Sacks told part of her story in his <i>An Anthropologist on Mars</i>, and in <i>Thinking in Pictures</i> Grandin returns to tell her life history with great depth, insight, and feeling. Grandin told Sacks, "I don't want my thoughts to die with me. I want to have done something ... I want to know that my life has meaning ... I'm talking about things at the very core of my existence." Grandin's clear exposition of what it is like to "think in pictures" is immensely mind-broadening and basically destroys a whole school of philosophy (the one that declares language necessary for thought). Grandin, who feels she can "see through a cow's eyes," is an influential designer of slaughterhouses and livestock restraint systems. She has great insight into human-animal relations. It would be mere justice if <i>Thinking in Pictures</i> transforms the study of religious feeling, too. 1775856 1995 Thinking In Pictures: and Other Reports from My Life with Autism total:904|5:293|4:406|3:173|2:25|1:7| 904 3665 1574 150 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 4 2 false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 17:02:46 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 17:14:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 5 1 false Mon Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 08:56:16 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 20:54:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 4 0 false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 02 07:43:21 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 08:08:46 -0800 2008 more...]]> 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 5 0 false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 10:05:23 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 10:14:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 5 0 false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 18:47:28 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 20:28:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 4 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 08:36:16 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 08:44:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 103408 0679772898 9780679772897 811 137 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171496323m/103408.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103408.Thinking_In_Pictures_and_Other_Reports_from_My_Life_with_Autism 5 1 false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jul 11 11:48:27 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 11:53:32 -0700 2007
