What is Word Power : an Illustrated Dictionary of Vital Words about?

‘Wordpower is to the mind what horsepower is to the car.’ This is a book of 265 special words. Most are in part familiar, some, because of their usefulness, are borrowed from scientific, business and technical fields. All are powerful tools of expression if used precisely. Dr. de Bono defines these concepts in terms of their usage and with the aid of appropriate cartoons and illustrations they become more easily part of the reader's living vocabulary.‘The difference between an educated and an uneducated person is not usually a matter of intelligence or even of knowledge. It is simply that the educated person has the words with which to tap a bigger stock of ideas.’ This book is not only a useful and vital extension of any education; it is essentially dynamic, for Edward de Bono, provocative and pithy as ever, jolts the brain and gets it thinking.
