A highly entertaining tour through the wonders and mysteries of the human brain—from a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists
Professors Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year career. Here they tell the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration, and empathy.
Working with their son Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, the Friths delve into complex concepts and explain them with humor and clarity. You’ll learn what it means to be a "social species"; explore what happens when we gather in groups; and discover how people behave in pairs—when we’re pitted against each other versus when we work together. Is it better to surround yourself with people similar to yourself or different? And are two heads really better than one?
Highly original and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads provides an expansive understanding of how our brains work (and how they work together) and is an irresistible visual delight.
