Benjamin James offers a splendid little book complete with illustrations by line drawings that provide more information in a condensed manner about the activities of the human brain. It is an easy to read, well-organized, simple guide to understanding the brain's structure and functions. As he offers in his introduction, `The mind is perhaps the most complicated residing framework known in the galaxy. Although it has the same common framework as the minds of other animals, it is over three times as huge as the mind of a common mammal with a comparative bodily proportions, and much more complicated.'The chapters are short, illustrated and meaningful and are as follows: Neurons (A neuron is an electrical cell that transmits data by Electro-substance), The Mental Clock, Vision (Shade vision, Vitamin A Deficiency, Eye-Brain Connection, Blind spot), Sound, Smell/Taste, Sense, Adolescence Brain, Learning, Emotion, Decision, Memory, Is it a Boy or Girl?, Consciousness, Sleep & Dreams, Anxiety, Personality, and Love & Relationship.This book may be short but it provides a well-considered vantage of the functions of the brain that allow us to appreciate more the function of our head organ!
