	Book of the Mind: Key Writings on the Mind from Plato and the Buddha through Shakespeare, Descartes, and Freud to the Latest Discoveries of Neuroscience
	By: Stephen Wilson ISBN: 158234258X Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Release Date: 10 June, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 970484	Collected together here is an impressive set of writings on the mind, from the earliest accounts to the most cutting edge consciousness research. The writings include fiction, letters, case notes and formal studies. <br /> <br />The editor illuminates the contributions through introductions to each of the six sections, i.e. Perception, Memory, Emotion, Thought, Consciousness and Self, plus commentaries that contextualise each individual piece. <br /> <br />The list of contributors include Alfred Adler, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Francis Bacon, William Blake, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sigmund Freud, Gautama Buddha, Daniel Goleman, Aldous Huxley, William James, Carl Jung, Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf. <br /> <br />The book is revealing to say the least, as it encompasses some of humanity's most significant attempts to understand the mind and how it works. Some passages are also very inspiring and the editor has done a splendid job of tying these writings together over space and time. <br />

	The New Cognitive Neurosciences: Second Edition
	By: Michael S. Gazzaniga ISBN: 0262071959 Publisher: The MIT Press Release Date: 26 November, 1999 Bioscience book rank: 201614	I am a neurologist. This is the single best book I have read for providing the physiological and anatomical basis for human cognitive behavior. Each chapter is written by an outstanding neuroscientist. I checked this book out from our library to see if it would meet my needs as an in-depth introduction and more to the neurosciences. I have a number of MIT press/Bradford books and expected quite a bit from this one. I was impressed with the breadth and range of topics and the quality of scholarship, but the incredible number of typos, particularly in the second section, left me steamed. Those poor authors who had the spelling of their names butchered in print have my sympathy. These typos include some in the diagrams, which lead to confusion. I expect a better quality of editing from a large professional university press. I bought Principles of Neuroscience (Kandel) instead. My advice would be to check out a copy of the Gazzaniga from your library and go over it to see if it is acceptable to you before you spend [...] on it. I think I can claim to be probably the only clinical neurologist who has read both this book and its first edition cover to cover, which really reflects the fascination of the articles more than incredible compulsivity on my part. The book is divided into 11 sections--development, plasticity, sensory systems, motor systems, attention, memory, language, higher cognitive functions, emotion, evolution, and consciousness, with anywhere from 8-15 articles in each section (total 94 chapters!), averaging around 15 pages each, and a helpful introduction written by an expert for the sections. There are also a large number of color illustrations. For the most part, the articles are very clearly written reviews, and would be appropriate for the upper undergraduate or graduate level student. The emphasis is obviously more on neuroscience than on clinical medicine, though helpful correlates to neurological patients can be found in many chapters. Michael Gazzaniga has once again done a masterful job in assembling contributors, and it is wonderful to see how much the field has advanced since the first edition of this book was published in 1995. For anyone with more than a casual interest in the field, this book is a MUST HAVE!!
