Shadows Of The Mind by Roger Penrose

A visionary description of what a new physics - one that is adequate to account for our extraordinary brain - might look like.Clearly the product of a brilliant mind * Times Literary Supplement *
His book may be the first accessible report to a general readership about the site, if not the actual substance, of the holy grail of consciousness - the precise point where quantum activity interacts with classical physical activity in the brain.. His passionate attempt at popular exposition lends importance to a debate that he believes too crucial to be left to the specialists alone * Sunday Times *
