The breadth of Glynn's erudition is astonishing, as he ranges from parallel processing in computers to the specialization of different regions of the brain (illustrated with fascinating instances of the bizarre effects of localized brain damage). He explains the different types of memory, traces the path of information that leads to emotional responses, and engages in a discussion of language that ranges from Noam Chomsky to Hawaiian pidgin.\u003cbr\u003e No other single volume has captured the full expanse of our knowledge of consciousness and the brain. A work of unequaled authority and eloquence, this book promises to be a new landmark of scientific writing.\u003cbr\u003e \"Monumental.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Glynn's erudition is astonishing...a hugely enjoyable intellectual journey.\"--\u003cem\u003eNature\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIan Glynn\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor and Former Head of the Physiological Laboratory, University of Cambridge, England.
