Description: Within our skulls resides an organ more powerful than the fastest supercomputer, the ultimate multi-tasker controlling everything from the retrieval of memories to complex reasoning - and even breathing. "The Rough Guide to the Brain" provides an absorbing and accessible introduction to the science of the mind - from how the human brain evolved over millions of years and how it differs from those of other animals to the power of positive thinking and extrasensory perception hypnosis.
