Fascinating! This book delves into current brain research, going between case studies and internal scans. The various topics seem only loosely connected until the end, when they are brought together in an examination of self. Highly recommended, this copy will be returned to the library but I will be purchasing soon.

I started this and fell behind events; my month+ of reading is in no way indicative of the content. This book is not over-simplified, but is still completely accessible. It contains an extensive bibliography and index, along with end-notes. Just before all of those are some excellent brain maps - I just wish they were inside the dust jacket for easier use.
