I am truly amazed at this book。 In today's world folks are encouraged to "do puzzles" - word puzzles of every ilk， mazes， etc。 It is said to be a key to maintaining brain function and deter the effects that aging has on the brain。 Those with early onset dementia of various types are encouraged to work word puzzles and there is certainly a plethora of such books and usually quite low priced。 They are basically unappealing， unattractive， and frankly unworthy of being called an instrument to prote I am truly amazed at this book。 In today's world folks are encouraged to "do puzzles" - word puzzles of every ilk， mazes， etc。 It is said to be a key to maintaining brain function and deter the effects that aging has on the brain。 Those with early onset dementia of various types are encouraged to work word puzzles and there is certainly a plethora of such books and usually quite low priced。 They are basically unappealing， unattractive， and frankly unworthy of being called an instrument to protect the use of one's brain。National Geographic as with all their other publications has created a wonderful book of assorted puzzles。 But what is so very impressive is the amount of background information that explains how the mind actually works when you are executing these varied puzzles。The section on Senses takes the reader through a variety of visual encounters that are puzzling but simply what we once called perceptual illusions。 The eyes and your mind function in mysterious ways。Then the famous Word Search puzzles come into play as the author explains that language is a human trait and that it is also regional to where we are located in the world。 Interesting， too， is that language is processed in the dominant part of your brain。 If you're right handed， that means your language is processed in the left side of your brain。I am amazed at the Memory Puzzles （or exercises） and found them somewhat difficult。 （Hmmm。。。 what is this telling me？） This book takes using your brain to a new level from basic crossword puzzles and basic word searches。 I am going to have to work a bit to make sure my brain is working as well as possible。I highly recommend for ages （maybe） 8 to adult。 Adults。。。。。。 you're going to be challenged and will learn a bit more about your brain that you need to protect as you age。DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review。 Opinions are mine， alone and are freely given。 。。。more

Have you ever wondered where the term， "well-rounded" came from？ I have。 I mean， I don't think anyone aspires to be round。 But well-rounded？ What does that even mean？ National Geographic Kids "Brain Games" explains that back in the Victorian Era， a practice called phrenology was very popular。 Phrenologists would measure and examine peoples' heads and then explain what their bumps， crevasses， and measurements meant。 Well-rounded skulls supposedly only belonged to those who were strong and confide Have you ever wondered where the term， "well-rounded" came from？ I have。 I mean， I don't think anyone aspires to be round。 But well-rounded？ What does that even mean？ National Geographic Kids "Brain Games" explains that back in the Victorian Era， a practice called phrenology was very popular。 Phrenologists would measure and examine peoples' heads and then explain what their bumps， crevasses， and measurements meant。 Well-rounded skulls supposedly only belonged to those who were strong and confident。。。Read my full review here: http://agoodreid。blogspot。com/2019/09。。。 。。。more

Warning: This book will melt your brain！With puzzles， codes， optical illusions， and games， each chapter focuses on one aspect of how our brains process information， including spatial awareness， how our hearing affects our visual perception， and how our memory works （or doesn't work）。 I especially liked the chapter on Words and Language， which explores how our brains process language and reading。 There are tons of word games with anagrams， alphabet codes， palindromes， crossword puzzles， and word Warning: This book will melt your brain！With puzzles， codes， optical illusions， and games， each chapter focuses on one aspect of how our brains process information， including spatial awareness， how our hearing affects our visual perception， and how our memory works （or doesn't work）。 I especially liked the chapter on Words and Language， which explores how our brains process language and reading。 There are tons of word games with anagrams， alphabet codes， palindromes， crossword puzzles， and word search games。Each chapter starts with an explanation of how the brain functions in particular areas， how the brain is mapped， and what scientists and physicians are discovering about the power of the mind。 Then challenges and puzzles are introduced to show how your brain is fooling you， or how your brain is stronger and smarter than you realize。The chapter on Memory was especially interesting as the reader can challenge themselves to memorize a set of information and then use tricks like mnemonic devices to remember it more easily。This book is perfect for kids who are creative， or kids who are bored and want some interesting activities to keep those brains busy。 I would also recommend it to adults who want to keep their minds sharp。 Your eyeballs will fool you， your brain will be nimble from cracking the codes， and your friends will be laughing at the weird games and experiments。Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Media Masters Publicity in exchange for a free and honest review。 All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts， and are not influenced by anyone。 。。。more
