“You
will give the right hemisphere of your brain a workout
by trying to identify the proper function of these 80 household
implements from their photographs. They were all in common
use in the “good old days” before packaging design hid
the inner workings with sheet metal and it became impossible
to figure out what something was just by looking at it.
Objects you have never seen before challenge your right
brain more than familiar ones. The left brain specializes
in comparing new experiences with past ones and trying
to apply rules such as grammar and conventional symbols.
The right brain excels at processing images you’ve never
seen before — the face of someone you don’t know, or,
for a child, his or her first encounter with a swinging
door.
No matter how you use this book, we hope you, your brain
and your brain’s friends have a good time with it.”
