This revised/updated fourth edition includes:

a new introduction;
crucial updates based on recent research on the brain's plasticity and the enormous value of learning new skills/ utilizing the right hemisphere of the brain;
new focus on how the ability to draw on the strengths of the right hemisphere can serve as an antidote to the increasing left-brain emphasis in American life-the worship of all that is linear, analytic, digital, etc.;
an informative section that addresses recent research linking early childhood "scribbling" to later language development and the importance of parental encouragement of this activity;
and new reproductions of master drawings throughout
