There are more than 100 billion brain cells in our heads, and every
single one represents a fragment of thought and feeling. And yet
each cell is a mystery of beauty, with branching, intricate
patterns like shattered glass. Richard Wingate has been
scrutinizing them for decades, yet he is still moved when he looks
at one through a microscope and traces their shape by hand. With
absorbing lyricism and clarity, Wingate shows how each type of cell
possesses its own personality and history, illustrating a milestone
of scientific discovery and exploring the stories of pioneering
scientists like Ramon y Cajal and Francis Crick, and capturing
their own fascinating shapes and patterns. Discover the ethereal
world of the brain with this elegant little book - and find out how
we all think and feel.
