Consciousness: A User's Guide
by Adam Zeman
Hardcover, Glossary, Notes, Tables & Figures, Index, 404 pp.
A neuroscientist whose research extends to behavior, memory and awareness, Zeman makes a difficult subject readily understandable. First giving a ground plan of consciousness and a detailed look at the brain, he then focuses on two key areas of neuroscience which illuminate the basis of awareness: sleep and waking, and sight. Final chapters survey current theories of awareness and pioneering attempts to explain how the brain gives rise to consciousness.
