A Beginner's Guide to the Mind and Consciousness.
The human brain is the single most complex object in the known Universe. Not only can it make sophisticated responses to its surroundings, order and retrieve information and communicate with other individuals, but it is also aware of itself and capable of examining its own inner workings.
John McCrone explains what a human brain does - and what separates it from the brains of simpler organisms. He also examines, in fascinating detail, the intricate processing required to create a single moment of human consciousness.
'Essential Science' guides use a stimulating mix of lively illustrations and expert, jargon-free text to explain the most important scientific topics of the day - more clearly than ever before.
