Dedication (#ulink_6a5a06fe-0295-5dc1-8f8f-e37c75823c17)

The Power of Verbal Intelligence is dedicated to my dear Mum, Jean Buzan, who guided me to a love of words and to a deep understanding of their beauty and power; to ‘Master Mind Mapper’, and phenomenal friend, Vanda North, for her dedication to communicating the message of Mind Mapping; and to Dr Wilfred Funk, whose books on developing word power and his regular column in the Reader’s Digest inspired me to develop my own Verbal Intelligence.
