Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Two neuroscientists reveal why consciousness exists and how it works by examining eighteen increasingly intelligent minds, from microbes to humankindand beyond.Why do you exist? How did atoms and molecules transform into sentient creatures that experience longing, regret, compassion, and even marvel at their own existence? What does it truly mean to have a mindto think? Science has offered few answers to these existential questions until now.Journey of the Mind is the first book to offer a unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, selfawareness, and civilization arose incrementally out of chaos. The journey begins three billion years ago with the emergence of the universe? simplest possible mind. From there, the book explores the nanoscopic archaeon, whose thinking machinery consists of a handful of molecules, then advances through amoebas, worms, frogs, birds, monkeys, and humans, explaining what each ?ew?mind could do that previous minds could not. Though they admire the triumph of human consciousness, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam argue that humans are hardly the most sophisticated minds on the planet. The same physical principles that produce human selfawareness are leading cities and nationstates to develop ?uperminds,?and perhaps planting the seeds for even higher forms of consciousness.Written in lively, accessible language accompanied by vivid illustrations, Journey of the Mind is a mindbending work of popular science, the first general book to share the cuttingedge mathematical basis for consciousness, language, and the self. It shows how a ?nified theory of the mind?can explain the mind? greatest mysteriesand offer clues about the ultimate fate of all minds in the universe.
