Format:Paperback
This great book brings the brain to life in the same way that other Rough Guides make countries irresistible holiday locations. The guide takes you on a tour within your own skull, stopping off at destinations including your emotions, memory, IQ and mental illness. I really like the way that facts are brought to life with real world examples and the text is full of interesting and current links that make it all feel relevant and easy to absorb. Whether you're a student wanting a crash course, or someone wanting to know more about a brain condition or, like me, simply want to understand more about how your mind works, I'd recommend this guide. Even though it's packed with information it certainly doesn't feel like an academic tome. Like all Rough Guides, this book makes it as easy to navigate your brain as if you were looking for the best bar in town. Simply choose a destination and dive in!

I really agree with the previous reviewer. This is simply an excellent book. Fascinating beyond belief and accessible to the layperson like me. I hope this writer continues to write this brilliant science non-fiction.

Good as an introduction to neurology
I thought this book was good as an introduction to neuroscience as it's not too heavy-going. Definitely the type of book one could read on the train. Read more

A dip into the human brain.
An easy and fascinating read. Research is developing so quickly that it may well have parts that are already out of date but it is a good lead-in to more detailed, scientific... Read more

Better than "rough" :D
Very well organized, very up to date (refers to some research results from up to 2005) and hard to put down. It read as a good journey, adventure book with many "aha!" and "whoa! Read more

Simple and to the point.
This is a very simple pop overview of the brain and it's function. It offers snippets of discourse on various subjects and is very well written. Read more

Good reference
Easy to read, basic and understandable, the layout was clear and it covers a lot of ground for being a book you can throw in you bag and read on the bus.
Thumbs up!
