Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
What Does An Amputee Who Still Feels A Phantom Limb Have In Common With An Avantgarde Artist, Or A Schizophrenic Who Claims To Be Controlled By Alien Implants, Or An Autistic Child Who Can Draw A Hyperrealistic Horse? According To Neuroscientist Ramachandran (Coauthor, Phantoms In The Brain), Named By Newsweek One Of The 100 People To Watch In The 21St Century, The Answer Lies Deep In The Physical Structures Of The Brain, And His New Book Offers A Thoughtprovoking Survey Of His Area Of Research. Through Examples, Anecdotes And Conjecture, Ramachandran Aims 'To Make Neuroscience... More Accessible To A Broad Audience.' In This He Succeeds Admirably, Explaining How The Roots Of Both Psychological Disorders And Aesthetic Accomplishment Can Be Located In The Various Regions Of The Brain And The Connections (Or Lack Thereof) Between Them. The Text Is Engaging And Readable, Feeling As Though Ramachandran Had Sat Down For An Afternoon To Explain His Research Over Tea (No Surprise, As The Book Grew Out Of The Authors 2003 Bbc Reith Lectures). Though The Topic Of Neuroscience Might Initially Seem Daunting, Readers Who Enjoy Science Popularization In The Vein Of Oliver Sacks, Richard Dawkins (Both Of Whom Enthusiastically Blurb This Book) And Stephen Jay Gould Will Find Much To Appreciate Here.
