This is an analysis of the way in which science is reshaping the age-old question of "nature" versus "nurture". Recent discoveries in biology, brain science and cognitive science have led to a new view of human behaviour; a view in which natural selection affects everything from clinical depression to the development of language. Gazzaniga, a neuroscientist, assesses the findings and looks at the implications of the radical new "selection theory" which links thinking, emotions, sexuality, language and intelligence.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The co-discoverer of the split brain” theory tells how science is recasting the age-old question of nature versus nurture to create a startling new view of human behavior. Recent discoveries suggest that natural selection affects not only physical characteristics but also mental processes, from learning to substance abuse.

Paperback. Etat : Good. There was a time when the brain was thought of as little more than an exceptionally complicated lump of grey matter that somehow produced thoughts, feelings and the occasional embarrassing memory five minutes after you actually needed it. Then along came neuroscientists like Michael S. Gazzaniga, who politely informed us that the situation was considerably stranger than anyone had imagined. In Nature?s Mind , Gazzaniga takes readers on a wonderfully thought-provoking tour through the biological foundations of what makes us human. Thinking, emotions, language, intelligence, sexuality, consciousness and behaviour are all placed under the neuroscientific microscope, revealing that many of the things we like to believe are entirely rational are, in fact, the product of billions of neurons conducting a staggeringly complex conversation behind the scenes. This is not one of those books that drowns readers beneath anatomical terminology until every page resembles a medical school exam. Gazzaniga has the enviable ability to explain cutting-edge neuroscience in language that remains engaging, accessible and occasionally astonishing. Whether discussing split-brain patients, the evolution of cognition or the remarkable specialisation of different regions of the brain, he never loses sight of the fact that the greatest mystery of all is how three pounds of biological tissue manages to produce Shakespeare, quantum physics, jazz, political arguments and the irresistible urge to check whether you?ve remembered to lock the front door. Naturally, there is a generous helping of irony running throughout the subject. The very organ attempting to understand itself is also the one prone to optical illusions, false memories, irrational fears, overconfidence and confidently insisting it knows where it left the car keys. Few scientific disciplines are quite so delightfully self-referential. Every conclusion about the brain has, inconveniently, been reached by another brain, which rather raises the stakes if everyone?s neurons happen to be having an off day. Published in 1992, Nature?s Mind captures a fascinating period in neuroscience, when advances in brain imaging and cognitive science were rapidly transforming our understanding of human behaviour. While the field has continued to evolve, many of the questions explored here remain as compelling today as they were when the book first appeared. Indeed, Gazzaniga would go on to become one of the most influential figures in modern cognitive neuroscience, helping to shape how we think about consciousness, free will and the architecture of the mind itself. This Penguin Books paperback is in Good condition, showing only the kind of light, respectable wear expected from a book that has probably spent its life being thoughtfully read rather than merely decorating the psychology shelf. Clean, sound and entirely ready to persuade another curious reader that the most extraordinary object they?ll ever encounter is the one they?re using to read this sentence. Perfect for readers of psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology and philosophy of mind, or anyone who has ever paused to wonder how a collection of electrically active cells can fall in love, invent mathematics, write symphonies, dream of flying, argue on the internet and occasionally walk into a room only to forget why they went there. As Gazzaniga gently reminds us, the brain is not simply nature?s greatest achievement?it?s also the only machine sophisticated enough to spend centuries trying to work out how it works. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N� de r�f. du vendeur 6752
