别说你懂思维导图
By 赵国庆著思维导图作为一种支持学习和工作的高效工具，从问世以来就风靡全球。但不少人对思维导图的认识往往停留在浅表层次，因而对其产生了一些误解，其作用也往往被夸大，这都导致思维导图未能发挥其真正的价值。本书认为，思维导图的重点不在“图”，而在“思维”，或者说是“图导思维”。思维导图的核心价值是激发思维和整理思维，核心特征是非线性和可视化。本书详细讲解了思维导图的理论、操作和应用，并就思维导图爱好者广泛关注的话题展开了深入的分析和讨论。本书适合所有对思维导图、思维可视化以及思维训练感兴趣的人。不仅可以作为各级各类教师特别是中小学教师的专业发展读物，也可以作为高校本科或研究生的思维教育通识课教材，还可以作为企事业员工、学生家长自学思维导图的枕边书。
