The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchrist
A landmark new book. . . . It tells a story you need to hear, of where we live now.-Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times
A very remarkable book. . . . McGilchrist, who is both an experienced psychiatrist and a shrewd philosopher, looks at the relation between our two brain-hemispheres in a new light, not just as an interesting neurological problem but as a crucial shaping factor in our culture . . . splendidly thought-provoking. . . . I couldn't put it down.-Mary Midgley, The Guardian
Named one of the best books of 2010 by The Guardian
