Hardback. Condición: Fair. What's inside your head anyway, and how does it work? Let's take a look. First, we need to crack open the brain box - the skull. Then, layer by layer, we look at all the parts of the brain to discover what each one controls. Zooming down to the microscopic level, we zero in on neurons, the keys to everything we do. Studying the brain has a long history - and some of it is gruesome. From the Egyptians, who scooped brain bits out through the noses of corpses, to Phineas Gage, who had a spike shot through his brain and lived, our knowledge of the brain has changed enormously over the centuries.

So, come on in and investigate the most powerful and complex organ in your body, with the help of this brilliantly illustrated and informative book.…
