The Kingdom of Infinite Space by Raymond Tallis
Explores the range of activities that go on inside our heads, most of which are entirely beyond our control. This book takes readers on a voyage through various chambers of the head and brain. It also demonstrates that not only does consciousness not reside between our ears, but that our heads are infinitely cleverer than we are.
'Tallis has a range of expertise that would leave Jonathan Miller gasping' Sunday Times 'Riveting' The Times 'Professor Tallis is a brilliant man' Sunday Telegraph 'This is a brilliant tract against the times' Frank Field, Spectator
