In the final decade of the 20th century science was seldom an entirely solo undertaking. So it is with the writing of a book on as broad a subject as the brain. Authors need the counsel of other knowledgeable people to help keep the facts accurate and the concepts in reasonable perspective. In that sense, the authors of this volume are indebted to the many men and women engaged in the studies of the brain and the human mind and to others active in a broad range of additional fields, because the brain, after all, influences everything in the body and is influenced by everything. This field is so vast that many whose ideas and findings were valuable to this book remain unnamed.
The book is broken into 16 chapters, covering anatomy, sex, language, hormones, stress, nature vs nurture, infectious dementia, alzheimer's disease, growing old, changing our minds and suggestions for other reading.
