About this title

Synopsis

A fresh look at the nature of the mind, consciousness and personal identity. Exactly how does the biological tissue that is inside our head allow us to experience love, remember childhood experiences and make us laugh out loud? This handy guide traces the historical development of ideas about the brain and its function and also looks at planning and action, memory, attention, emotions and vision.
