Mapping the Mind by Rita Carter

Mapping the Mind by Rita Carter

Explores the geography of the human brain. This book charts the way human behavior and culture have been molded by the landscape of the brain. It shows how our personalities reflect the biological mechanisms underlying thought and emotion and how behavioral eccentricities may be traced to abnormalities in an individual brain.
