a rule of justice and purity as opposed to the forces of evil, grew out of the contemporary preoccupation with a religious imperial theme. The book as a whole forms a unity - an approach to history through imagery - and includes many illustrations, which are in themselves historical documents. Shakespeares Last Plays: A New Approach 0415-22049-1 Drawing together many years of research on Renaissance symbolism and the Hermetic tradition, Frances Yates tackles Shakespearean problems, with startlingly original results. Her approach makes possible a new interpretation of Cymbeline, relating its imagery to the revival of Tudor mythology the influence of the Tudor imperial reform and religious toleration in Henry VIII the role of magic in the last plays whose magical-mystical atmosphere is compared with that of the Rosicrucian movement in Germany with which it is suggested that Shakespeare was in sympathy Ben Jonsons attitude to Shakespeare. The book connects closely with Astraea and The Rosicrucian Enlightenment and it suggests entirely new and exciting routes into the understanding of Shakespeares attitude to the religious problems of his age. The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age 0415-220505 A central theme of this book is the history of Christian Cabala, the Christian interpretation of the Jewish mystical tradition. It was believed that when God gave the Law to Moses, he also gave a revelation of the secret meaning of the Law. This esoteric tradition was interpreted in a Christian sense by Pico della Mirandola, the founder of Christian Cabala, with which he associated Hermeticism. Part I discusses the occult philosophy in Renaissance and Reformation, showing its wide influence and reactions against it as magic. Part II traces the influence of the occult philosophy on major Elizabethan writers such as Spenser, Marlowe, Chapman and Shakespeare. A major theme throughout the book is the importance of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 in spreading Cabalist notions among Christians. The presence of Jewish influence in the Elizabethan age is hinted at, and the return of the Jews to England in the reign of Charles II is seen as the culmination of trends linking Albion with Jerusalem, even in the Elizabethan age. This is discussed in Part III. The book uses Frances Yatess other works on the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition, whilst attempting a new presentation of Christian Cabala. In her study of the imagery with which the poets express occult philosophy, she draws on her work Astraea E on the Elizabethan imperial reform. Lull & Bruno (Collected essays) 0415-22051-3 The essays collected here reprint the first sketches, dating from 1939 to 1960, which were to form Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition. They contain much material not used in that book, however, and they also look forward to what became The Art of Memory. Renaissance and Reform: The Italian Contribution (Collected essays) 0415-22052-1 This book brings together Frances Yatess research on Italian subjects, drawn from all periods of her long and distinguished career. Beginning with an account of how she first became involved with Italian cultural and intellectual history, the essays collected here cover a wide range of topics, some taking up and adding to themes explored in her books, others breaking new ground. Included are articles on aspects of Giordano Bruno, teachers of Italian in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, Shakespeare and the Platonic tradition, and a fourteenth century treatise on artificial memory, as well as essays on Paolo Sarpi, Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and on the Hebrew teachers of Pico della Mirandola and other philosophers of the Italian Renaissance. Ideas and Ideals in the North European Renaissance 0415-22239-7 This volume comprises Yatess papers and reviews on topics concerning England, France, the Netherlands and Germany during the epoch of the Renaissance and Reformation. The essays are drawn from all periods of Yatess long career and cover a wide range of subjects: English allegorical portraiture in the Elizabethan age Yatess early and late contributions on Shakespeare, Jonson, John Dee and Francis Bacon English Protestant attitudes to religious images and to martyrdom French drama Theocratic and apocalyptic politics European influence of printing and of Erasmus, Cornelius Agrippa, Copernicus and Newton. Also included is a selection from Yatess notes on her early publications and first acquaintance with the Warburg Institute as well as a brief autobiographical account of her early life. A full list of her writings completes the book and rounds out the picture of a remarkable historian. [via]
