How We Work - Hardcover
Explaining the body and mind using numerous full-colour graphics to clarify the subjects, the book: includes the latest ideas and discoveries about the human body and brain; employs numerous comparisons with everyday life and the animal world to help explain how the mind works; shows with case histories what happens when aspects of the body and mind malfunction; gives many everyday examples to match theory with reality; and uses a cross-referencing system to make connections between related areas. The book attempts to make sense of the intricate workings of the body and mind by focusing not on what the body and mind are, but what they actually do. Illustrations and text, which employ comparisons and analogies from everyday life, help explain the many functions of the human body and mind. The first section, "How Your Body Works", describes the body's systems down to the smallest detail, and investigates how they interconnect and function. Every aspect of the mind is explored in "How Your Mind Works", with an explanation of the theory and structure, as well as communication processes and human consciousness in jargon-free language. Susan Greenfield is the author of "Journeys to the Centre of the Mind" and "Concepts in Cellular Neuroscience".
