New Directions in Consciousness Studies describes a range of fresh
ideas which promise to significantly advance scientific
understanding of human nature. Written in non-specialized language,
the book draws upon concepts and research from history, philosophy,
neuroscience and physics to delineate new approaches to the study
of consciousness. Early chapters deal with a range of ideas about
our nature, and suggest that mind can usefully be viewed as a type
of dynamic landscape. The account shows how our minds relate to
their societies, brains and bodies and how they differ from
computers. Later chapters develop a theory of the basis of
consciousness (SoS theory). Using the physical concept of 'broken
symmetry' the author shows how conscious mind may be rooted in
temporality; a view that is supported by the occurrence of a wide
range of anomalous phenomena. Potentially valuable future lines of
research are identified. This is a unique and engaging book that
will appeal to students and academics in the field of consciousness
studies and other readers with an interest in consciousness.

Here is an account of mentality and human experience, written for a
multi-disciplinary readership. The focus is on how mind,
consciousness and selves inter-relate, extending into exploration
of ideas about the nature of awareness and a search for relevant
evidence.
