Temple is among the few people who have broken through many the neurological impairments associated with autism. Here, in Temple Grandin's own words, is the story what it is like to live with autism. Her unique empathy for animals has her to create systems which are humane and cruel free, setting the highest standards for the industry the treatment and handling of animals.
Temple Grandin is renowned throughout the world as a designer of livestock holding equipment. The captivating subject of Oliver Sack's Anthropologist on Mars, here is Temple Grandin's personal account of living with autism extraordinary gift of animal empathy has transformed her world and ours. It would be mere justice if Thinking in Pictures transforms the study of religious feeling, too. She has great insight into human-animal relations.
Grandin, who feels she can "see through a cow's eyes," is an influential designer of slaughterhouses and livestock restraint systems. 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 told Sacks, "I don't want my thoughts to die with me. Oliver Sacks calls Temple Grandin's first book-and the first picture of autism from the inside-"quite extraordinary, unprecedented and, in a way, unthinkable." Sacks told part of her story in his An Anthropologist on Mars, and in Thinking in Pictures Grandin returns to tell her life history with great depth, insight, and feeling.
