Rezensionen

It's no wonder reading David Eagleman's new book, The Brain, made me a little bit giddy. Eagleman tosses about ideas that had my grey matter pushed and pummelled, stimulated and stretched

Mind-blowing revelations abound

The posterboy of neuroscience with ideas that will stretch your mind

On every page of The Brain there is a revelation so fantastic as to make one gasp. It would be impossible to take in if we didn't all possess that impossibly extraordinary thing, a brain. Eagleman comes closer than anyone to solving the mystery of how to find the self inside the grey electric mush between our ears

The hottest thing in neuroscience

Clear, engaging and thought-provoking

Entertaining and profound: page-turning neuroscience from a bit of a genius

The rock star of neuroscience

David Eagleman makes it easy to comprehend the most complex collection of cells in the cosmos - our brain. If neuroscience had a rock legend this would be him

David Eagleman's wide-ranging roundup of the current state of knowledge about the brain is concise, accessible and often very surprising. It's a strange new world inside your head

David Eagleman is a brilliant neuroscientist, a bestselling author and a man of enormous discernment
