Juvenile Nonfiction. Science. Sociology. Technology. HTML:From world-renowned autism spokesperson, scientist, and inventor Temple Grandin â?? a book of personal stories, inventions, and facts that will blow young inventors' minds and make them soar.
Have you ever wondered what makes a kite fly or a boat float? Have you ever thought about why snowflakes are symmetrical, or why golf balls have dimples? Have you ever tried to make a kaleidoscope or build a pair of stilts?
In Calling All Minds, Temple Grandin explores the ideas behind all of those questions and more. She delves into the science behind inventions, the steps various people took to create and improve upon ideas as they evolved, and the ways in which young inventors can continue to think about and understand what it means to tinker, to fiddle, and to innovate. And laced throughout it all, Temple gives us glimpses into her own childhood tinkering, building, and inventing.
More than a blueprint for how to build things, in Calling All Minds Temple Grandin creates a blueprint for different ways to look at the world. And more than a call to action, she gives a call to imagination, and shows readers that there is truly no single way to approach any given problemâ??but that an open and inquisitive mind is always key.
Praise for Calling All Minds:
"An impassioned call to look at the world in unique ways with plenty of practical advice on how to cultivate a curious, inquiring, imaginative mind." â??Kirkus Reviews
*Includes a Bonus PDF with projects, patents, and photos and drawings form the author.… (mehr)

From Britannica.com: Author, Temple Grandin, "is an American scientist and industrial designer whose own experience with autism funded her professional work in creating systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations.

Grandin was unable to talk at age three and exhibited many behavioral problems; she was later diagnosed with autism. Her parents, rejecting a doctor’s advice to place her in an institution, instead sent their daughter to a series of private schools where her high IQ was nurtured. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree (1970) in psychology from Franklin Pierce College (now Franklin Pierce University) in New Hampshire, she earned a master’s degree (1975) and a doctorate (1989) in animal science from Arizona State University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, respectively. From 1990 she taught animal science at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where she also managed Grandin Livestock Systems."

Was excited to read this, but the first section, on the history of papermaking (an area I feel passionate about) was so inaccurate that I could not continue. This book has either been dumbed down for children (inappropriate) or is an example of incredibly poor research -- in either case, I am vastly disappointed. ( )

Though, a very basic concept of a science book, how to things work and why do things do what they do. Like how does a kite fly or a boat float, this is a basic book teachers should want and have in every classroom! This is the very way that students learn concepts and develop interests in topics. Allowing them to want to dive deeper and learn more, asking critical thinking questions and seeking out answers themselves. This a great book for all middle grade levels and could tie in with many lessons. ( )
