  Hi Lori,

  I just want to add my agreement with Mayrie here. I would definitely not 
delete them if it is at all possible to retain them.

    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.
