Though Edelman and Tononi do make a good effort to help out the lay reader, ultimately Consciousness is aimed at the interdisciplinary gang of scientists and academics trying to understand our shared but invisible experience. The first sections of the book cover the basic philosophical, psychological, and biological elements essential to their theory. Swiftly the authors proceed to define terms and concepts (even the long-abused term "complexity" gets a reappraisal) and elaborate these to create a robust, testable theory of the neural basis of consciousness. Following this hard work, they consider some ramifications of the theory and take a close look at language and thinking. This much-needed jumpstart is sure to provoke a flurry of experimental and theoretical response;Consciousness might just help us answer some of the greatest questions of science, philosophy, and even poetry. --Rob Lightner
