Weighing a mere three pounds, the human brain is truly a wonder of design and function. "Mysteries of the Mind" explores all aspects of this most fascinating organ -- its structure and how it works, the effects of genetics and experience, the biology behind emotion and memory, as well as what happens when things go wrong. Continuing a "National Geographic" tradition for illustrating and clearly explaining the life sciences, "Mysteries of the Mind" was written by Richard Restak, M.D., a best-selling author and a national authority on the brain.

Great now I think I'm crazy,
By cooperandre (Fullerton, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mysteries of the Mind (Hardcover)
Very informative book, the author does a great job of keeping your interest in the book. Some books can read like a textbook, but this one covers all aspects of human understanding of how our brain works. This book presents early exploration into the brain and its functions, to current day discoveries and treatments for mental disorders. I am very interested in the subject of treatments or torture for mental disorders of the past, and the author wrote about how some early doctors treated cases of depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. I couldn't help but think of some people I know while I was reading this book, I even think I have a few disorders now, HA, HA, HA, Over all this book is very informative, but if you are looking for depth in one area or topic you may not like this, as it covers a range of topics in about 260 pages.
