Book Description

0415271541 978-0415271547 April 5, 2002 First Edition
Have you ever wondered how the internal space of our brain connects with the external space of society? Drawing on hermeneutics and neuroscience Stephen Reyna develops an anthropological theory that explains the relationship between the biological and the cultural.
Recent popular interest in the brain is evident, and now social anthropologists are starting to consider connections between science and anthropology. Reyna is an anthropologist prepared to tackle big and difficult questions. This accessibly written book will cause quite a stir in anthropology, and will appeal to those interested in the mysteries of the brain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking, August 10, 2004
The book is about what the title says: connections, between personal memories and theory, between anthropology and neuroscience, between fieldwork and philosophy. There is a lot to chew on and to think about.
