"The Biology of Mind" is an engaging, multi-disciplinary tour of
some of the most exciting areas in comtemporary brain and cognitive
science. Appropriate for a wide range of students and general
readers, this text considers the evolution of mind and the
transition from primate to early hominid to modern intelligence. It
also surveys contemporary studies of brain structure and mechanisms
that underlie perception, emotions, language, memory, and learning.
this new book provides an essential guide to understanding the
origins of the human brain and the mysteries of mind and
consciousness.
From the pre-publication reviews:
"This book is an unusual blend of material on the biology of mind:
not just neuroscience, or just evolution or just philosophy of
mind, etc., but rather a balanced mix, a relatively quick and easy
way to become oriented...this is just the kind of initial entry
point someone outside the field will find useful. I know of nothing
that is like this." --Stephen M. Kosslyn Professor of Psychology,
Harvard University
"This is a broad-ranging and quite successful attempt to provide
a coherent and sprightly view of mind and consciousness. The text
is an entertaining as well as information-packed introduction to
the 'inner world, ' energizing the enormous appeal the study of the
mind/brain has for so many--those who simply want to know
themselves (the goal that made psychology for many years the
largest undergraduate major), as well as the prospective basic
neuroscientist." --George Adelman Editor, "Encyclopedia of
Neuroscience"
