Consciousness by Adam Zeman
In this thought-provoking title, neurologist Adam Zeman offers an enlightening view of consciousness seen through the lenses of science and philosophy, enhancing his discussion with case studies of neurological patients and observations of young children's expanding mental worlds.
"Zeman is a humane and engaging writer and this is a wonderfully ambitious and entertaining bookI can think of no better guide to 'the last great frontier of science.'"—Paul Broks, Prospect
"[This] book is more than an argument about computers and consciousness. There are . . . potentially mind-numbing discussions of the pathways that give rise to the senses and to cognition, accompanied by diagrams of the same. . . . Zeman manages to make all of this stuff . . . interesting."—Ivan Oransky, New York Sun
