The Guardian, 4 June 1992
Exceptionally readable, and packed with fascinating psychological information and ingenious speculation.
Daily Telegraph, 26 July 1992
Humphrey is one of that growing band of scientists who beat lierary folk at their own game.
The Observer, 8 August 1993
No other theoretical psychologist is so accessibly clear, and at the same time so provocatively philosophical.
The Sydney Morning Herald
Humphrey's distinctive prose is the golden bowl in which his ripe and shining theories are held.
Product Description
The mind-body problem is widely seen as the great remaining challenge to science and philosophy. Why and how did matter evolve to take on the quality of mind? The author takes the reader to the edges of current knowledge and back to the beginning of time, before "mind" existed, and in doing so constructs a history of consciousness. Nicholas Humphrey's previous books include "Four Minutes to Midnight", "Consciousness Regained" and "The Inner Eye".
