We live a miracle everyday, a world of coloured reflections in a
river, scents of flowers, birdsong, a warm breeze. Buried below our
living experience, science has discovered a world of atoms and
vibrations, a world of blind elementary forces. These forces
operate everywhere in the known universe, including the chemistry
of our bodies. Most poignantly they operate in our brains. How does
the miracle of our conscious life emerge from this dry world of
atomic forces? Should we expect science to give a satisfactory
answer to this question? Practical developments such as genetic
engineering and brain imaging have brought a contemporary vitality
to these questions. The book explores the linked hierarchy of
science, from physics to brain structure. Within this journey,
progressively deeper questions are asked about the nature and
limits of scientific explanation. Diagrams and photographs are used
to assist the text. Many of the diagrams are novel and illustrate
ideas in a compact way.
