Industry reviews
Gr 7 Up A comprehensive, interesting, and informative overview of brain structure and function. The history of research is introduced through the story of Phineas Gage, a construction worker who suffered an injury that allowed scientists to study how personality is controlled by the frontal region of the brain. Further such cases are offered, quickly capturing readers' interest. Information on brain composition, development, and function follows, supplemented by chapters on senses, learning, memory, sleep, dexterity, and right-brain/left-brain theory. A section on dysfunction and disease and ``The Future of the Brain,'' which describes how it might be manipulated genetically or through drugs, gives some insight into current research. The book appears intimidating at first, but the tone is conversational, sometimes to a fault; it almost reads as though a teacher were giving a lecture on the subject, as it is sprinkled with asides and observations. Technical terms are defined in context and in the extensive glossary. Several average-quality, black-and-white diagrams and photographs are scattered throughout. This is far more comprehensive than Ron Schultz's Looking Inside the Brain (John Muir, 1992) and updates the Silversteins' World of the Brain (Morrow, 1986). Denise L.
