´Highly accessible, content-rich and eminently readable . . . Fascinating and informative . . . popular science at its best.´ - The Observer
´Subtly radical . . . It presents a revelatory model of consciousness that will be completely new to most readers´ - The Guardian ´Best Reads For Summer´
Have you ever wondered why you have a brain? Let renowned neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett demystify that big grey blob between your ears . . .
In seven short chapters (plus a brief history of how brains evolved), this slim, entertaining, and accessible book reveals mind-expanding lessons from the front lines of neuroscience research. You´ll learn where brains came from, how they´re structured (and why it matters), and how yours works in tandem with other brains to create everything you experience. Along the way, you´ll also learn to dismiss popular myths such as the idea of a ´lizard brain´ and the alleged battle between thoughts and emotions, or even between nature and nurture, to determine your behaviour.
Sure to intrigue casual readers and scientific veterans alike, Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain is full of surprises, humour, and important implications for human nature - a gift of a book about our most complex and crucial organ.
