Review of three pound enigma

-Via Developing Intelligence-
Seems like a decent review... someone should buy me a copy!
There may be an Amazon link over to the right... it's there sometimes ;)

"How does "the mind" emerge from the brain? We are closer to a coherent answer than ever before, thanks to accumulating evidence from a variety of fields - including cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology, internal medicine, somnology, and even modern philosophy. In "The Three Pound Enigma", Shannon Moffett explores the cutting-edge of these disciplines, literally: from a risky operation by neurosurgeon Roberta Glick, to penetrating theoretical discussions with the sharpest researchers around (including vision scientist Christof Koch and philosopher Daniel Dennett), this book provides a cross-section of current brain research."
