Synesthesia: A Union of the Senses - Second Edition
"Platek, Keenan, and Shackelford are leaders of the new generation of social and evolutionary neuroscientists. They have assembled a valuable collection of papers which integrate this blossoming field. Their book should be on the desk of any serious student of cognition and the brain who wants a thorough review of the empirical literature seen through a Darwinian lens."--Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, University of Cambridge"This new edition brings the reader interested in synaesthesia rapidly up to date with the scholarly and scientific debates in this field, and will stand as the new textbook on this unusual condition."--Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, University of Cambridge"In 1989, the first edition of Synesthesia rekindled discussion, which had died down somewhat since the 'synesthesia euphoria' of the 1920s. This new, revised edition explores the many theories that have emerged in the last ten years. No one who is seriously interested in synesthesia can afford to ignore this book."--Joerg Jewanski, Conservatory Muenster, GermanyPlease note: Let's try this once more!
