 - An excellent guide to the brainThis is an excellent guide to the brain and how it works. The focus on movement and its role in the brain, as well as neuro-chemistry provides fascinating insights into how the brain works and even how such disorders as ADHD are caused by neurological deficits. The book is written in easy to understand language, but also with an appreciation of the potential reader. I definitely recommend it as a good introduction to neuro-science and the mysteries of the human body. Rating: - AimeeThis book is EXCELLENT! I love it! It's a great explanation of how the brain develops and how it processes information after development. I would recommend that any woman who is pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant read the first chapter at the very least. I knew that certain food, etc., were not good during pregnancy but this really clarifies by telling you why and explaining what would possibly happen. In addition, it's just absolutely fascinating. Thanks, Dr. Ratey! Rating:  - too verbosethe introduction alone was enough to make me return this book. this author writes extremely long winded setences and does not make good use of his commas. the sentences are so verbose that the i found myself reading them mutliply times and placing my own commas and periods where necessary. reading this book reminded me of the days i had to read my biochemistry textbooks for a college class. his writing style does not belong in a consumer book. Rating:  - awesome!this book is totally awesome, I've read many books about the brain as I work in a rehab hospital and this is by far the most down to earth book I've read, it explains everything well however, and uses examples of real life people to put it in perspective Rating: - DO NOT BUY...This book is full of ignorance. Read anything but what this manipulative author puts forth in his books. In association with Amazon.com | |
