The Mind

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The Mind. This book is timely, for the 1980s are already being called the Age of Neurology. Psychosurgery, modern drugs, memory, malformation, outstanding ability - they are being investigated as never before, and this book outlines these advances. The author is well-known for taking a sideways look at his subjects and this book follows suit. Not only are there the expected chapters on anatomy, physiology, damage and development, but others on history, on genius and prodigy, on the older brain and brain death, on alcohol, war wounds, computers, headache, phantom limbs and future plans. There are still so many unknown. There are not hints as yet, in autopsy or biopsy, whether a brain is clever or not. There is no notion how mind arose (or to what extent animals have minds). There is no knowledge how speech began, or why our mental developments is so slow. The greatest field for bilogocial research is the human brain, but we only have our brains with which to puzzle out its ways. 346 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
