Hi, Everyone,

I plan to submit a book called "Change your brain, Change your Life" by Daniel 
Amen.

The book is very readable and contains a number of interesting case studies.

I have a question about how to treat the pictures in the book.

In each case study, the author includes a series of pictures of brain scans 
which contain headings such as the following:

Sally's SPECT Studies

 

horizontal view at rest

 

Note goodprefrontal activity (arrows).

 

horizontal view during concentration

 

Note marked decreased activity, especially in the prefrontal cortex.

 

Should I leave these headings as they are or delete them.  Scans such as these 
occur on every tenth page or so, and he covers the results of the scan in his 
narrative.



Since the information heading the scans is not really helpful, I am tempted to 
omit them, but if someone were to discuss this book with a person who was 
looking at the scans, nowing they are there might be useful.



I would appreciate any thoughts on this.



Also, for the first time, yesterday I downloaded a newspaper from Bookshare to 
read on my bookport.  In the past, I have looked up articles on a paper's 
website or listened to brief sections on the NFB newsline, but I have never 
before in my whole sixty years had a complete paper at hand to peruse.  It was 
a new experience, and when I told my sister about it I got tears in my eyes.
