After many months of waiting, revising, editing, and negotiating, the manuscript of the book Mindsponge Theory [1] is now on its way to the printing house for production.

Once again, two very important principles of AISDL in doing science are realized:

1. Saving resources – including time and finance [2]
2. Keeping the spirit of scientific exploration – ensuring transparency right from the start, including data about research limitations [3]

The cover illustration was done by artist Bui Quang Khiem – a friend of the book author who has been with AISDL for many years; the cover was designed by artist Hoang Vu Thang.



Figure: Cover illustration. This image is based on inspiration from Henri Matisse’s famous work The Snail (1953) [4].

AISDL is looking forward to seeing Mindsponge Theory’s appearance on global book retailer systems in the next few months.
