Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sport known for its brash personalities, risk-takers, and speed demons, Matt Kenseth is something of an oddity. He is the perfect illustration of the truism that Slow and steady in the race. Known as a conservative driver who plays clean, drives patiently, and slowly but relentlessly moves to the front of the pack, Kenseth is routinely in the Top 15 race finishers and near the top of the NASCAR Cup series point totals, even though he wins few races outright. In fact, in 2003 he earned the Winston Cup Championship even though he won only one race that season. Though a quiet, steady, unassuming presence on and off the track, he has had his share of dust-ups with leading NASCAR drivers like Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, and Kevin Harvick. Quiet and conservative, but no push over, Kenseth prefers to prove his mettle on the track.

Book excerpt: 8 1/2 x 11. 250 b&w photosNASCAR is more popular in America than any racing series has ever been, and leading the way within the NASCAR ranks is the Ford Taurus.The Taurus is one of the best-selling cars in the U.S., but the street version bears little resemblance to the Taurus that races on Sundays.

Download or read book Top Brain Bottom Brain written by Stephen Michael Kosslyn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the world's leading neuroscientists teams up with an accomplished writer to debunk the popular left-brain/right-brain theory and offer an exciting new way of thinking about our minds. The second edition, with expanded practical applications, highlights how readers can harness the theory to succeed in their own lives. For the past fifty years, popular culture has led us to believe in the left-brain vs. right-brain theory of personality types. Right-brain people, we've been told, are artistic, intuitive, and thoughtful, while left-brain people tend to be more analytical, logical, and objective. It would be an illuminating theory if it did not have one major drawback: It is simply not supported by science. Dr. Stephen M. Kosslyn, who Steven Pinker calls "one of the world's great cognitive neuroscientists," explains with cowriter G. Wayne Miller an exciting new theory of the brain. Presenting extensive research in an inviting and accessible way, Kosslyn and Miller describe how the human brain uses patterns of thought that can be identified and understood through four modes of thinking: Mover, Perceiver, Stimulator, and Adaptor. These ways of thinking and behaving shape your personality, and with the scientifically developed test provided in the book, you'll quickly be able to determine which mode best defines your own usual style. Once you've identified your usual mode of thought, the practical applications are limitless, from how you work with others when you conduct business, to your personal relationships, to your voyage of self-discovery.
