The Brain: A User's Manual : A simple guide to the world's most complex machine

Packed with facts, The Brain: A User's Manual arms its reader with all the information that they could ever want to know on the subject. From the total distance of all the fibres in your brain (150,000 km), to the number of generations over which the brain has existed in its present form (3125), this book will definitely appeal to those who love trivia. Helpful and memorable analogies that tactfully deepen the reader's understanding of a subject that is famously dense. Few topics could be more universally relevant and interesting than the brain, yet heretofore few writers have successfully described it to a mass audience.
