Reviews / Votes

Ramachandran is a latter-day Marco Polo * RICHARD DAWKINS * A masterpiece. The best of its kind and beautifully crafted. Alluring storytelling, building to a penetrating understanding of what it is to be uniquely human. Ramachandran is the foremost pioneer-the Galileo-of neurocognition. Mysteries of the mind, like our love of art, are revealed through his ingenious, deceptively simple experiments. Here is the fruit of a long, daring career, peppered with breakthroughs and unforgettable insights. * Allan Snyder, Director, Centre for the Mind * "No one is better than V. S. Ramachandran at combining minute, careful observation with ingenious experiments and bold, adventurous theorizing. THE TELL-TALE BRAIN is Ramachandran at his best, a profoundly intriguing and compelling guide to the intricacies of the human brain." * Oliver Sacks * Ramachandran is the modern wizard of neuroscience. In THE TELL-TALE BRAIN, we see the genius at work * Norman Doidge, MD, author of The Brain That Changes Itself * Ramachandran has written an astonishing book. His humanity, humour and scientific genius inform every passage. The Tell-Tale Brain is a veritable Voyage of the Beagle through the terrain of brain science and psychology. * Nicholas Humphrey, author of Seeing Red *
