As once said by Ken Glickman , "Signs are to eyes what words are to ears ."

Minds and Signs written by Rebecca Rose Orton helps you understand about how your mind really works, how it tends to categorizes things in different ways, and also shows descriptions of various ways that the mind accomplishes this task.  Take for example how you think of a chair.  The chair has four legs, two arm rests, and a back rest. Then you think of variations that take it farther away from the prototype.

This book also tells you about the American Sign Language (ASL).  ASL is a complete and organized visual language that is expressed by facial expression as well as movements and motions with the hands.The author shows various signs in the sign language with illustrations so that you can understand them easily and communicate with people.

 

Opinion: 

The author has done an excellent job on this book.  I would give this book 4/5 stars and would recommend this book to the young minds of ages 10 – 14 years. The author is trying to give us the message that within the mind both words and images exist. People can think in words or images. Feelings, sounds, and other sensory information are often associated with words or images.

One thing I liked about the book is that how there are many illustrations and examples provided  so that we can understand the theory and signs easily.  Hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.
