The Rough Guide to the Brain (Rough Guides Reference Titles)

"I really agree with the previous reviewer. This is simply an excellent book. Fascinating beyond belief and accessible to the layperson like me. I hope this writer continues to write this brilliant science non-fiction.

"This great book brings the brain to life in the same way that other Rough Guides make countries irresistible holiday locations. The guide takes you on a tour within your own skull, stopping off at destinations including your emotions, memory, IQ and mental illness. I really like the way that facts are brought to life with real world examples and the text is full of interesting and current links that make it all feel relevant and easy to absorb. Whether you're a student wanting a crash course, or someone wanting to know more about a brain condition or, like me, simply want to understand more about how your mind works, I'd recommend this guide. Even though it's packed with information it certainly doesn't feel like an academic tome. Like all Rough Guides, this book makes it as easy to navigate your brain as if you were looking for the best bar in town. Simply choose a destination and dive in!"
